I fixed some of my problems.  I did two things to fix them, but I'm still stuck.

1.  I copied my RT_SiteConfig.pm and Apache Config and re-ran the installation (./configure -> make testdeps -> make install).  I copied my saved RT_SiteConfig.pm and Apache config back to their original location.  I ran "make dropdb" to redo the database installation.  There wasn't anything in there before so I was aware of the warning of all data being lost.

This fixed the problem I was having trying to log onto the web interface with the defaults (root and password).  I would like to change this password, can anyone tell me how this is changed?  The README file didn't say how or where.

2.  I partly fixed the problem I was having with LDAP.  First, I looked for the ./RT/Authen/ directory and copied it recursively over to /opt/rt3/bin.  This fixed the problem as far as the Module being included, but it did not fix the problem I'm having trying to use LDAP.

So, here are examples of my problems after the fixings.  Could someone double check them for me?  Thank you once again for your assistance.

RT_SiteConfig.pm settings:
