<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Would it be possible to have
a totally canned RT, perhaps with its own perl with all the modules needed,
and installed via some sort of web based installer? Consider the
following scenario: I have a web/domain provider who handles my
storage needs, such as godaddy.com. I have tons of web space, but no
control over the perl modules. However, if everything were installed in
my web space such that the canned RT cgi knew where to find its own perl,
everything should work. I can create aliases to point to queues as
well, via my web providers' control panel tools.<br>
<br>
A similar type of installer exists for a wonderful piece of free forums
software called SMF ( http://www.simplemachines.org/ ). It has a couple
initial manual steps: create a database on some mysql/postgress system,
create a database user with admin rights on that database. That info
is then entered that into a field of the web installer along with the
location of the database, and hit GO. It builds everything, lets you
configure everything via a web interface, etc.<br>
<br>
Perhaps I'm over simplifying the installation, so please feel free to point
out the flaws. The idea just popped into my head as I was taking a
walk, spacing off.<br>
