<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Thanks for the reminder to check the built-in server first; it's still trying to use SQLite. My config file says to use MySQL, but RT doesn't seem to want to.

To apply those changes, I have to restart whatever server it's running on, but to do that, a server has to be running. /var/log/request-tracker4 has no files in it at all, so I can't look there to see if there's a missing piece. I don't know why I'm having so much trouble with what should be a relatively straightforward process; I'm either missing something very obvious, or the Debian package for RT isn't working correctly. Installing with the latest source, though, was a nightmare.<br><br></div>Anyway, any thoughts on where to go from here? My configuration file seems to be okay, but RT doesn't want to pick it up. Maybe that's the root of my problem?<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Sep 1, 2016 at 1:36 PM, Kenneth Marshall <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ktm@rice.edu" target="_blank">ktm@rice.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5">On Thu, Sep 01, 2016 at 01:23:23PM -0400, Alex Hall wrote:<br>

</div></div>Hi Alex,<br>
<br>
We use nginx+spawn-fcgi with RT here and it works very well. I think you<br>
will need to test each piece of your setup before moving to the next. i.e.<br>
Does the standalone server run? Then try it with fcgi. You should also<br>
check your RT logs, because if the backend exits, then their will be nothing<br>
to talk to.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Ken<br>
