[rt-devel] RT problem with Mason Component root

[John Fisher]

Shaun,

What is the url/file that you are trying to access when you get the error?
RT 2 no longer needs a cgi-bin directory (if you are using mod_perl). You
just point your browser to the site root: http://yourcompany.com/ and this
reads from the document root /opt/webrt2/WebRT/html dir with mason taking
care of the login stuff via the autohandler. The "rt" file
/opt/webrt2/bin/rt is only for command-line usage - I think.

The reason Mason is complaining is that you gave it
$MasonComponentRoot = "/opt/webrt2/WebRT/html" as the root and are going
outside of it (to the /opt/webrt2/bin dir).
