[rt-users] Log::Dispatch installing

[Joe S.]

Yeah, the author of Log::Dispatch is baffled with the test error.  I'm in
suse linux 7.1 with perl 5.6.0.  I'm having a lot of trouble getting
started actually.  2 other perl modules assume you can write to a test
database anonymously in mysql, and that had been disabled
(Apache::Session, DBD::mysql).  I think I have different versions of some
of these modules too, but it doesn't seem to matter.  I also had to let
tcp port 20 into the packet filter, so CPAN could use active ftp to
download.  Plus some modules try to compile a newer version of perl, but I
can control c out of it.

I believe there are some typos in the README too:


this:

find /path/to/rt2/WebRT/sessiondata --type f -amin +600 -exec rm {}\;

should be this (-type not --type, quote {} and add a space after it):

find /path/to/rt2/WebRT/sessiondata -type f -amin +600 -exec rm '{}' \;


and in here I think it should say Apache::Sessions instead of Apache::DBI,
otherwise it can't find some perl module:

<VirtualHost your.ip.address>
DocumentRoot /path/to/rt2/WebRT/html
ServerName your.rt.server.hostname
PerlModule Apache::DBI
PerlRequire /path/to/rt2/bin/webmux.pl
<Location />
 SetHandler perl-script
 PerlHandler RT::Mason
</Location>
</VirtualHost>


Can you tell me how to run rt2 as a symbolic link off the document root
instead of the document root btw?
