[rt-users] Bad TMPDIR

[merchant+rt at oceanwave.com]

bruce_campbell> Hrm.  Its not set by RT itself (which could be a problem in
bruce_campbell> overriding nastys from the environment). RT::Interface::Web
bruce_campbell> uses File::Temp, which in the documentation mentions using the
bruce_campbell> TMPDIR variable.  It is possible that when installing the
bruce_campbell> modules, the contents of this variable was hardcoded into some
bruce_campbell> libraries that RT depends on.

Well, the fix for this problem (and another issue where the httpd.conf
settings for rt were messing up the timezone for other apps running on the web
server) was to have rt use fastcgi instead of using mod_perl.
