[rt-users] [Installation] RH7.3 tried mod_perl, tried FastCGI - no love.

[Gavin BS Cowie]

Oh woe is me...

Yesterday I began the installation attempt. Did multiple iterations of 
cpan fixdeps, installed the apache-devel, and zlib-devel, and 
mysql-devel and eventually got the dependencies satisfied and was 
feeling pretty smug. Briefly.

It seems that apache and mod_perl don't get along as is. Since whenever 
I have :
PerlRequire /opt/rt2/bin/webmux.pl

in my list of apache directives, apache won't start, and instead "dies" 
taking the "subsys" with it, leading to the horrid :
httpd dead but *subsys* *locked*

when I comment that line out, apache is happy. Of course, RT won't work 
without it.

So I move on to trying FastCGI instead. I put in all the appropriate 
directives, but when I try and go to the RT site, in the apache error 
log I receive :

[Thu Nov  7 17:52:16 2002] [error] [client 10.11.0.60] FastCGI: comm 
with server "/opt/rt2/bin/mason_handler.fcgi" aborted: idle timeout (30 sec)

No debugable info there, just a timeout, how can I troubleshoot that?

I see someone (but only one!) has had these issues before :

that poor schmoe got no love back in January... anyone got any input now?

Cheers,

G
