[rt-users] Minor problem installing RT3 on RedHat 8

[Gary Oberbrunner]

RedHat 8 comes with:
   httpd-2.0.40-8 (Apache2)
   mod_perl-1.99_05-3
and no fastcgi.

I am installing RT 3.0.2pre3, and ran into the following problem:

I have the following in conf.d/rt.conf:
   <VirtualHost *>
	Alias /rt /opt/rt3/share/html
         AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

         PerlModule Apache::DBI
         PerlRequire /opt/rt3/bin/webmux.pl

         <Location />
                 SetHandler perl-script
                 PerlHandler RT::Mason
         </Location>
   </VirtualHost>

but starting httpd, I got the following error:
% sudo /etc/init.d/httpd start

I had to upgrade my CGI.pm from 2.81 (default, I believe) to 2.91 to fix 
this problem.  Maybe this version of CGI.pm should be included in the 
dependency list for RT3.0.2, at least if the installed versions of 
Apache and mod_perl are as above?
