My apologies for dragging up an old subject, however I saved this one to
try out later.  I tried removing the virtual host tag in httpd.conf and
just use the directory tags you have above (replacing var with opt for
my standard install) and it broke RT.  It went back to the %% gobbility
goop(which indicates its not parsing the perl).  Is there something else
I missed?
