[rt-users] RT on Mac OS X

[David Wheeler]

Hi All,

Just started playing with RT and noticed this in the docs:

> # Apache, mod_perl and Mac OSX
> As previously noted, loading mod_perl dynamically (DSO) does not work 
> with RT2 approximately 20-40% of the time. This includes the default 
> Apache + mod_perl installation under Mac OSX.
>
> The following lines (under MacOSX) are indicative of this problem:
> dyld: /usr/sbin/httpd multiple definitions of symbol 
> _ApacheRequest___parse
> /Library/Perl/darwin/auto/Apache/Request/Request.bundle definition of 
> _ApacheRequest___parse
> /Library/Perl/darwin/auto/Apache/Cookie/Cookie.bundle definition of 
> _ApacheRequest___parse
>
> If you can, recompile Apache with mod_perl statically linked, or use 
> FastCGI. If you must use mod_perl as a dynamic module, please find a 
> solution to RT2 not consistently working and send it back to rt-devel.
>
> I do lots of RT development on Mac OS X using FastCGI and it works 
> pretty damn well. - Jesse

For those who want to run it under a normal Apache on Mac OS X, see my 
articles on MacDevCenter.com explaining how to compile and install your 
own Apache with static mod_perl:

HTH,
