[rt-users] New install problem

[Bobby Wrenn]

I have just install RT2 on a clean RH7.3 install. I installed everything
perl I could find, satisfied every dependency I could find any reference
to and configured everything that made sense to me in config.pm. I added
the default mod_perl lines to httpd.conf. and started apache.

When browsing to the RT box at http://10.1.29.255/ I get the following:

----------
<& /Elements/Header, Title=>"Start page", Refresh =>
$session{'home_refresh_interval'} &> <& /Elements/Tabs, current_toptab
=> '' &>
<& /Elements/CustomHomepageHeader, %ARGS &> <& /Elements/MyTickets &>
<& /Elements/MyRequests &> <& /Elements/Quicksearch &>
<& /Elements/Refresh, Name => 'HomeRefreshInterval', Default => $session
{'home_refresh_interval'} &>
<%init> if ($ARGS{'HomeRefreshInterval'}) {
$session{'home_refresh_interval'} = $ARGS{'HomeRefreshInterval'}; }
------------
There is also a <GO> button on the right side of the web page.

The httpd/error_log shows:

So it looks like mod_perl is working. I do not know how to what else to
check.

What is not working? It seems like something required is missing. But I
don't know how to ask the right question to get to the answer. I have
been trying to get RT installed for almost a month without success. I
have gone to a clean install of a know supported distro and followed
everything I could find to the letter. Still no joy.

I am expected to be able to demo this by Tuesday morning. It is now
Sunday afternoon. Help!

TIA
