[rt-users] Moving RT3 off the web server root

[Ryan Conley]

Barry -

The setup we use here is quite simple.  The server that I run RT on
handles our helpdesk requests as well as other development applications.
To keep RT separate from all the other things on the server, I simply
added the following lines to httpd.conf (along with similar entries for
our monitoring system, SQL admin pages, etc):

Alias /rt "/var/rt3/share/html"

<Directory "/var/rt3">
        PerlModule Apache::DBI
        PerlRequire /var/rt3/bin/webmux.pl
        SetHandler perl-script
        PerlHandler RT::Mason
</Directory>

In my case, RT is installed in /var/rt3 (not the usual /opt/rt3), and
the web interface is available via http://server/rt/.  Replace paths as
necessary for your system.

If you'd rather have RT continue being the "root" of the server, you
could move it to a <VirtualHost> tag and add more Ips to your server.
There are several HOWTOs on that subject - I'll leave that to you and
Google. :-)

Try putting the RT related stuff into a <Directory> section:

<Directory /full/system/path/to/dir/>
SetHandler .... (what's in the example's VirtualHost config
</Dierctory>

Alias /web-dir/ /full/system/path/to/dir/


Then you need to update a variable in the RT configuration to tell
RT to prefix all paths with /web-dir/


If using virtual host, simply change the value of the <Location>
Directive and also update the var in the RT config file.

Note: I have not tried this, I justguess it works.

Hope it helps.
