[rt-users] RT installation on Mac OS X

[Patrick Pittman]

I have had an installation up and running on an OS X Server box for a couple
of months now. I did try to get it to work with the stock Apple-flavoured
Apache, but there was only pain. After building perl 5.8.1, I found myself
in the same place as you. I ended up building a stock Apache with mod_perl
just for RT, leaving the Apple server running on port 80 for its other uses.
Also installed mysql 4 via fink. Has been as solid as a rock.

The stock sendmail seems to work fine but the hard work in our mail setup is
done by a qmail server further down the line so can't really say.

Cheers,
Patrick Pittman
