[rt-users] Freebsd Issues

[Johnson, Michael1 [IT]]

I was at perl 5.6.1 before this so I did a pkg_delete -r of that. I
pkgadded perl5.8. I installed the modules that the RT test did via cpan.
I have a few scripts I used to test the connectivity with the rt user to
the database useing the perl DBI for postgres. That worked fine. 

I upgraded my apache to 1.3.28, and openssl. I compile these by hand.
(damn openssl security stuff)... I needed it for openssh. Anyways once
my webserver was up and running I compiled mod_perl. 

I do run cvsup weekly to update my ports and compile like once every 2
months to keep my kernel up today. I will be going to 5x release around
December when my new rack boxes come in and I can get some time to
config them...

I was manually installing the rt package. I really only like to use the
ports for what I feel are core applications/services.

If you keep running into perl module problems, you may want to
start fresh.

Can you safely/painlessly remove all perl dependencies for the
perl_5.8.0 port and do a "pkg_delete -r"?

If yes, I would reinstall the perl port, run "use.perl port" 
and then try installing mod_perl, Mason, and RT on top of that.
Since you're running 4.7-STABLE, I assume you cvsup once in a 
while; a buildworld rebuilds the base system perl in /usr/bin/perl.

Are you using the port in /usr/ports/www/rt3 (it's farily
new you may need to update your ports tree), or are you
installing manually?
