Is this what you mean?

http://www.zanfur.com/rt3-contrib/AutoCreateFromExternalUserInfo/CurrentUser_Local.pm

If so, you can get it by clicking "edit" on the Wiki page, 
which un-hides the link. If not, I don't know.

Either way, best of luck!

What is easier with fast_cgi then with mod_perl?

My tests shown that if Apache is 1.xx then FastCGI is better.
1) FCGI is faster then MP1, perfomance boost is around 10-15%.
2) You have to build MP1 static usually.
3) Didn't test memory usage a lot.

Autrijus Tang said that with Apache2 MP2 has the same speed as FCGI but
use _less_ memory.

Also want to say that MP2 works fine as DSO so you don't need to rebuild 
Apache if you want rebuild MP2 or/and perl.

Because many users doesn't upgrade thier MP2 up to recent.
They can't imagine that 1.99_07 is more then one year old or may be more.

Um... I guess I didn't actually check _everywhere_.  A very nice writeup 
in the RTWiki 
(http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?MultipleInstances) discusses 
how to do this.  So, never mind :).

I'm not using LDAP but use mod_auth_pam to authenticate web access the same
way as unix system logins, checking first against the local passwd file then
against a windows domain controller.  If a user sends email before I add
them to RT, it automatically creates an account with the full email address
as the login.  I've
been manually removing the @domain part when I add privileges so the logins
will match the system.  Is there a way to make this happen automatically for
email addresses in a few domains?

Hello,

I accidentally replied only to Jesse, so now to the list also:

Yes, the tables are MyISAM, so now i have to convert them or smth.
Only problem is that i have mysql from rpm and it does not support InnoDB, but
i can not find mysql-max package for fedora either.

Does anybody else have had this problem? what's the best solution (install
some other Max rpm, e.g. from mysql.com, install from source or migrate to
postgres)?


Best,
Laas

Hello,

the server system contains:

RT Version is RT3.2.2.

serving:/# perl -V
Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 8 subversion 4) configuration:
  Platform:
    osname=linux, osvers=2.4.27-ti1211, archname=i386-linux-thread-multi
    uname='linux kosh 2.4.27-ti1211 #1 sun sep 19 18:17:45 est 2004 i686
gnulinux '

serving:/# apache -V
Server version: Apache/1.3.31 (Debian GNU/Linux)
Server built:   Oct 29 2004 12:52:40
Server's Module Magic Number: 19990320:16

System:
Linux serving 2.6.8-1-686 #1 Thu Nov 11 13:18:29 EST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux

Apache Settings are:

Default Charsets: UTF-8
and the default virtual host configuration explained in the installation
guide.

RT_SiteConfig.pm

I changed the order of the input email enconding, but with no success.

# Encode::Guess.
# EmailInputEncodiongs geändert am 30.nov

@EmailInputEncodings = qw(utf-8 iso-8859-1 us-ascii) unless
(@EmailInputEncodings)
# The charset for localized email.  Must be recognized by Encode.

Set($EmailOutputEncoding , 'utf-8');


i read that mod perl for debian might contains some problem with utf-8, so
i recompiled it outside from apt-get debian installer paket and cpan from
"fresh" plattform independent build.

The failure only exist if the mail is at mode: text/html

If i change my default charset settings of the internet explorer or
mozilla to western europe(windows) the complete history will be displayed
correctly, but then other charsets (e.g. the header will be displayed
wrong).

The message will be displayed correct (with automated charset settings of
ie) when i >>download<< it. This opens a new window and the charset ist
correct.

An example of a message that will be displayed in the history:

>>Wie bereits mehrfach erw䨮t wird die Tabelle auch f? GUI ben?t.
Also bitte schnellstm?ch pflegen.<<

Normally(i changed the umlauts to ae, oe..)

>>Wie bereits mehrfach erwaehnt wird die Tabelle auch fuer GUI benuetzt.
Also bitte schnellstmoeglich pflegen.<<

And the orginial version:

>>Wie bereits mehrfrach erwähnt wird die Tabelle auch für GUI benützt.
Also bitte schnellstmöglich pflegen.<<

The problem is to localize the problem. Might this error produced by
Debian, the mailer, the import from RT or from a perl package.? That is
the question at this point.

I will send a copy of this mail to the bug report mail adress from another
mail client (using html).

Thank you for your help in advance.

Best regards

Axel Berking

We have another email generating dups - this time no mysql downtime.  I'm
going to set the timeout on rtmailgate up from it's default 180 seconds and
hope for the best.

I've seen this problem with and every time the email had an attachment.  For
me, it's been few and far between so it's just been dealt with by deleting
the mail and merging or deleting the dups.

Or maybe I"m not going to set the timeout...I thought I read somewhere that
there was a --timeout flag for rt-mailgate but now I can't find it.  Anyone
know if it's possible to set this?

Yep.  I just checked it - rather large attachment.  How can I increase the
timeout for rt-mailgate?  Any ideas?
