[rt-users] Rt on Sun hardware with Solaris OS

[Brian_Gupta at timeinc.com]

Sun wrote an install guide:

 

http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?SolarisInstallGuide

 

Unfortunately this came out after we did our install, so I can't speak
for it's quality, but I looked it over and it looks a good basic install
guide. (It doesn't really cover customization)

 

We have been running RT 3.0.8 on Solaris 8 for about a year now. I
recommend the effort, as it is a very useful tool. It took about a day
or two to get it up, not much hacking involved. The hardest part was
installing all the prerequisite perlmodules. I ended up using the CPAN
module, and it became much easier.

 

Once you have it up and running, further configuration and customization
took about a week. (This included time to read the docs and familiarize
myself with the application).

 

Please let me know if you have any questions. You will find
http://wiki.bestpractical.com is a decent resource, once you decide to
go forward.

	Has anyone tried to install RT on a Sun machine running Solaris
9 or 8? If so there much additional work that need to happen before the
application functioned correctly? Was it Time effective?  I have in the
past taken an application from the freebsd Ports collection and hacked
it to work under Solaris. However, I was not pleased with the amount of
work and time that it took to convert it. Basically I'm looking to find
out the amount of work and time it would take to implement Rt on a SUN
machine running Solaris 8 or 9.  

	 

	 

	Thanks
