[rt-users] Best linux distro, more info.

[Mike Dent]

Ruslan,
Thanks for info. I now have RT working on RH 9 using FastCGI.
However my next problem is the mailgate.
My system is using qmail. I seem unable to get email in to RT. I was hoping to be able to email say
faults at mysystem.com and have the email enter in to the faults queue.
I have a .qmail-faults file which has:
|/usr/local/bin/rt-mailgate --queue faults --action correspond --url http://mysystem.com/
 
I dont get a bounce back, nothing. I am unable to see the email in the faults queue?
 
Thanks
 
Mike

I don't recommend RT on RH9, because it's not supported more:
Advisories for other currently supported products
Red Hat Linux 9 (Shrike)  End of life April 30, 2004

If you don't want bother yourself and community with mp2 problems then
you don't want mp2 from RH9 RPMs, but FastCGI or mp1(no fresh RPMs) or
mp2 from CVS.

There is also no mysql4 only 3.x in RH9.

I reviewed all posts that I could find about "best distro" in my
archives and write it in wiki FAQ:

PS: I ran RT on RH9 based distro :) Installation was pain
