  RHEL3 comes with MySQL 3.  It was included in my distribution from
Rackspace, and I don't think they mess w/ things very much.  I
uninstalled it and installed MySQL 4.1 from the MySQL-provided binary
RPMs.

  Actually I was wrong -- I apparently got lazy and used the ActivePerl
5.8 RPM distribution, installing it in /opt/pkg.  THEN I added Perl
modules from the RT configure script.  This has worked fine.

  This worked just fine for me w/ Apache2:

Alias /rt "/opt/rt3/share/html"
PerlModule Apache::DBI
PerlRequire /opt/rt3/bin/webmux.pl
<Directory /opt/rt3/share/html>
  AllowOverride All
  Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
  <IfModule mod_access.c>
        Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
  </IfModule>
</Directory>

<Location /rt>
  RewriteEngine On
  RedirectMatch permanent (.*)/$ $1/index.html
  AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
  SetHandler perl-script
  PerlHandler RT::Mason
</Location>
