[rt-users] RT 3.4.2 installation woes

[Adrian Close]

Hi all,

So, I'm going slightly nuts trying to deploy RT 3.4.2 in a virgin Debian 
Woody environment.  Having installed PostgreSQL 7.4, built my own Perl 
5.8.6 and mod_perl 1.29 DSO and satisified all the Perl dependencies via 
the CPAN shell, as well as configured up Apache, I appear to be 
tantalisingly close to a working installation.  Oh, and I installed RT as 
well (including the database setup).  ;)

What I have now is something I can log into as 'root' with the default 
password and click around a bit in.  However, many links (e.g. 
Tickets) result in content my browser (Firefox) wants to download rather 
than display, presumably because it still looks a lot like Mason code as 
opposed to renderable HTML.  Other links, such as "Configuration -> Users" 
do kinda work.

Something akin to Mason does indeed appear to be parsing the raw files and 
producing content, because if I comment out, say, "PerlHandler RT::Mason" 
in httpd.conf, I get plain code in my browser (i.e. no download dialog).

Does this ring any bells for anyone?  Have I missed something small, yet 
vital?  I'll keep plugging away, but any clues would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
