[rt-users] Installation woes

[Chris Dunning]

I'm trying to get RT up and running on my server, it's been interesting 
to say the least.

I finally made it through "make testdeps" by compiling a few of the Perl 
modules by hand.  When I made the addition to httpd.conf and restarted 
Apache, I saw this in the error log and Apache refused to start:

The first thing to try was installing Apache::Constants:

I went to /usr/lib/perl5 and ran the command:
ls -lR | grep -i apache

This showed me a lot of output, including this:

> ./site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Apache:
> ./site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/Apache/Constants:

Looks like the Apache::Constants module is installed in 
./site_per/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi/ which is in the @INC list above.

Here's some information that may be pertinent:
-The server runs CentOS 3
-Using Apache 2
-DirectAdmin control panel manages most things
-RT was the latest version when I downloaded it a few days ago

What should I try next?
