[rt-users] Moving RT off of the root URL

[Frank Saxton]

Well, it's the "blah, blah, blah" that I need help with.  I'm not the 
brightest guy in the world but if it was a simple one line change I 
wouldn't be wasting everyone's time.

I spent a couple of days trying all types of different combinations 
and got it close to working but there were always problems.  Since I 
assume that very few people here are running RT off of the root URL, 
I figured it would be faster to just ask the experts here.  That was 
3 weeks ago....

My current httpd config is at the bottom and my RT_SiteConfig.pm is 
plain vanilla, per the install instructions.

I've done this with earlier versions of 3.4 and older RT with no 
problems, making a couple of simple alias changes.  Apparently 
something changed in the way Best Practical built 3.5 or 3.6.  I 
wouldn't care so much except that the current ScriptAlias setting 
breaks all of the other web sites on this server :(

Having a great deal of difficulty getting anyone to help me with this.
