This has been explained to you already, you can't use localhost to 
anyone else than you. I.e., localhost will be different for different 
machines. You have to use your machines ip-address. The sooner you get 
rid of localhost the sooner you are little bit closer to a working system.


> it installed it in /usr/share/rt3/html

That is the default yes. Except the directory is just /usr/share/rt3/ in 
my opinion

> next I downloaded rt-3.8.1.tar.gz

Why, when you installed RT already through packet management system?

what is "html" doing at the end of the path? Was it really installed in 
that directory by yum?

Yes because you installed the new version to /usr/share/rt3/html

Do you have webmux in that directory you specified. The path with my 
install is /opt/rt/sbin/webmux.pl

Why you have to have localhost as the address? You need to understand 
apaches configuration files to be able to configure the address to your 
liking.

What I would do is to make a clean install if you don't have tickets or 
anything yet. And follow the instruction closely. I had some problems 
too with upgrade but they were because I had an older RT instance 
configured on the same server, so it's better you remove all traces of 
RT from httpd.conf I think.
