[rt-users] fastcgi setup (debian, rt3.6, apache2

[Tom Vier]

Now i'm stumped. I have both apache2 and mysql running on this machine.
RT works if i access using 127.0.0.1 or it's lan address. However, if i
try the lan address from another machine on the lan, only the login
screen works. After you click login, the browser goes to /index.html
(empty file in /var/www/) instead of /rt/index.html. The html source
shows the post action as "index.html" from a local browser and from
another machine (using both firefox and ie).
