[rt-users] problems with install

[Bo Lynch]

OK i got that to work and installed RT and initialized the databse with no
problems. But when I restart httpd it fails. In the error_log i get
Tue Jul 08 13:03:31 2008] [error] \nRT couldn't load RT config file
/etc/rt3/RT_SiteConfig.pm as:\n    user: root \n    group: root\n\nThe
file is owned by user root and group root.  \n\nThis usually means that
the user/group your webserver is running\nas cannot read the file.  Be
careful not to make the permissions\non this file too liberal, because it
contains database passwords.\nYou may need to put the webserver user in
the appropriate group\n(root) or change permissions be able to run
succesfully.\n\nUnrecognized character \\xE2 at /etc/rt3/RT_SiteConfig.pm

[Tue Jul 08 13:03:31 2008] [error] Can't load Perl file:
/usr/sbin/webmux.pl for server 127.0.0.1:0, exiting...

In my httpd conf file apache is the user that my webserver is running. The
/usr/sbin/webmux.pl file exists and has permissions of 755 root.root.
