[rt-users] PATCH: RT.pm.in for MasonComponentRoot

[Jo Rhett]

So I just setup 3.8.4 as an install from source in its own directory  
instead of using the FreeBSD port.

When I got done, I got a 404 error that wouldn't go away.  RT log  
indicated
[Thu Jul 23 19:57:45 2009] [warning]: [Mason] Cannot resolve file to  
component: /u/rtweb/rt38/share/html/index.html (is file outside  
component root?) at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/HTML/Mason/ 
ApacheHandler.pm line 852. (/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/HTML/ 
Mason/ApacheHandler.pm:852)

As it turns out, the problem was in lib/RT.pm.  It doesn't seem to  
work okay with relative paths.

The fix for the source tree would be:
