[rt-users] RT boilerplate error: Log file '/local/rt3/var/log/rt.log' couldn't be written or created

[Richard McMahon]

I am trying to run some RT queries using the RT boilerplate
from the O' Reilly All About RT presentation page 188 by Jesse Vincent
as a normal user on a existing RT installation.


#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use lib qw(/opt/rt3/local/lib /opt/rt3/lib);
use RT;
# Load the config file
RT::LoadConfig();
# Connect to the database and get RT::SystemUser
# loaded
RT::Init();


This produces the error.

Log file '/local/rt3/var/log/rt.log' couldn't be written or created.
  RT can't run. at /local/rt3/lib/RT.pm line 318.

Is there a way to change the location of the of rt.log from within a perl 
script. I do not have root priveledges and only want read access for
queries using the API.

Thanks Richard
