[rt-users] Can you run RT on the same server as Twiki?

[Sherri McGurnaghan]

Hi Thomas

That worked! Thank you so much! Now we only have to worry about trying to configure fetchmail config!

We will def make the changes to the memory - we have been so focused on the fact that we could not even get them running together that we have not evaluated it yet.

Thank you again.

You need to install the FCGI Perl module.  Since you appear to be using the Ubuntu packages and the system perl, try this:

   apt-get install libfcgi-perl

It should have been installed when you installed the Ubuntu package, since request-tracker4 depends on libhtml-mason-perl which depends on libfcgi-perl.

RT's standard configure script during a tarball install has an --with-web-handler=fastcgi to ensure this dep is present.

They can run just fine together, however:

That's a tiny amount of memory for an RT server which also hosts the database on the same machine.  You'll want to tune MySQL and Apache so they can't swap death.
