[rt-users] rt-server.fcgi hangs

[Jim Brandt]

The Fast CGI modules can be picky about permissions. To troubleshoot, 
you might start with adding the --with-web-user and --with-web-group 
options to your ./configure command to set them to the user/group for 
your version of Linux (or FreeBSD). Some systems use 'apache' some have 
another user/group.

In addition, the generated Makefile has a 'make fixperms' target that 
will reset permissions on your RT directories to what it thinks they 
should be.

Sometimes getting the user/group and permissions correct can make 
FastCGI happy.
