[TriLUG] Playing with RT Tracker

[Cristobal Palmer]

We use RT with apache2 and libapache2-mod-fastcgi on Ubuntu Dapper
(actually a xen domU with an FC5 kernel). Works fine here. There's a
little slowness if a ticket gets really huge, but otherwise it's
great.

I did spend a good while (almost an hour) when I set it up the first
time working through the dependencies, but in my case the problem was
that one of the libs was trying to pull the 1.3 branch of Apache.
Fortunately Ubuntu now has two meta-packages, rt3.4-apache and
rt3.4-apache2, that help resolve that.

Also note that libapache2-mod-fastcgi is in the "multiverse/web" section.

Can you give us the exact error message?
