[TriLUG] Playing with RT Tracker

[Dave Sorenson]

I actually had things running under mod_perl after doing exactly that, 
but it was dog slow. The trouble started when I tried to muck with 
things and install fastCGI as a comparison. I finally got all the 
dependency's to install and now I'm on the trail of what I think is an 
fastcgi config error- the mason_handler.fcgi fails to remain running 
(beats head against the wall, but maintains sense of humor)
