Unofficial Installation Guide

This is an unofficial installation guide. It may be outdated or apply only to very specific configurations and versions. The official and maintained installation steps for RT are in the README and UPGRADING documents included in the official .tar.gz packages.

These are my notes from deploying RT4 in Debian using packages, I will try to make this more indepth as time goes on. Please note that I am not an expert in this and feel free to add to this / modify as needed.

Useful Links

RT Installation With Apache (This is for Wheezy but still useful)

RT Installation with Nginx

Requirements

Packages

Here is a summary of the packages for apt that are available for use.

request-tracker4

this installs the rt4 core

rt4-db-mysql

This will configure the RT4 database, best to run after installing 'request-tracker4', it does not install mysql-server so you will need to install that first.

rt4-apache2

you may need to edit /etc/apt/sources so that you can get libapache2-mod-fcgi and libapache2-mod-perl2

deb http://ftp.es.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.es.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy-updates main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free

rt4-fcgi

This installs fastcgi related packages for use with nginx, it is not required for apache

Different File Locations

The Debian packages install the files to locations different than it would be if installing from source, see below:

/usr/bin/rt-* (contains rt-mailgate etc.)
/usr/share/request-tracker4/ (contains html files etc)
/usr/share/request-tracker4/rt-server?/ (contains rt-server, rt-server.fcgi, rt-server.pl etc.)
/etc/request-tracker4/ (contains rtconfig.pm and sample config files for apache)
