Configure RT(Ticketing system) in Fedora

Ticketing system use of Sales lead Tracking,bug tracking or networking security tracking.
Basic installation & configuration RT in fedora
$ yum install httpd
$ yum install mysql
$ yum install mysql-server
$ yum install sendmail*
$ yum install dovecot*

Start the httpd and mysql services

service mysqld start
service httpd start

Make sure the httpd & mysqld service start at boot

chkconfig httpd on
chkconfig mysqld on


RT Installation
wget http://www.jwhite3.com/files/rt-3.6.6-bundle.tar.gz 

tar –zxvf rt-3.6.6-bundle.tar.

 Set repository -set repository if you are using rhel 5

vi /etc/yum/repos.d/localrt.repo

[rhel51-rt3] name=RT 3.6.6 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.1 baseurl=file:///path/to/your/extracted/files enabled=1 gpgcheck=0
Install rt3 and all dependencies with yum

yum install rt3

RT Post Setup

Now that rt is installed you may want to customize your setup. Inorder to do that you will need to know where your files are located. This package changes the file locations from the fedora6 version of rt,and differs greatly from the BP default

Customize /etc/rt3/RT_SiteConfig.pm

You may find a need to change the site configuration of rt from time to time. For example to point rt to a remote database, configure external authentication, or set other configurable options. Below are several options that I like to set, but keep in mind these may differ greatly from a standard configuration.

Set($WebExternalAuth , '1');
Set($WebFallbackToInternalAuth , '1'); 
Set($OldestTransactionsFirst, 0); 
Set($MyTicketsLength, 25); 
Set($MyRequestsLength, 25); 
Set($WebBaseURL , "http://rt.blogspot.com"); 
Set($WebPath , ""); Set($WebImagesURL , $WebPath . "/NoAuth/images"); 
Set($rtname, 'blogspot.com'); 
Set($DatabaseHost   , 'db.blgspot.com'); 
Set($DatabaseRTHost , 'localhost'); 
Set($DatabaseUser, 'dbuser'); 
Set($DatabasePassword , 'dbpassword'); 
Set($DevelMode, '0'); 
Set($ShowTransactionImages, 0); 
Set($SuppressInlineTextFiles, true); 

Initialize the RT database

rt-setup-databse --action init


Configure sendmail

Symlink rt-mailgate to /etc/smrsh, and create aliases to use RT:

ln -s /opt/rt3/bin/rt-mailgate /etc/smrsh/rt-mailgate

Edit /etc/aliases and add lines:


rt: "|/etc/smrsh/rt-mailgate --queue general --action correspond --url http://blogspot.com/"
rt-comment: “|/etc/smrsh/rt-mailgate –queue general –action comment –url http://blogspot.com/”

Edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and change the line:


DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl
to read:
dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA’)

Edit /etc/dovecot.conf and change the line:

protocols = imap,imaps,pop3,pop3s

Rebuild your sendmail.cf:

m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

Add rt server alias to /etc/mail/local-host-names:

rt.blogspot.com

Restart sendmail:

service sendmail restart


Test your new RT instance

Login to your new RT instance and test things out:

Default URL : http://blogspot.com/rt3/
Default User: root
Default password-password

Can anyone recommend the top performing Script Deployment software for a small IT service company like mine? Does anyone use Kaseya.com or GFI.com? How do they compare to these guys I found recently: N-able N-central help desk software
? What is your best take in cost vs performance among those three? I need a good advice please... Thanks in advance!
