一、安装

apt-get install request-tracker3.6

二、Configuring Request Tracker

vim /etc/request-tracker3.6/RT_SiteConfig.pm

# RT_SiteConfig.pm
#
# These are the bits you absolutely *must* edit.
#
# To find out how, please read
# /usr/share/doc/request-tracker3.6/NOTES.Debian

# THE BASICS:

Set($rtname, ’support.example.org’);
Set($Organization, ‘example.org’);

Set($CorrespondAddress , ’support@example.org’);
Set($CommentAddress , ’support-comment@example.org’);

Set($Timezone , ‘Europe/Brussels’); # obviously choose what suits you

# THE DATABASE:

Set($DatabaseType, ‘mysql’); # e.g. Pg or mysql

# These are the settings we used above when creating the RT database,
# you MUST set these to what you chose in the section above.

Set($DatabaseUser , ‘rtuser’);
Set($DatabasePassword , ‘password’);
Set($DatabaseName , ‘rtdb’);

# THE WEBSERVER:

Set($WebPath , “/rt”);
Set($WebBaseURL , “http://host.example.org”);

三、Mysql Database Configuration

mysql -u root -p

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON rtdb.* TO ‘rtuser’@'localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘password’; FLUSH PRIVILEGES; QUIT 创建rtuser用户并授权

（从上可使用phpmyadmin）

四、Setup RT database

运行命令： /usr/sbin/rt-setup-database-3.6 --action init --dba root --prompt-for-dba-password

提示输入密码，输入在RT_SiteConfig.pm定义的数据库密码，成功的话可以看到如下提示

Password:

五、Configuring Apache

Enable mod rewrite

apt-get install libapache2-mod-perl2

Paste at the end of the file just before the closing virtualhost tag

Include “/etc/request-tracker3.6/apache2-modperl2.conf”

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Finally you need to login to rt and grant CreateTicket and ReplyToTicket to the group Everyone.

http://host.example.org/rt/

Login as user “root”
Password is “password”

Configuring Fetchmail  

Setting up fetchmail

Edit /etc/default/fetchmail

# vim /etc/fetchmailrc

Set START_DAEMON=yes

save and exit the file

Prepare log files

# touch /var/log/fetchmail.log

# chown fetchmail /var/log/fetchmail.log

Edit /etc/fetchmailrc

set daemon 60
set invisible
set no bouncemail
set no syslog
set logfile /var/log/fetchmail.log

# support@example.org
poll pop.example.org
protocol pop3
username “login-of-support-mailbox” password “verysecretpassword”
mda “/usr/bin/rt-mailgate-3.6 --queue support --action correspond --url http://support.example.org/rt/”
no keep

# support-comment@example.org
poll pop.example.org
protocol pop3
username “login-of-supportcomment-mailbox” password “verysecretpassword”
mda “/usr/bin/rt-mailgate-3.6 --queue support --action comment --url http://support.example.org/rt/”
no keepThis howto assumes the mailboxes are created on the email gateway, it’s going beyond the scope of this article though.

The mda line tells fetchmail what to do upon reception of a new email.

You can select the queue in which the mail should be injected, the action can either be “correspond” for customer correspondances while “comment” is for internal comments on a ticket.

Restart Fetchmail

# /etc/init.d/fetchmail restart

Logs go in /var/log/fetchmail.log

You can now try to send an email to support@example.org, the mail would be retrieved by fetchmail and injected into RT.
The requestor will receive an autoreply email (see template autoreply).

Configuration tips

1. You should set up an “Administrative CC” on the support queue. You’ll get an email notice whenever a new ticket is created or a reply from the customer has been received.

2. I noticed that if you create a ticket from the web interface of RT and add an email address in the CC field, the email specified in the CC will not get the email at the creation of the ticket, only on response made to it. (while AdminCC’s are notified)

You must create a new scrip in Configuration > Global > Scrips with the following properties :
On Create Notify Ccs with template Correspondence
