Anyone installed otrs with webapp-config?
I just don't get it!

otrs emerged fine, but I get:

# webapp-config -I -h localhost -d 'otrs' otrs 3.0.10
* Fatal error: Unable to determine location of master copy
* Fatal error(s) - aborting

Could someone please help?
google doesn't get me fitting answers for gentoo

Thanks!

Hi,
I strongly suggest you to use source package installation method. I am
using it without any problem.

I have been using webapp-config for all the webapps on my server and it does
work for me.
Not seen that error before. I am wondering if something might be configured
incorrectly.

Do you have the folder: "/usr/share/webapps/otrs/3.0.10" ?

Also, I would try not to put quotes arount the "-d" parameter. I have never
needed that myself.

I actually prefer using "vhosts" USE-flags. It allows me to test new versions
before wiping the existing onces.

Is there any reason why you advice against the vhosts-method?

No, I don't have that!

Thanks, I would really love to get that working soon.

Then I think this is the problem.
Did you install with the "vhosts" USE-flag?

If yes, where did the ebuild place the files? (You should be able to see this
in the output from the ebuild and/or in the emerge-logfiles.

otrs doesn't have that flag!

everything is put to /var/lib/otrs/

The permissions don't fit the apache-user, and the file

/var/lib/otrs/scripts/apache2-httpd.include.conf

gives me headaches as well when put to /etc/apache2/vhosts.d

I am unsure where to put it and fiddle around for hours already.

That's why I would love the webapp-config-approach.

Please don't CC me into all the emails, list-mails end up correctly.

Just noticed, the 3.x versions appear to have that flag removed. I wonder why
they did that as it makes managing webapplications a lot simpler that way.

Yes, it would be easier.

The 3.0.10 version wants me to unmask a few too many other packages for my
liking to have a quick check.

Did you read the documentation and have a look at the sample configuration
provided?
From what I see in the patch for the httpd.include file, I don't think it
belongs in the vhosts.d folder as this is supposed to be for definitions of
vhosts-files.

sorry for the noise

The ebuild seems a bit outdated and non-maintained.

Understood.

sure, I did

Yep. I had it pasted into the existing default-host already, but the
problem was that the path of otrs was outside the setting of:

DocumentRoot "/var/www/localhost/htdocs"

I wanted to avoid moving the stuff there from /var/lib/otrs manually, to
keep portage happy in future.

Might try to cp the ebuild into a local overlay and edit $OTRS_HOME to
something like "/var/www/localhost/htdocs/otrs", just to get on with it.
I have people waiting to use OTRS ...

I really wonder that I am the first person hitting these issues.

btw, just found that bug and updated it ...
