Hi! I'm a new user of OTRS and it looks very nice. But I have the same problem as Christoph wrote in his mail from the 20th August. On Tue, Aug 20, 2002 at 02:33:08PM +0200, Christoph Kaulich wrote: > Yes, but sometimes I get day directories like this: > > drwxr-sr-x 5 otrs nogroup 92 Aug 9 15:03 9 > > and wwwrun can not create new article directories.

Always when this job runs, I'll recive the mails once again. Then I have tried to start the job as "root" and it worked, the mails where deleted, but I also get the deleted mails one more time. I've installed OTRS via rpm file (0,5 Beta 7) on a SuSE Linux 8.0 distribution. I only have replace the following files: Article.pm DB.pm Maybe someone has an idea how to fix this problem? Also thanks for the great work. Maybe it is possible for a future version also to take a look at all open tickets, so the chief will have a survey. Ciao Heimo

Escalation time for Queues
by Andreas Haase 10 Sep '02

10 Sep '02

Hello, Now it is so, that we set up an escalation time for our ticket queues and if an employee doesn't answer one of his tickets within this time, it escalates. That's how it should work, i guess. But now it would be fine, if this employee could say "Resubmit this ticket after x minutes and don't block the ticket system in this time" or "Extend the escalation time to xy minutes". Is that possible to implement?

index.pl errors?
by Tony VanScoy 09 Sep '02

09 Sep '02

I've been having some trouble with 500 internal server errors. I looked at my logs files for apache and it was saying that i didnt have some of the proper modules installed, so i installed them. Now all i get in my error log is "Premature end of script headers: /*/*/*/*/index.pl". any ideas what could be causing this?

Graphical Stats
by Andreas Haase 05 Sep '02

05 Sep '02

Hello, I've installed OTRS 0.5Beta7 with all required perl modules that are listed in the documentation. But when I go to "stats" in the frontend, I only get a numerical overview with "closed succesfull" and "all" tickets, but no graphics. What do I have to do to get these graphics like in test system of OTRS? Are there any configuration options that I didn't find? Thanks in advance.

hourly new item in the raw-queue
by Ralph Müller 05 Sep '02

05 Sep '02

Hello, I am just playing around with otrs. I did configure a pop3 account, sent one mail to it and fetched it from my otrs-machine. It was put to the raw-queue. I moved the ticket to my own queue and did work on it. Until here everything is clear. But now to every full hour a new ticket appears in the raw queue, all from the same mail which I did already move to my queue. Where does it come from and how can I stop this? There is no mail in the used pop3 account, also the local otrs account has no mails? Any hints? Thanks in advance. Ralph Mueller

Fulltext Search
by Andreas Haase 02 Sep '02

02 Sep '02

Hello, I just tried to search for "e" in fulltext search and saw, that there are displayed only 20 entries. This is configurable via $Self->{SearchLimitTxt} = 20 in Config.pm But the real count of matched entries is much bigger, is it possible to make a "next page" button, that I can display all entries site by site?
