Hi Ilya, You would be able to just replace a couple of files here and there with a "regular" upgrade, for instance if you would want to upgrade from 2.4.4 to 2.4.6 with Strawberry. But in this case you would switch the entire technology stack as well, because you'll switch from strawberry perl to the beta OTRSperl to get mod_perl support. This would cause the need to do a remove - and then subsequent install of otrs.

Hello. I noticed that Apache sometimes causes errors on the OTRS server (there appears a Windows standard message 'Application has crashed'), however, the Apache service keeps running and OTRS keeps working without any visible problems. In the Apache error log I found these lines created just about the time when the error appears: [Thu Dec 17 16:42:18 2009] [notice] Apache/2.2.10 (Win32) mod_perl/2.0.4-dev Perl/v5.10.0 configured -- resuming normal operations [Thu Dec 17 16:42:18 2009] [notice] Server built: Oct 10 2008 12:39:04 [Thu Dec 17 16:42:18 2009] [notice] Parent: Created child process 3148 [Thu Dec 17 16:42:33 2009] [notice] Child 3148: Child process is running [Thu Dec 17 16:42:34 2009] [notice] Child 3148: Acquired the start mutex.

[Thu Dec 17 16:42:51 2009] [notice] Parent: child process exited with status 3221225477 -- Restarting. Can somebody explain what is happening to Apache and how it could be fixed? Cheers, Ilya

customer (email-external) reply is not displayed in GUI
by Tore Lønøy 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

Hello, I have a strange problem with our OTRS installation. How we discovered it: 1. A user sends us an email requesting a new user account 2. Event is registered in OTRS, mail is sent back to user. 3. Agent resolves the ticket, closes and notify the user. The content of agent reply is "Requested user is created, have a nice day." 4. The user responds with an email. The content (as displayed in the web-gui) of the respond is "Requested user is created, have a nice day." The same as in #3. At this point we thought the user had just hit reply for some reason. But it turns out that the user actually wrote "The account isn't working". When we check the database for that matching article entry, we do see that is what the user wrote. We confirmed this by using /bin/otrs.getTicketThread <ticketID>. What we discovered is that the iframe (in index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom&TicketID=<ticket.id>&ArticleID=<article.id>) showing the content is using the wrong FileID. Iframe opens up this URL: otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketAttachment&Subaction=HTMLView&ArticleID=<article.id>&FileID=2 FileID=2 is the content of what the agent responded in #3. If we manually change the FileID to 1, the correct information is shown, which was "The account isn't working". Our DB is MSSQL2005. The article.id in question have this value for article.a_content_type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" OTRS is set up to use charset iso-8859-1, defined in Framework -> Core -> DefaultCharset Does anyone what is wrong, and how we can fix this issue? Best regards, Tore

Hi again, Is it possible to configure for all agent, that they receive notifications for all queues they have access ? I configure my roles, so each agent have good rights on queues, but they manually select all their queues in preferences. Do you know if it's possible to select them for their ?

Installed, but error when email reply to ticket
by Gregory Heffron 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

I just installed the latest OTRS package (2.4.6) on a server running RedHat 5.4. Everything runs great, except when I try to reply to tickets. When I click on any of the responses listed under "Compose Answer (email)," I get this blank screen with the following error: Can't locate object method "new" via package "Net::DNS::Resolver" at / opt/otrs/bin/cgi-bin/../../Kernel/System/CheckItem.pm line 154. Any ideas? Note that "Contact customer (phone):" works perfectly. Best, Greg ps: I'm a newbie, and am making an uneducated guess. I found the following info on cpan about Net::DNS::Resolver under the method "new": > Files except for /etc/resolv.conf must be owned by the effective > userid running the program or they won't be read. I'm wondering if the user "otrs" doesn't own files it needs.
