Hi, I would to know the general step on installing OTRS, I have install my Debian Linux and OTRS with detail partition below : root@itsupport:~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 323M 279M 28M 91% / tmpfs 502M 0 502M 0% /lib/init/rw udev 497M 116K 497M 1% /dev tmpfs 502M 0 502M 0% /dev/shm /dev/sda9 7.8G 146M 7.3G 2% /home /dev/sda8 368M 11M 339M 3% /tmp /dev/sda5 7.4G 722M 6.3G 11% /usr /dev/sda6 2.8G 324M 2.3G 13% /var I got stuck when found my root partition already 91%, does anyone have the same problem like me ? Can I install OTRS not in root partition ? but in home partition ? Can I resize the root partition size use free space from home partition ?

Can I install OTRS not in root partition ? but in home partition ?
Yes you can....
Thanks and Regards,
Amit Sharma

Yes, you can install to /home/otrs, for instance, though you'll need to
change the otrs apache config to reflect that path (change all /opt to
/home), as well as in Config.pm
$Self->{Home} = '/home/otrs';
Note that this may require a manual install of the source, check for
dependencies, etc. Read the readme.
you could also
mkdir /opt
ln -s /home/otrs /opt/otrs

IMOHO . if not comfortable or capable with correcting the space issue to afford the space to install OTRS. Innstalling from source and allow the installing to home (or similar) is a bad recipe. I would recommed that looking into clearing or increasing the drive space and allow the package install to run normally. The suggestions provided will work but require more administration skills both for the installation and for continued management, maintenance, and updates.

The rpm installs in /opt, so it could be in a separate partition, but that probably doesn't solve your problem. If you want to try OTRS, using the workaround suggested by Gerald, for example, should work, but needs an install from source. However, I wouldn't put a server in production like that.
Can I resize the root partition size use free space from home partition ?
That is feasible, but bears a certain amount of risk.

It should (could? probably? maybe?) work with rpm if you symlink before
install rpm. I believe the rpm wouldn't know the difference. Now, whether
apache won't follow symlinks is another issue.

@Adi: If this is production, I'd strongly recommend it, but to better
answer your question would be based upon:
- what your intention is with this install (test, dev, production?)
- load: active agents, expected number of tickets, attachment
expectations
- version you're attempting to install
- how you intend to apply updates (source or rpm)
- criticality of application on this box to your business
I'm in agreement with Ugo in principle. The symlink somewhat mitigates the
issue for your install, in my opinion, and may be enough, especially if you
rate the above bullet points as lower priority. The generic answer for high
criticality is not a bigger root partition but a bigger /opt partition. Add
a drive/partition and mount it as /opt. Then you can take that with you
even if you replace the operating system.
