New setup questions - smtps, faq, mod_perl

Hi there, I have just setup OTRS on CentOS 5.4, and all is going well thus far. I just have a few questions that my google searches have not yielded results for... 1) When using the support module to check if my system is optimized, I get: Check for CGI Accelerator. You should use FastCGI or mod_perl to increase your performance. - What do i need to do to enable that? It seems to be set up in my apache conf (mod_perl). 2) I also installed the FAQ module. Where on earth can I remove the "default comment"? 3) I am using smtps (Core::Sendmail) for my mail server as it requires a TLS connection on port 587. I am pretty sure i set it up right. But when i use a function that requires mail (IE recover password), I get: Traceback: ERROR: OTRS-CGI-10 Perl: 5.8.8 OS: linux Time: Tue Jan 5 14:26:12 2010 Message: Can't connect to smtp.xxxxxxxx.com: ! Traceback (19419): Module: Kernel::System::Email::SMTPS::Send (v1.2) Line: 92 Module: Kernel::System::Email::Send (v1.64) Line: 683 Module: Kernel::System::Web::InterfaceCustomer::Run (v1.41.2.1) Line: 457 Module: /opt/otrs/bin/cgi-bin/customer.pl (v1.42) Line: 48 - Now i can ping that hostname without issue from the server. I have all the required perl modules installed as well.

Hi All, When a ticket gets assigned to a certain agent, that agent gets 2 notifications via email; 1. AddNote (with comments that the supervisor gave assigning the ticket to the agent) 2. OwnerUpdate (with notification that that agent became the new owner of this ticket) How can i disable the AddNote notification? Im running on OTRS 2.3.4 (ubuntu) Thanks! Derk

Is changing; Ticket::Frontend::AgentTicketOwner###HistoryType: in Frontend::Agent::Ticket::ViewOwner To another value the right solution?

Hi there,
1. About enabling mod_perl, please read /opt/otrs/README.webserver
2. If you're logged in as admin, you'll be able to delete any FAQ article
opening it and clicking the Delete button (
http://yourserver/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentFAQ&Subaction=Delete&CategoryID=...
)
3. To make sure you have all modules installed, run
/opt/otrs/bin/otrs.checkModules, particularly Net::SMTP::SSL, which is
needed for SMTPS, besides that, share with us the corresponding log entries
at http://yourserver/otrs/index.pl?Action=AdminLog after you click under
"Run Now!" at http://yourserver/otrs/index.pl?Action=AdminMailAccount
Greeetings,

Hey there, 1) I had a look at all of that documentation (README.webserver), and it was already setup. I had used the RPM for OTRS (I am on CentOS 5), and it did the configuration and added a perl.conf and otrs.conf to my config.d directory. Just for giggles, I added the load module directive to my httpd.conf (As I knew Apache would load it only once - but give me feedback if the other instance loaded) - so i can confirm my mod_perl was being loaded. So I am still not sure why it is not being used by OTRS. 2) I can add and delete my FAQ just fine, but somewhere in the template, there are the words "default comment". It appears above the FAQ categories. For example: ----------------- FAQ default comment <------------------------ This is what I want to get rid of. Name / Comment SubCategories Article Hardware Hardware related FAQ for devices such as computers, cell phones, etc 1 0 ----------------- It actually even shows up at http://faq.otrs.org in their (OTRS) own FAQ instance. 3) In the checkModule, I have all modules in there as OK. The one in particular that you mentioned too. o Net::SMTP......................ok (v2.31) o Authen::SASL................ok (v2.12) o Net::SMTP::SSL..............ok (v1.01) As for your request to have a look at the link: http://yourserver/otrs/index.pl?Action=AdminMailAccount - That is the admin area for incoming email. My issue is with outbound. IE when as password request, etc. From this link (for config): http://yourserver/otrs/index.pl?Action=AdminSysConfig&Subaction=Edit&SysConf... But in the adminlog, there were the following errors (nothing else related) from when I requested as password: Tue Jan 5 13:51:19 2010 error OTRS-CGI-10 Can't connect to smtp.xxxxxxxxxxx.com: !

Ok, I got it working. Stupid mistake, There was a use statement that had to be uncommented. I thought it was meant to be a comment. doh! SO to confirm for others, I had changed the following in the /opt/otrs/scripts/apache2-perl-startup.pl file: Uncommented (and added my password): use Apache::DBI (); Apache::DBI->connect_on_init('DBI:mysql:otrs', 'otrs', 'yourpassword'); use DBI (); Then uncommented (as I am using mysql): # enable this if you use mysql use DBD::mysql (); use Kernel::System::DB::mysql; Man, what a nice change in speed of the web interface. Now I only hve the following 2 issues outstanding. ------- 2) I also installed the FAQ module. Where on earth can I remove the "default comment"? 3) I am using smtps (Core::Sendmail) for my mail server as it requires a TLS connection on port 587. I am pretty sure i set it up right. But when i use a function that requires mail (IE recover password), I get: Traceback: ERROR: OTRS-CGI-10 Perl: 5.8.8 OS: linux Time: Tue Jan 5 14:26:12 2010 Message: Can't connect to smtp.xxxxxxxx.com: ! Traceback (19419): Module: Kernel::System::Email::SMTPS::Send (v1.2) Line: 92 Module: Kernel::System::Email::Send (v1.64) Line: 683 Module: Kernel::System::Web::InterfaceCustomer::Run (v1.41.2.1) Line: 457 Module: /opt/otrs/bin/cgi-bin/customer.pl (v1.42) Line: 48 - Now i can ping that hostname without issue from the server. I have all the required perl modules installed as well. I have (for settings): SendmailModule: SMTPS SendmailModule::CMD: (left as default) SendmailModule::Host: myhostname SendmailModule::AuthUser: full email address (as my server requires) SendmailModule::AuthPassword: *********** ------- But since i got mod_perl working, I noticed the traceback changed a bit for my smtp sending issue: Traceback: ERROR: OTRS-CGI-10 Perl: 5.8.8 OS: linux Time: Wed Jan 6 10:45:06 2010 Message: Can't connect to smtp.xxxxxxxx.com: ! Traceback (2138): Module: Kernel::System::Email::SMTPS::Send (v1.2) Line: 92 Module: Kernel::System::Email::Send (v1.64) Line: 683 Module: Kernel::System::Web::InterfaceCustomer::Run (v1.41.2.1) Line: 457 Module: ModPerl::ROOT::ModPerl::Registry::opt_otrs_bin_cgi_2dbin_customer_2epl::handler (unknown version) Line: 48 Module: (eval) (v1.42) Line: 204 Module: ModPerl::RegistryCooker::run (v1.42) Line: 204 Module: ModPerl::RegistryCooker::default_handler (v1.42) Line: 170 Module: ModPerl::Registry::handler (v1.99) Line: 31 So I guess if anyone has any additional info and sending email with SMTPS, and that dumb "default" comment in the FAQ module, that would be appreciated.

Do you mean:
enable this if you use mysql use DBD::mysql (); use Kernel::System::DB::mysql;
Or do you mean:
(under apache) use DBI ();
(under core modules) use Kernel::System::DB;

Just uncomment and modify: Apache::DBI->connect_on_init('DBI:mysql:otrs', 'otrs', 'some-pass'); ?

Hey there,
1) I had a look at all of that documentation (README.webserver), and it was already setup. I had used the RPM for OTRS (I am on CentOS 5), and it did the configuration and added a perl.conf and otrs.conf to my config.d directory. Just for giggles, I added the load module directive to my httpd.conf (As I knew Apache would load it only once - but give me feedback if the other instance loaded) - so i can confirm my mod_perl was being loaded. So I am still not sure why it is not being used by OTRS.
2) I can add and delete my FAQ just fine, but somewhere in the template, there are the words "default comment". It appears above the FAQ categories. For example:
----------------- FAQ
default comment <------------------------ This is what I want to get rid of.
Name / Comment SubCategories Article Hardware Hardware related FAQ for devices such as computers, cell phones, etc 1 0 -----------------
It actually even shows up at http://faq.otrs.org in their (OTRS) own FAQ instance.
3) In the checkModule, I have all modules in there as OK. The one in particular that you mentioned too. o Net::SMTP......................ok (v2.31) o Authen::SASL................ok (v2.12) o Net::SMTP::SSL..............ok (v1.01)
As for your request to have a look at the link: http://yourserver/otrs/index.pl?Action=AdminMailAccount - That is the admin area for incoming email. My issue is with outbound. IE when as password request, etc.
From this link (for config): http://yourserver/otrs/index.pl?Action=AdminSysConfig&Subaction=Edit&SysConf...
But in the adminlog, there were the following errors (nothing else related) from when I requested as password:
Tue Jan 5 13:51:19 2010 error OTRS-CGI-10 Can't connect to smtp.xxxxxxxxxxx.com: !
Any additional ideas?

I just have a few questions that my google searches have not yielded results for...
1) When using the support module to check if my system is optimized, I get:
Check for CGI Accelerator. You should use FastCGI or mod_perl to increase your performance.
- What do i need to do to enable that? It seems to be set up in my apache conf (mod_perl).
