Installation:
=============

1. Install the latest OTRS-RPM for Red Hat Linux (http://otrs.org/) and all required 
   software packages (if needed, Apache, MySQL, ...) with YaST or "rpm -i otrs-xxx.rpm".

2. There is currently no "MIME::Tools" Red Hat RPM available. :-( So you have to 
   install via CPAN. ("perl -MCPAN -e shell;" -> "install MIME::Tools")

3. Start (or restart) the webserver (service httpd restart).
  
4. Start the database server (service mysqld start)
 
5. Setup the database via "http://yourhost/otrs/installer.pl" (just for MySQL, 
   SuSE-RPMs and Red Hat-RPMs)

6. Restart the webserver (service httpd restart). 

7. Installation finished, login ("http://yourhost/otrs/index.pl") as user "root@localhost" 
   with password "root"

   --> goto AdminArea and set some config settings (UserAdd, Queues, ...).

Remark: For installation questions ask otrs@otrs.org (http://lists.otrs.org/).

Have a lot of fun.
