freebsd stable - Jul 2005 - Q: RT32 (Request Tracker) + jail

Greetings,

 	I would like to have RT running in a jailed environment.  The 
challenge, it seems, will be to get sendmail running in the same jailed 
environment as RT and the other components.
 	For those not so familiar with the components of RT, the 
jail would include apache1.3+modperl, MySQL, sendmail, and RT.  That's a 
lot of stuff to get working in there!  (but fortunately FreeBSD jails 
seem straightforward and easy) ^_^
 	I expect sendmail to be the real problem of the above bunch.

 	Has anyone actually tried to do this with a big multi-part app 
like RT (I have not spotted anyone's documented attempts on Google) and 
would be willing to share to the list?

 	Does anyone else wonder if I've lost it? (Don't answer that)...
^_^

 	Thanks,

Sendmail should do just fine, I'd think.

If I were you I would grab /usr/ports/sysutils/jailctl (ok, insert  
blatant self-praise here ;), create yourself one or more jails, and  
log into them as if they were normal fbsd installs. Everything you  
mention should work perfectly fine; I'm running anything between 5  
and 50 jails of similiar types (with web, mail, database, cvs,  
subversion, you name it running in them, in various combinations) on  
both private and work-owned hosts, some of them performing extremely  
critical tasks (think CC payment handling for millions of users).

Wouldn't worry about sendmail ;)
