That was able to work, however at the moment I've run into an issue that I think I had years before namely the inability of the base installation (even with the questions that the system asks during configuration of request-tracker4) failing to give anything but a 404 error when hitting up localhost/rt. I can get the basic apache page under localhost however.
So far the tutorials seem to be tailored for anything other than debian, or a "it worked,no problems" response from most of them. Ideas?
