Hello,

I am in the process of trying to download RT on the Ubuntu server, and I am using this step by step guide http://askubuntu.com/questions/233087/how-to-install-request-tracker-on-ubuntu-12-04-server. I got up to downloading the second application Mail server, and am having trouble trying to locate and download fetchmail. Anyone know the command line/ where to find it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for looking.

Perhaps post #9 from this thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2065650) might help.

rt is a web-based app and runs in a browser. You need to point your browser to the location where apache is hosting it. The instructions to get it up and running are in that post #9 (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2065650&p=12579347&viewfull=1#post12579347).
