          I am on my 4th attempt of the install. The ruby stuff is definitely screwing me up.

            @IRJ I wouldn't have the foggiest either man. That's what learning is though!

              I am getting a little further each time now. Maybe this next install attempt will work 🙂

                The installation guide definitely isn't the best.

                  One thing I noticed with Linux is most guides have you run commands but don't explain what the commands are actually doing very well. I end up looking up every command that is run in a guide and create a definitions list for myself so I can learn the concepts of what I'm actually doing and why. I try to compare guides too and ask questions so I can determine what best practice really means with this stuff.

                        How is the reporting side? there is nothing listed except "google analytics" blasted on every page.

                            The tutorial is definitely outdated and needs to be updated.

                              Do you just want to play with it or run it in a live environment?

                                I want to use it for personal use and have an area to submit tickets on my website.

                                    I've used osTicket before and it works fine, but the interface on Helpy looks nice. I wont be handling hundreds of tickets a week. Maybe 10-15 a month so I am more worried about looks then something that is powerful. So helpy seems like a good solution.

                                      The closest I got was CentOS 6. I went through the whole tutorial. I just had to change the version on passenger in one of the config files they made. I felt prettty confident I did everything right, but nada.

                                        As I said ... "The UI is nice" ... and that's that.

                                          You can easily skin the user-facing portion of osTicket .. If you don't mind putting in the effort, you could even make it look somewhat like Helpy ...
