Introduction
In this post I will show how to create a simple approval queue in Request Tracker 3.8.
The General queue will be used as the approval queue.
Here are the different entities (groups) we will create:
- Submitters: they can submit new tickets only to the General Queue.
- Approvers: they can approve tickets (move them from the general queue to another queue)
I will also show how to add a new dashlet ("RT at a glance") containing all the tickets the user created ("My issues").

A very good way to reduce page load time on your website is to tell your visitors' browser it can cache some specific files and save a copy on the disk.
This process is done by your web-server which is sending an Expires header and a max-age header during the HTTP response, e.g.:
200 OK
Cache-Control: max-age=604800
Connection: close

Apache2 offers this feature through its mod_expires module. Note that this module is usually disabled by default, meaning your visitors would download all the files over again each time they change the page.

It has now been a few years (2007) that SNI (Server Name Indication) has been introduced/supported in OpenSSL 0.9.8, but it has only been just last year that SNI was fully supported in Apache2 with version 2.2.12 released in July 2009. Now we can really having
multiple virtual hosts with different certificates on the same IP address! No need to buy any more IP addresses!
