Thanks Bill.
So what you are saying is don't make any configuration changes as far as file locations and put everything in the doc root?
Thanks

Can you detail that concern? Not saying it's wrong, I just don't see
anything particularly risky. It's not the way I deploy RT, but I don't
see a clear risk in it...

Zero.
I've been running RT versions since v2 from subdirectories of /opt/
(i.e. the default layout) on various versions of FreeBSD and Linux and
never had a need to point a server-wide document root there. I've not
put a 4.x on CentOS7 instance into production yet, but I have an
extended demo instance of RT4.4rc1 on CentOS7 system running, being
lightly exercised and tweaked for a prospective customer for months now
with no problems related to filesystem location, entirely in /opt/rt4/.
