Finalizing the installation =========================== 1. Install and start a mysql server: # urpmi mysql && /sbin/service mysqld start 2. Set up the mysql server. If not already done, at minimum, you will want to set up a mysql root password: # mysqladmin -u root password <mysql-root-password> 3. Edit /etc/rt/RT_SiteConfig.pm to meet your demands. Consult 'perldoc /etc/rt/RT_Config.pm' (Never modify RT_Config.pm, or retain it when upgrading) 4. Initialize rt's mysql database: # /usr/sbin/rt-setup-database --action init \ --dba-password <mysql-root-password> 5. Start/reload apache/httpd: # /sbin/service httpd start or: # /sbin/service httpd reload 6. Try to log in: At this point, you should be able to login into rt on your rt-host via its web interface as (RT user) root, at http://<rt-host>/rt You should be greeted with a login window. Login with Username: root, Password: password. The next step should be to change your rt's "root" account's password, otherwise anybody with web access to your site will be able to abuse your site. Afterwards, you should be ready to create user accounts, configure the mail-interface etc.
