Completely horked my rt database connection

Following Jesse’s suggestion to run mysqltuner, I didn’t pay close enough attention to what I was doing and ran the script as admin, which didn’t look at my rt database. I removed innoDB, as per it’s recommendation, and now my entire install is horked. I suspect that it re-created my mysql users, which is what’s causing the problem, but I can’t find where RT configures this so I can reset it. Help!

It may have added a line to your my.cnf … usually in /etc/mysql/my.cnf

skip-innodb

You will want to #comment that. There may be other settings but that
will skip the innodb engine and won’t initialize your database.
