Having trouble logging into RT system

Who is the default user/administrator for the RT system? I think i might have screwed something up when i didn’t initially provide a password for rt_user during the makefile install. And is there any way to fix it by manually adding a new user to the database?

Also, does anyone have a demo of RT up that people can take a look at? I actually want to see if installing this pain in the arse is actually worth it :slight_smile: (looks real nice in the screenshots though)

Unfortunately, that didn’t work… Is there anyway to manually add users? Is the default user rt_user?----- Original Message -----

Who is the default user/administrator for the RT system? I think i might
have screwed something up when i didn’t initially provide a password for
rt_user during the makefile install. And is there any way to fix it by
manually adding a new user to the database?

The ‘rt_user’ is the username that RT presents to your SQL server. If you
did not set a password for rt_user, be sure to have a blank string (‘’) in
config.pm’s mention of ‘$DatabasePassword’.

In RT itself, users and passwords are completely seperate to any other
usernames and passwords that you may have, and also different from SQL
usernames and password. By default, there is one useful user created,
being ‘root’ with a password of ‘password’.

Once you’ve logged into RT using this, you can add other RT users.

Also, does anyone have a demo of RT up that people can take a look at? I
actually want to see if installing this pain in the arse is actually
worth it :slight_smile: (looks real nice in the screenshots though) –

Ooops, i replied to the wrong post:

Unfortunately root/password doesn’t work as a username/password
either :frowning: Know any way to fix this? You’re talking about the RT
login webpage right?

The fact that i can access the RT system via web means that my mysql
database is working correctly right?

Thanks for the help guys, still struggling, but it looks like my
blood, sweat, and tears will be worth it!----- Original Message -----

Use the command line interface to change the password. Yes, that’s what we
talk about (we couldn’t no any other of Your root passwords are ‘password’,
right? Or are they?).

database is working correctly right?

Not necessarily. You could have a look at Your web server’s error log to be
sure.
