Install Issue

I am installing RT 3.4.2 on a RHEL4 ES server. Followed the instructions on the wiki

and am having problems with make initialize-database. When prompted for user’s database

password am using root’s password for mysql. Here is what I get:

Now creating a database for RT.

Creating mysql database rt3.

Now populating database schema.

Done setting up database schema.

Now inserting database ACLs

[Thu May 19 19:50:06 2005] [crit]: Connect Failed Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES)

at //opt/rt3/sbin/rt-setup-database line 384

(/opt/rt3/lib/RT.pm:285)

make: *** [initialize-database] Error 255

I have modified the following entries in RT_SiteConfig.pm:

$rtname <fqdn of server>

$DataBaseHost <’’>

$DataBaseRTHost <’’>

$DatabaseUser <root>

$DatabasePassword <my password>

Permissions on RT_SiteCongig.pm are 550 root.rt

Any assistance would be appreciated
