Major Problem installing RT 3.0 beta ( 2.1.75)

What params did you give ./configure? and you should probably grab the last
beta 2-1-87.

Hi Andy! Glad you are on the case. Some day we ought to be more
formally introduced.

[An aside, I notice that installing RT 3.0 beta bones the O/S, at least on
FreeBSD, when it makes everything in /usr/local/etc be in group rt
readable and executable only by owner. On my installation, this broke
printing, etc. I suspect this is a known problem seperate from the
issue I am having. ]

Trying again with beta 2-1-87, my params were:

Congratulations. RT has been installed.

You must now configure RT by editing /usr/local/etc/RT_SiteConfig.pm.

(You will definitely need to set RT’s database password before continuing.
Not doing so could be very dangerous)

After that, you need to initialize RT’s database by running
‘make initialize-database’

[ Here I take a break to try to restore /usr/local/etc ]

Then:

make initialize-database

/usr/bin/perl //usr/local/sbin/rt-setup-database --action init --dba root --prompt-for-dba-password
Can’t locate object method “new” via package “RT::Handle” at //usr/local/sbin/rt-setup-database line 67.
*** Error code 2

Valid values for --with-db-type are “Pg” and “mysql”. Starting with the
next release of RT, you’ll be stopped by configure, rather than getting
the weird-looking error you got… Starting with the next release of RT,

My apologies. I get the point :wink:

If it helps any others in my situation, one thing that kept me from
diagnosing this properly is that my initial RT_SiteConfig.pm had
‘postgres’ as the databasetype. Further installs with the correct
config of ‘Pg’ naturally did not change this value. Also, I found it
confusing that the rt-test-dependencies had “–with-postgres” as a
listed switch value rather than --with-Pg.

fletcher

My apologies. I get the point :wink:

Don’t worry. I’ve seen about a dozen people run into this, hence the
change to the configure script. I’m sorry if it’s caused you confusion.
But thanks for living on the bleeding edge and reporting the bug so that
others will have an easier time later on :slight_smile:
