No virtual host + initial password not working

RT Users
1

I don’t want to use virtual hosts. With passwords flying, I’m using
https for RT.

The rt.conf in /etc/httpd/conf.d is below.

The initial root password appears to be defined in /etc/rt/initialdata
It isn’t being picked up.

I am guessing that the file /etc/rt/initialdata is not being read.
However, when I grep every file I can find, I cannot find a reference to
initialdata. How does it get included?

CentOS 5 install from RPM.

Thanks,

Dale

Alias /rt3 “/usr/share/rt3/html”

PerlRequire /usr/sbin/webmux.pl

<Directory “/usr/share/rt3/html”>

AllowOverride All

Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine On

RedirectMatch permanent (.*)/$ $1/index.html

AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

SetHandler perl-script

PerlHandler RT::Mason

</Directory>

The mysql database is initally populated with

/usr/sbin/rt-setup-database init --action init --dba root
–dba-password <password>

It werkz!
