Ok, I have users set up, groups set up (company departments), queues set up… The RT box seems to be sending messages back and forth to our main Exchange box with no trouble at all… The RT web interface itself is only viewable from within our network, but I don’t personally see that as a problem… I JUST got the RT book today and implemented the backups for MySQL (and copying a few .pm files) onto a removable USB drive with no issue, and now scheduled that to run via cron every night at midnight… Are there any other last second gotchas I should beware of before I unleash all of my users onto RT?
And my two cents: This is a great product, and I’m glad I spent the money on the ORA book. Thanks also to everyone on this list who has responded to me so far, I’m really looking forward to putting RT to good use!

Other common things - make sure you have monitoring in place on the
machine, otherwise when you start to run low on space or have a load
spike you’ll have no way to triage what happened.
Hm, thanks for pointing that out Kevin. I had been using:
Mysqldump --opt --add-drop-table --single-transaction -u rt_user -pPassword -h localhost rt4 > rt4-mysql-backup-date %Y%m%d
I see the sense in doing the backup on the page that you linked to, but when I do it that way, I’m getting 'error 1044: Access denied for user ‘rt_user’@‘localhost’ to database ‘rt4’ when doing LOCK TABLES.
So is there something else I’m missing, or might someone have just been active in a session?

The database user RT creates (rt_user by default) isn’t granted the
ability to issue LOCK TABLE commands. Backups should be made by a full
privileged database user, such as “root” by default on MySQL. If you
must use the database user which RT uses, you will need to grant it more
rights.

As Tom notes, we usually run backups as a more privileged user, but if
you want to run as the rt_user because that password is already store
on disk somewhere, you can insert --single-transaction or
–skip-lock-tables in the first part of that command - the
mysqldump rt4 --tables sessions --no-data;
because even though you’re only asking for a schema, MySQL locks.

Am I really the first person to notice that Basics does not include the
full Ticket title, so that when the large label version of it in
the top ticket frame is too long to fit at whatever text size it is,
you have to burrow all the way to the bottom of the comments to see it?
This is a tiny bit worse for me, because (being almost 50 and having a 12"
laptop I tend to run sites in Firefox Zoom Text Only mode, but on this
particular example, it overflows even at standard text size.
Should I RFE this?
