RT 3.0.0rc4

RT 3.0.0rc4 is now available. It contains a partial fix for the
new/open/new issue, as well as all the postgres fixes we’ve discussed.
For both postgres and mysql, there have been small but important
schema changes. the “full” release notes for this release candidate
(Friday morning) will include instructions as to how to do this, if you
can’t handle it on your own.

RT 3.0 RC4 Release notes

There are several minor isses with RC4 that will be slipstreamed in
before 3.0.0, but otherwise, I believe we’re basically there.

    As is often the case, several schema issues popped up at the last minute. Below are instructions for bringing an existing database up to date.


    Mysql:

    New column added

    mysql rt3 -e 'alter table sessions add column LastUpdated timestamp'


    Postgres:

    Several unavoidable changes have been made to RT's postgres database
    schema. 

    You'll need to issue the following commands to postgres in order
    to bring your schema up to date:

    ALTER TABLE Attachments RENAME COLUMN Content to OldContent;
    ALTER TABLE Attachments ADD COLUMN Content text NULL;
    UPDATE Attachments SET Content = OldContent;
    ALTER TABLE Attachments RENAME COLUMN Headers to OldHeaders;
    ALTER TABLE Attachments ADD COLUMN Headers text NULL;
    UPDATE Attachments SET Headers = OldHeaders;
    ALTER TABLE sessions ADD COLUMN LastUpdated TIMESTAMP not null default current_timestamp;

    (The following two commands will only work on Postgres 7.3)

    ALTER TABLE Attachments DROP Column OldContent;
    ALTER TABLE Attachments DROP Column OldHeaders;

I’m just curious about the line:

    ALTER TABLE sessions ADD COLUMN LastUpdated TIMESTAMP not null

default
current_timestamp;

It doesn’t work in postgres 7.3.2 so I’m just wondering how important it is?

Just another FYI, when doing the dump import into either postgres 7.2.4 or
7.3.2, I get errors like the following when doing the user import:

ERROR: pg_atoi: error in “ajharrison@gwi.net”: can’t parse “ajharrison@gwi.net

Can you give us some more context on these errors? There’s no way I can
debug this stuff without debugging information like what it was trying
to import at the time, what table it failed to import into, what SQL
query failed, etc…On Mon, Mar 24, 2003 at 02:06:26PM -0500, Andy Harrison wrote:

Ok, well, I did a new dump from the production rt server. I’m not sure what
version of rt2 it’s running:

% head rt2/bin/rt
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

$Header: /raid/cvsroot/rt/bin/rt,v 1.8 2002/03/01 06:39:03 jesse Exp $# RT is (c) 1996-2001 Jesse Vincent jesse@bestpractical.com

It appears to be running postgres 7.1.2.

It created the dump without incident. I pulled that dump over to my machine
and imported it. I had previously been experimenting with pg7.2.4 and wanted
to get rt3rc4 working in pg7.3.2 so I got 7.3.2 back up and running. I redid my
configure, make install, make dropdb, make initialize-database and started the
dump. When the import was complete, I started having problems immediately when
trying to connect to the webserver in my browser. The httpd error log showed:

FATAL 1: This connection has been terminated by the administrator.
[Mon Mar 24 13:45:45 2003] [error] Connect Failed could not connect to server:
Connection refused
at /opt/rt3/lib/RT.pm line 123

I then looked at the postgres log and noticed all the atoi errors. I wasn’t
sure if this had been doing this in pg7.2.4 so I fired that back up and tried
with that and noticed the same atoi errors, but I was able to access webrt from
my browser without any problems.

The only errors shown in the postgres log are the atoi errors when it tries to
import each user. Note that the user is imported and I can see it when I look
(i’m just being lazy and using phpPgAdmin).

Not sure what more information you need, let me know and I’ll provide it.
