My apologies for a silly post but I’m getting confused…
I am migrating from 3.8.4 to 4.01. I have a new server with 4.01 installed
and mostly set up how I want. I have pulled my database dumps into the new
instance, performed the steps in UPGRADING.mysql and run the script
/opt/rt4/sbin/rt-setup-database --prompt-for-dba-password --action upgrade
I’ve missed something and I’m sure I saw it when reading the docs but now
can’t figure out what I missed. After tweaking my set up I’ve tried
restoring from last nights 3.8.4 instance mysqldump and I have to manually
set the passwords in MySQL to log in as the RT user. For example:*
UPDATE Users SET Password=md5(‘password’) WHERE Name=‘user’;*
This lets the user log in - but only once, after a logout the user cannot
again log in. I believe there was a change in the hash used for passwords
and that there is a script I need to run to fix this but I cannot for the
life of me find this again.
Am I on the right track and what can I tell you to help figure out what I
missed?
Please and thanks.

It appears you didn’t successfully complete the
/opt/rt4/sbin/rt-setup-database --prompt-for-dba-password --action upgrade
step, since it will change the size of your Users.Password field (among lots
of other changes). There is also a script to rehash your user
passwords which was included in our security updates and is documented
in docs/UPGRADING-3.8, but this bug is more likely to be related to an
incomplete database upgrade.

Thaks Kevin,
I missed that in the output. Most of it seems OK up until the part where it

This implies that you have a partially upgraded database, since this
column is deleted in 3.9.3
Are you sure you’re starting from a fully-clean restore of your 3.8.4
dump? You want to ensure that no existing tables are in your DB.
-kevin
no - actually I’m not. I guess I have to change my plan.
I had thought to import the data - spend some time setting up 4.01 as I
wanted then update the DB by running the import again. I guess this is not
such a good idea. I’m thinking then that I’ll have to make careful note of
the set up changes and do it all in one ‘fell swoop’…
Unless there is a way to update my imported and ‘patched’ 4.01 DB with a
3.8.4 dump just to get the most recent changes.
Does what I’m trying to do make sense?
Thanks for the excellent help thus far btw.

I’m curious how you were going to ‘run the import again’ to pick up
the 3.8.4 data, especially considering the numerous schema changes.
Unless there is a way to update my imported and ‘patched’ 4.01 DB with a 3.8.4 dump just to
get the most recent changes.
Does what I’m trying to do make sense?
You can’t just somehow apply the new data in your 3.8.4 database to
your 4.0.1 database and rerun part of the upgrader.
You’ll need to document your upgrade process and run it in one
process.
-kevin
aaah - well then that’s what I must do. Thanks for the help. I’ll let you
know how that goes.
