Those were the instructions I tried to follow previously, specifically the
ones that refer to installing on Debian, but I seemed to get nowhere on that
front. I think I’m pretty close to getting RT working by using the Debian
package, if I can just resolve this error with “insertdata:”

DBI->connect(dbname=rt;host=localhost) failed: FATAL 1: IDENT
authentication failed for user “www-data” at
/usr/share/perl5/DBIx/SearchBuilder/Handle.pm line 117
Connect Failed FATAL 1: IDENT authentication failed for user “www-data”
at tools/insertdata line 27

Owen, what setup are you now using? Are you still on mysql or are you
pgsql? What version(If I missed this in an earlier mail, sorry)? Does
your user have privileges? Are you sure? If you are still on mysql can I
recommend www.mysql.com/doc/EN? If pg try http://techdocs.postgresql.org.

I am currently trying to get RT working using the request-tracker,
postgresql, and apache packages from Debian. Following the instructions from
the README.Debian file leads me to the error I listed below. Jesse has
suggested that I change PG to use password instead of ident for
authentication, so I changed my pg_hba.conf to show:

local all password sameuser
host all 127.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 password sameuser
host all 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 reject

And then I restarted PG. Now if I try to add or drop a user in PG, it
prompts me for a password, and I have no idea what that should be; I’ve been
using one password across the board on this system, and neither that or null
will work in this prompt. If I run the insertdata script, it gives me this:

DBI->connect(dbname=rt;host=localhost) failed: FATAL 1: Password
authentication failed for user “www-data” at
/usr/share/perl5/DBIx/SearchBuilder/Handle.pm line 117
Connect Failed FATAL 1: Password authentication failed for user “www-data”
at tools/insertdata line 27
