Hello,
I try to upgrade RT 3.0.12 to RT 4.0.20. It works well until finally I
get to the
make upgrade-database
command which dies. See below. I do these as root user.
-----BEGIN-----

/usr/bin/perl -I/opt/rt4/local/lib -I/opt/rt4/lib sbin/rt-setup-database

In order to create or update your RT database, this script needs to
connect to your mysql instance on localhost (port ‘’) as root
Please specify that user’s database password below. If the user has no
database
password, just press return.
Password: -----HERE I TYPE THE DB ROOT PASSWORD-----
Working with:

Enter RT version you’re upgrading from: 3.0.12 -----UPGRADING FROM THIS-----
Going to apply following upgrades:

Enter RT version if you want to stop upgrade at some point,
or leave it blank if you want apply above upgrades: -----I JUST PRESS

IT’S VERY IMPORTANT TO BACK UP BEFORE THIS STEP

Running this step as the Unix root user should not be necessary.
The error message is interesting, because it suggests that RT is not
attempting to connect to the database as the correct database user.
Do you have two separate database user accounts set up for RT—one for
regular use, and one for database upgrades?
If not, consider running the following command instead:
/usr/bin/perl -I/opt/rt4/local/lib -I/opt/rt4/lib
sbin/rt-setup-database --action
upgrade --prompt-for-dba-password --dba XXX
where XXX is the name of the database user.On 24 July 2014 22:32, “Tamás, Szép” tamas.szep@govcert.hu wrote:

I only have one database user, the default ‘root’ DB user with a password.
The command you suggested results the same error unfortunately.
I do these in a sandbox environment so I can step back to any saved
snapshots and try and try again. The RT4 upgrade process is done except
this final one, the database upgrade.
Any more ideas?

I got this finally! You were right, it really missed the ‘rt_user’ from
MySQL. So I typed:
CREATE USER ‘rt_user’@‘localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY ‘rt_pass’;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON rt4.* TO ‘rt_user’@‘localhost’ IDENTIFIED BY
‘rt_pass’;
and there it goes, the database upgrade ran smoothly.
Thank you Alex for all the help!

command which dies. See below. I do these as root user.

sbin/rt-setup-database

In order to create or update your RT database, this script needs to
connect to your mysql instance on localhost (port ‘’) as root
Please specify that user’s database password below. If the user has
no
database
password, just press return.
Password: -----HERE I TYPE THE DB ROOT PASSWORD-----
Working with:
Type: mysql
Host: localhost
Port:

THIS-----
Going to apply following upgrades:
- 3.1.0
