Yes don't let QT3 scare you. I have some Ubuntu 16.04 scripts here but they should work for Debian.

OK that kind of makes sense.  Kill/stop the rivendell services (caed,

Done

You might have to flush privileges too.  Then just load rdadmin and it
will create the DB for you.  If the database/user already exists
(partially or otherwise) then it can get into a situation where it won't
run as the schema is incorrect.
Flushed

I've never had to use a DB create script unless Riv (there are some old
files from aeons ago I think, when riv was still a v1 release but you
shouldn't be using these).  There was talk of doing something like this
a few weeks/months ago.  I don't think it is complete yet but if you are
building from source downloading the 2.15.1 release rather than cloning
the git repo is the way to go.
The issue with downloading 2.15.1 is Qt3 as this is unavailable in
Debian 8 or unstable. So I need to compile from github master, which has
Qt4 support. However the master branch seems to have removed the
functionality of creating the DB if it is not present.
Basically, drop the db/user and run rdadmin from the terminal and we
should be able to figure out what is going on from there (there is a
slim chance user creation is failing but this was patched in 2.15.1).
The result is the same - Couldn't open MySQL connection on "localhost"
when running rdadmin. Unfortunately there is no more detail then that.

Thanks
Kyle
