Hi Tim

I noticed that option after I wrote the email. I tried it and it indeed created the database but it fails further down the line when it tries to grant access. It's probably more an issue of mysql than RT. Please take a look at the log below and see if you can help solve the problem.

# make initialize-database
/usr/bin/perl //opt/rt3/sbin/rt-setup-database --action init --dba root --prompt-for-dba-password In order to create or update your RT database,this script needs to connect to your mysql instance on rtdb.quicklook.local as root. Please specify that user's database password below. If the user has no database
password, just press return.

Password:

DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Access denied for user 'root'@'rt.idssite.com' to database 'rt3' at //opt/rt3/sbin/rt-setup-database line 345.

TIA

 I have a mysql database server already running on my lan and I want

on setting up the RT database on a remote installation of mysql.

I just installed RT 3.6.1 from source with the DB running on a separate
server. As long as you specify the remote server properly when you do
the ./configure it will work just fine. Do

$ ./configure --help

to get a list of all the available options. I installed on Ubuntu 6.06,
but I followed the directions at
http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?DebianStableInstallGuide
which worked quite well with only minor modifications.
