Hi, I am trying to install RT 3.8.1 with Postgresql 8.1.9 for the database.
I configured RT with ./configure --with-db-type=Pg --with-db-dba=postgres then did a 'make testdeps' which returned that all was OK. Next, I did a 'make install', again all seemingly OK. However, at the step 'make initialize-database' I get the following error: [EMAIL PROTECTED] rt-3.8.1]# make initialize-database /usr/bin/perl sbin/rt-setup-database --action init --dba postgres --prompt-for-dba-password In order to create or update your RT database, this script needs to connect to your Pg instance on localhost as postgres Please specify that user's database password below. If the user has no database password, just press return. Password: Working with: Type: Pg Host: localhost Name: rt3 User: rt_user DBA: postgres Failed to connect to dbi:Pg:dbname=template1;host=localhost as user 'postgres': FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "postgres"make: *** [initialize-database] Error 255 If I go into Postgresql and have the postgres user info shown, there appears to be no password set for this user, yet it seems that the authentication fails for an empty password. I don't know the postgres user password, if there is one set. I could reset it but there are other applications running on this server that use Postgresql and the user postgres, so I don't want to blow them away. I have searched the mailing list archives for answers and while I can see that other people have had problems with RT and Postgresql, I have not found an answer to my problem yet. I have also gone through the RT book, but didn't find the solution in there either. Any ideas? Thx.
