Sorry to keep bugging this list,

can anyone tell me why I can't set the password in MySQL with the UPDATE statement below? I have upgraded from 3.8.4 to 4.0.14 and run the password updater. MySQL was at 5.1 so I didn't need to do the MySQL update stuff as far as my reading shows.

Is there something wrong with my query or is there something that RT is doing such that the passwords are perhaps hashed differently?

I'd so love to get past this final hurdle and be able to make tickets again...

Is there perhaps some further info that I should supply that I have not to help understand this?

Regards

Thanks for that Kevin,

not the first time - a silly little mistake had me scratching my head. I had in my Apache config a rewrite rule for /rt and had the wrong value in RT_Siteconfig for Set($WebPath, '');

So I now get my logon screen but cannot log in.

I did run the password updater:

    root@rt4:/opt/rt4# perl /opt/rt4/etc/upgrade/vulnerable-passwords
    --fix
    Upgrading 16 users...
    Done.

I am assuming that I can't just UPDATE the passwords in MySQL because of the hashing? I tried without success:

    mysql> UPDATE rtdb.Users SET Password=PASSWORD('xxxx') WHERE
    Name='jamie';
    Query OK, 1 row affected, 1 warning (0.01 sec)
    Rows matched: 1  Changed: 1  Warnings: 1

I guess I have missed something in these upgrade README files. I do appreciate your help. Now that I've the Apache thing sorted I'm feeling like on the home stretch - if only I can sort these passwords out. Is there another related script I missed perhaps?
