[rt-users] Migration Prep

[Paul O'Rorke]

Thanks Kevin,

I'm going through that right now.  I must admit I'm a little confused by 
the whole LifeCycle thing.  I'm going through 
http://bestpractical.com/docs/rt/4.0/customizing/lifecycles.html now to 
see if I can swing this.

In the meanwhile I am finding that after running *make upgrade-database* 
(took me through all the upgrades from 3.8.4 to 4.0.15) and then trying 
to set up Apache again I'm running into a loop on the login page.  If I 
run Apache I don't get a login page at all.  If I stop Apache and start

/opt/rt4/sbin/rt-server

then I get:

I'm assuming I've not actually managed to get my database upgraded 
properly as I'm very confident of the credentials used (tried others as 
well that worked in 3.8.4).  After running *make upgrade-database* do I 
still need to do the individual upgrades in each of the README files for 
the various updates or does *make upgrade-database* effectively do the same?

Thanks
