I beg to differ. The following is taken straight from the page I linked for you. It basicallysays to setup mysql, restart the server, then run the rt-setup-database tool with the paramaters provided.<br><br>Please read it again!
<br><br>Andrew<br><br>---<br><br><p>
RT provides a script called <strong><tt>rt-setup-database</tt></strong> which creates the initial database for you. Please note that <strong><tt>rt-setup-database</tt></strong> does NOT create a database <strong>user</strong>
for you. If you have not already created a database user for RT, please consult the appropriate documentation, such as <a href="http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?ConfigureMysqlOnGentoo">ConfigureMysqlOnGentoo</a>.
</p>
<ul><li>For MySQL:</li></ul>
<p>
Note: If you did not previously have mysql installed, you will need to <a href="http://wiki.bestpractical.com/index.cgi?ConfigureMysqlOnGentoo">ConfigureMysqlOnGentoo</a>.
</p>
<p>
Verify that the <tt>skip-innodb</tt> is commented out in <tt>/etc/mysql/my.cnf</tt>. If it is not, then put an octothorpe in front of it:
</p>
<pre class="formatter_pre">.<br>.<br>[mysqld]<br>#skip-innodb<br>user = mysql<br>.<br>.<br></pre>
<p>
and restart the <tt>mysql</tt> server:
</p>
<pre class="formatter_pre">/etc/init.d/mysql restart<br></pre>
<p>
Then set up the database:
</p>
<pre class="formatter_pre">/var/www/myrt/rt-3.6.0/sbin/rt-setup-database --action init --dba root --prompt-for-dba-password<br></pre><br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 9/23/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">bijayant kumar

<br> Thanks for your support. But, i am really sorry to say that there is nothing given about the database setup in gentoo guide. When i have installed RT than it says that database setup will be done automatically, but it didnt happened. Now i will try to install RT from the source. Meanwhile if you want to give me any other idea regarding this, than i will be very thankful to you for thr same

are right, i didnot initialize the database. But when i populate the database manually, and then login it gives me the same error. After checking, i found a file named initialdata. but when i tried to use this it gives me an error, or i donot know how should i use this file to populate the database. If you dont mind can you tell me how to do this. I am using gentoo-linux. I am really screwed up. Thanks in advance.
