[rt-users] Bugfix: variable interpolation in db password

[Marc Hedlund]

Hi,

I just installed rt-2.0.7 on a RH Linux-7.1 box with MySQL-3.23.42.  I
encountered an error on make install; the attached patch fixes the error.

I had chosen a database password with the character '@' in it.  I received
an error during make install saying that the rt_user password was
invalid.  Looking up the error stack I saw that the '@' character was
causing variable interpolation in config.pm.  The attached patch uses
single quotes instead of double quotes around $DatabasePassword in
config.pm.  After applying the patch install worked without a problem.

Hope this helps.  Thanks,

Marc Hedlund
