[rt-users] (Newbie) database password question

[Daniel Kleine-Albers]

Hello Ethan,

install phpMyAdmin or use the mysql command line utility to change the 
password for the rt user. (Remember reloading the mysql server)
Then change the password in RT_SiteConfig.pm and restart Apache. If you 
are also new to the mysql stuff, phpmyadmin is usually the more simple 
way.


Hope it helps,
Daniel
