[rt-users] RT 3.4.2 and Oracle 10g backend

[Steve Zinck]

I'm having troubles getting RT 3.4.2 fully installed with an Oracle 10g 
database. Here's the software I'm using:

RT 3.4.2
SuSE Linux 9
DBD::Oracle 1.1.6
Oracle client 10.1.0.3 <http://10.1.0.3>
Oracle 10g on a remote system

make test-deps checks ok out. The RT software itself installs fine and is 
working with fastcgi; the web site loads without any problems. The problem 
I'm having is with the make initialize-database part. Here are the details:

Create rt user with this command:

create user rt identified by rt default tablespace rt_d1 temporary
tablespace temp;
grant resource, connect, query rewrite to rt;

Then I run make initialize-database:

# make initialize-database
/usr/bin/perl //opt/rt3/sbin/rt-setup-database --action init --dba rt 
--prompt-for-dba-password
In order to create or update your RT database,this script needs to connect 
to your Oracle instance on oracle.site.com <http://oracle.site.com> as rt.
Please specify that user's database password below. If the user has no 
database
password, just press return.

Password:

...skipped as rt is not rt or we're working with Oracle.
Now populating database schema.

Checking for existing system user...not found. This appears to be a new 
installation.

Thoughts? All the tables seem to be created, including the Principals table, 
but there are no rows.
