[rt-users] Oracle Errors

[Shawn Plummer]

I have been trying to install RT the past few days and have run into  
a few issues with it and Oracle. I am installing it on CentOS 4.1,  
and Oracle 10G release1, and RT 3.5.7. The software installed just  
fine but when I run the intialize DB step I get this error.

[root at node86 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 localhost as rt.
Please specify that user's database password below. If the user has  
no database
password, just press return.

Password:
Now creating a database for RT.
...skipped as rt is not rt or we're working with Oracle.
Now populating database schema.
Creating database schema.
Problem with statement:

CREATE SEQUENCE OBJECTCUSTOMFIELDS_seq
ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object (DBD ERROR:  
error possibly near <*> indicator at char 18 in '

CREATE SEQUENCE <*>OBJECTCUSTOMFIELDS_seq') at sbin/rt-setup-database  
line 212.

Looking at the database reveals it has created some entries up to  
this error...

So, I read in the archives this entry http://lists.bestpractical.com/ 
pipermail/rt-users/2005-October/034857.html
. It suggested running the create schema manually which I did. But  
that gives some errors too.

Can I just ignore these errors? are they indicative of some other  
larger issue?

Thanks for any help!
