You appear to have skipped over the rest of that message:

    RT couldn't connect to the database where tickets are stored.
    If this is a new installation of RT, you should visit the URL below
    to configure RT and initialize your database.

Look at the end of it, you'll see something like:

    HTTP::Server::PSGI: Accepting connections at http://0:8084/

which you can click on.

Of course, the easier way to get your database set up is simply to
follow the manual portion of 6a in the readme and type
make initialize-database to set up your database.
