[rt-users] Problem setting up RT database

[Jessica Reuter]

Thanks Kevin,
I can't click on that link when it pops up (although since I was using a
terminal I didn't realize it was a link to begin with), and using make
initialize-database tells me it can't connect, access denied for user root.
Is there anything else I'm missing?
Thanks!
