[rt-users] Applying configuration changes?

[Jim Brandt]

Restarting the server should reload the configuration. To confirm what 
configuration RT has loaded, you can check the System Configuration page 
at Admin > Tools > System Configuration. There you can check 
DatabaseType, DatabaseHost, and other Database configuration. If it's 
not what you expect, it could be RT is loading some configuration from 
some other location. You can see the config files in the "Loaded config 
files" section on that same page.

You set these in RT_Config.pm by selecting different options when 
running the initial configure script. After that, you can override in 
RT_SiteConfig.pm.
