Hi everyone, we’re trying to install this onto a RHEL5 server and all seemed to have gone well but otrs doesn’t start with the following messages. I don’t see any other setup tasks involving the database but it is definitely running, I can log into it just fine. I do not know however the otrs user password for MySql. Maybe I don’t even need to know it, who knows…. This looks like it would be a common problem so I thought I’d ask the list for help. Thank you!

Steve

  May your database isn't configured yet?

 

 Try the web installer to configure your database:

 

     -->> http://ftp.helicosbio.com/otrs/installer.pl <<--

 

 or configure your database with README.database (DB - Setup Example)

[root@ftp ~]#
