Re: [rt-users] Database relocated onto alternate server

2009-04-14 Thread Keith A McDermott
More Info:

I can successfully connect through mysql command line tools, php test 
script and through a test perl script with the default apache2 config.  
This all leads me to it being something with RT's setup specifically.  
Once I switch back to the RT apache config RT fails to connect to the 
db.  This is when trying to connect from perl 5.8.8, apache2.2.3.  The 
local database was 5.0.32 which worked fine whereas the remote database 
is 4.0.24 which does meet the minimum required version in the docs.

Any other ideas I can try?

Thanks,
Keith

 Yes - I can connect fine through the standard mysql tools from the same
 host without issue however, I was trying rt_user previously.  It
 actually does fail when connecting with rt_u...@hostname.  As I
 manually moved the database over, manually create the user and manually
 granted the rights (I don't want to run make initialize-database against
 our very stable and department-wide mysql server), I'll look through and
 see what else I need to do.

 Hi there,

 I'm moving forward with my testing of RT 3.8.2.

 Setup:
 Virtual machine (Virtualbox) running RT3.8.2 in Debian Etch.  
 Web port
 is forwarded to the virtual machine through the host but otherwise
 there
 is no access to the VM.  I moved the database onto a production
 database
 server.

 RT_SiteConfig.pm has been altered to say:
 $DatabaseHost is set to dbproductionserver
 $DatabaseRTHost is set to the hostname of the vm host machine

 Problem:
 In the apache error logs, I get:
 DBI connect('dbname=rt;host=dbproductionhost','rt_user',...) 
 failed:
 Access denied for user: 'rt_u...@hostmachinehostname' (Using 
 password:
 YES) at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/DBIx/SearchBuilder/Handle.pm

 'rt_u...@hostmachinehostname'
 (Using password: YES)\n at /opt/rt3/bin/../lib/RT.pm line 204\n

 And I get a 500 server error page returned to me.  However, I 
 can use
 the mysql command line tools from the virtual machine and connect
 just fine.

 Is there possibly a port that's being expected to be open that i
 need to
 forward or something else that I'm missing?  This seemed like a 
 pretty
 straightforward change in the beginning...


 It should be straighforward just as you say.
 Have you tested manually connecting to the DB like:

 mysql -h dbproductionserver -urt_u...@hostmachinehostname -pSec3t rt

 ?? Did it work?

 If not, then go to the dbproductionserver and give the necessary
 privileges for rt_user to connect:

 mysql GRANT ALL ON rt.* TO rt_u...@hostmachinehostname IDENTIFIED BY
 Sec3t;
 mysql flush privileges;

Re: [rt-users] Database relocated onto alternate server

2009-04-14 Thread Keith A McDermott
Ignore.  Someone showed me how to turn on DBI_Trace (which I'm liking 
quite a bit) and, I will admit, I found a subtle password mis-type I've 
missed for the past few weeks of tinkering.  Fix that, revert a few code 
changes and voila - RT works.

Thanks for the help,
Keith
