RT - Installation Notes Part 2

Ok so hopefully you have got to the point where you can go to http://your-rt-site.com and you would be able to login and out and play.

If you cannot, then you've definitely done something wrong. forgetting to set up the databases (rt-setup-database) is common...well at least for me....I mean I forgot it like twice already.

Also please remember to edit those configuration files. Editing the .procmail file shouldn't be too bad...you're just inserting your domain name where it tells you to.


Now the next step is to ... go here and go to number 11. Oh and read this as well


I'm tired.... come back later for PART 3

Come back here for part two :)
