No user found with login 'root@localhost'!

This looks very much like the problem that occurs during login, the value for Valid has not yet been set. I think this is a nasty bug.
How can I work around this, or is a fix already present?

BTW: in this case the database is Oracle but I think this is a more common error. I also saw this in MSSQL (In the German part)

thanks,
Ronald.

I finally got this working. did a fresh clone from github
git clone https://github.com/OTRS/otrs
adjusted Kernel/Modules/Installer.pm and Kernel/config.pm for the database connection (in my case Oracle)
added an export LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /etc/init.d/httpd and /etc/init.d/otrs
manually executed the stepd listed in scripts/rhel6-otrs.spec
removed the objects from the otrs schema in the database
ran the web installer et voila, I was able to connect.

I think the steps in the rhel6-otrs.spec are important.
I am happy now.
