OTRS Web Installer

Post by mdemicoli »

Dear all,

I'm planning to install OTRS 3.3.13 on Windows Server 2012 R2, now i know that this is an old version however I need this to be installed in a Windows environment and this is the only option available so far.

Now before actually installing the system on the server I tested the installer on a Windows 7 machine, the following tasks were performed;
Installation of Active Pearl 5.16
Installation of OTRS 3.3.13

The installation completes successfully, however the first time you open the installer its stops on Create Database; it says that database is already created. I tried to login into OTRS itself and it allows you to with the default credentials root@localhost/root. Can I just start configuring the system from sysconfig? And if the otrs database was created during the installation, what are the credentials?

If I want to reset OTRS and start from scratch using the wizard how do i do so? How can I delete the otrs database itself?

Thanks in advance for your time and looking forward to your feedback!

Regards,
Mike

Don't Start with old and unsupported Software. If you can not support a Linux based Environment use the cloud instead
"Production": OTRS™ 8, OTRS™ 7, STORM powered by OTRS
"Testing": ((OTRS Community Edition)) and git Master

Thanks for your feedback, but at the moment I have no other option, not to mention that I'm not a linux guru yet :-) so it will be harder for me to troubleshoot. Why the Windows version has been dropped?

In the meantime I managed to solve the problem and will post the solution here in case anyone needs this.

Installed MySQL Workbench
Deleted OTRS database
Run web installer and worked fine

Thanks for the time taken into reviewing my request.

Regards,
Mike
