I had no idea. I assumed that it could only attempt to setup a new DB. Thank you. That will be a big help. Does the rt40 port make a new MySQL database by the name of rt4? My current data is in a MySQL database named rt3, which is why I ask. How would you recommend getting the migrated data over to the new version? As a side note, it seems that I've put off the Apache 1.3.x to 2.x upgrade for far too long. The rt40 port requires p5-Log-Dispatch which requires some Apache port. Since apache13 was deprecated in November, I'll have to upgrade Apache itself first. I'm thinking that I'll do that today and go with the apache22 port. I'm open to advise on the Apache upgrade if anyone has any. > Hmmm... well, the port doesn't use 'make fixdeps' because it's the ports > job to ensure that all the required dependencies are fulfilled.

RT 4.0.5. Perl 5.8.9. Thanks so much for the help. Its one of the great things about the open source community that I'm not at the mercy of a "help desk" that say things like "OK, why don't you go ahead and reinstall it, then?"
