How to configure osTicket, An Open Source Support Ticket System


Configuring MySQL for osTicket
At first we have to configure  apache, php, mysql support web server, we can follow this link

Now, log in to the MySQL console and create a database for the osTicket.
#mysql -u root -p
This will prompt you for a password, so enter your MySQL root password and hit Enter. Then, Create the database for osTicket and assign proper permission.
mysql> create database osticketdb;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec)
mysql> CREATE USER 'username'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec);
mysql> grant all on osticketdb.* TO 'osticketuser'@'localhost';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Mysql> grant all on osticket.* to username@localhost identified by 'password'    #for existing user
mysql> flush privileges;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql> exit

#wget http://osticket.com/sites/default/files/download/osTicket-v1.9.8.1.zip
