Bugzilla

Bugzilla is server software designed to help you manage software development.

Installation

Configuration

Module dependencies

Perform a module check first:

# cd /srv/http/bugzilla
# ./checksetup.pl --check-modules

Check the output for which modules are required and which are optional. The shell commands to install missing modules will also be shown.

Install all required and optional modules using:

# perl install-module.pl --all

Final module check

What follows is some more configuration to let BugZilla connect to MySQL and create initial tables in it.

Run checksetup.pl again, this time without the –check-modules switch:

# ./checksetup.pl

A file called localconfig is generated if everything is okay. Then, modify some of the file's parameters:

$webservergroup = 'http';
$db_driver = 'DATABASE_TO_USE_HERE';
$db_name = 'DATABASE_NAME_HERE';
$db_user = 'DATABASE_USER_HERE';
$db_pass = 'YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE';

Apache

Finally, configure Apache HTTP Server to run BugZilla using mod_cgi (can also be configured using mod_perl; refer to this for details).

First uncomment the following line in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:

LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so

Then add the following lines to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:

<Directory /srv/http/bugzilla>
  AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
  Options +ExecCGI
  DirectoryIndex index.cgi
  AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Now restart Apache and required modules.

Access http://server_domain_or_ip/bugzilla/ using your web browser.

gollark: It's not like JS programs have control over garbage collection.

gollark: Either GopherAtl or GoofySloof. I forget which.

gollark: Someone's already done that.

gollark: If the mesa is depleted people will just switch to (half as efficient) regular mining. There have been interesting developments in efficient quarrying recently.

gollark: Hahahahanope.
