Bugzilla Quick Start Guide
|
|
==========================
|
|
(or, how to get Bugzilla up and running in 10 steps)
|
|
Christian Reis <kiko@async.com.br>
|
|
|
|
This express installation guide is for "normal" Bugzilla installations,
|
|
which means a Linux or Unix system on which Apache, Perl, MySQL or PostgreSQL
|
|
and a Sendmail compatible MTA are available. For other configurations, please
|
|
see Section 4 of the Bugzilla Guide in the docs/ directory.
|
|
|
|
1. Decide from which URL and directory under your webserver root you
|
|
will be serving the Bugzilla webpages from.
|
|
|
|
2. Unpack distribution into the chosen directory (there is no copying or
|
|
installation involved).
|
|
|
|
3. Run ./checksetup.pl, look for unsolved requirements, install them.
|
|
You can run checksetup as many times as necessary to check if
|
|
everything required is installed.
|
|
|
|
This will usually include assorted Perl modules, MySQL or PostgreSQL,
|
|
and a MTA.
|
|
|
|
After a successful dependency check, checksetup should complain that
|
|
localconfig needs to be edited.
|
|
|
|
4. Edit the localconfig file, in particular the $webservergroup and
|
|
$db_* variables. In particular, $db_name and $db_user will define
|
|
your database setup in step 5.
|
|
|
|
If you want to change platforms, operating systems, severities and
|
|
priorities, this can also be done in localconfig at this time.
|
|
|
|
5. Using the name you provided as $db_name above, create a MySQL database
|
|
for Bugzilla. You should also create a user permission for the name
|
|
supplied as $db_user with read/write access to that database.
|
|
|
|
If you are not familiar with MySQL permissions, it's a good idea to
|
|
use the mysql_setpermission script that is installed with the MySQL
|
|
distribution, and be sure to read Bugzilla Security - MySQL section
|
|
in the Bugzilla Guide or PostgreSQL documentation.
|
|
|
|
6. Run checksetup.pl once more; if all goes well, it should set up the
|
|
Bugzilla database for you. If not, move back to step 5.
|
|
|
|
checksetup.pl should ask you, this time, for the administrator's
|
|
email address and password. These will be used for the initial
|
|
Bugzilla administrator account.
|
|
|
|
7. Configure Apache (or install and configure, if you don't have it up
|
|
yet) to point to the Bugzilla directory. You should enable and
|
|
activate mod_cgi, and add the configuration entries
|
|
|
|
Options +ExecCGI
|
|
AllowOverride Limit
|
|
DirectoryIndex index.cgi
|
|
|
|
to your Bugzilla <Directory> block. You may also need
|
|
|
|
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
|
|
|
|
if you don't have that in your Apache configuration file yet.
|
|
|
|
8. Visit the URL you chose for Bugzilla. Your browser should display the
|
|
default Bugzilla home page. You should then log in as the
|
|
administrator by following the "Log in" link and supplying the
|
|
account information you provided in step 6.
|
|
|
|
9. Scroll to the bottom of the page after logging in, and select
|
|
"parameters". Set up the relevant parameters for your local setup.
|
|
|
|
See section 4.2 of the Bugzilla Guide for a in-depth description of
|
|
some of the configuration parameters available.
|
|
|
|
10. That's it. If anything unexpected comes up:
|
|
|
|
- read the error message carefully,
|
|
- backtrack through the steps above,
|
|
- check the official installation guide, which is section 4 in the
|
|
Bugzilla Guide, included in the docs/ directory in various
|
|
formats.
|
|
|
|
Support and installation questions should be directed to the
|
|
mozilla-webtools@mozilla.org mailing list -- don't write to the
|
|
developer mailing list: your post *will* be ignored if you do.
