How to setup bugzilla
From ThorstensHome
This article describes how to set up bugzilla on SUSE 9.2 with apache2.
- have the following packages installed:
- perl-AppConfig
- perl-CGI-Application
- perl-DateManip
- perl-Template-Toolkit
- perl-TimeDate
- perl-GD
- perl-GDGraph
- perl-GDTextUtil
- perl-XML-Parser
- Download the latest bugzilla from http://www.bugzilla.org/, this tutorial assumes it is version 2.18rc2.
- install it
- Configure mysql like this. This tutorial assumes the password P3 (not shown).
- priviledge the bugzilla-mysql-user like this:
- install perl-modules online:
- The program presents you a "cpan shell". Do the following:
- Still in the cpan-shell, do install PatchReader and install Chart::Base and exit
- change localconfig, replace $webservergroup="apache" by $webservergroup="www" and $db_pass= by $db_pass='P6'
- Let the software check itself:
- move the bugzilla-folder to /srv/www/htdocs/bugzilla
- enable your webserver to execute from that folder:
- in /etc/apache2/httpd.conf" have the line "DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.html.var index.cgi". Within <Directory /> and </ Directory>, outcomment Options None and set AllowOverride All.
- in /etc/apache2/default-server.conf, have "AllowOverride All", outcomment "Options None". Place the following line directly after DocumentRoot: "AddHandler cgi-script .cgi".
- /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
- try it out: http://127.0.0.1/bugzilla
- Configuration steps:
- log in
- click onto Parameters
- set Maintainer, urlbase (e.g. www.mysite.de/bugzilla), createemailregexp, requirelogin.
- click onto submit
- make your bugzilla writing statistics:
- /etc/init.d/cron restart
- Issue cd /srv/www/htdocs/bugzilla/ && ./collectstats.pl && echo success. Expected result: The command outputs "success".
- You may want to configure your sendmail:
- sendmail -t me@home.de
- mailq
- postqueue -f
- cat /etc/postfix/main.cf|grep recipient_restriction
- have your own name in /etc/postfix/main.cf, then it looks like
tar xvfz bugzilla-2.18rc2.tar.gz cd bugzilla-2.18rc2 ./checksetup.pl

NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MySQL
SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE! PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!
In order to log into MySQL to secure it, we'll need the current
password for the root user. If you've just installed MySQL, and
you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank,
so you should just press enter here.
Enter current password for root (enter for none):
OK, successfully used password, moving on...
Setting the root password ensures that nobody can log into the MySQL
root user without the proper authorisation.
Set root password? [Y/n] Y
New password:
Re-enter new password:
Password updated successfully!
Reloading privilege tables..
... Success!
By default, a MySQL installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone
to log into MySQL without having to have a user account created for
them. This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation
go a bit smoother. You should remove them before moving into a
production environment.
Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] Y
... Success!
Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'. This
ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.
Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] Y
... Success!
By default, MySQL comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can
access. This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed
before moving into a production environment.
Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] Y
- Dropping test database...
... Success!
- Removing privileges on test database...
... Success!
Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far
will take effect immediately.
Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] Y
... Success!
Cleaning up...
All done! If you've completed all of the above steps, your MySQL
installation should now be secure.
Thanks for using MySQL!

./checksetup.pl Looks like we don't have an administrator set up yet. Either this is your first time using Bugzilla, or your administrator's privileges might have accidently been deleted. Enter the e-mail address of the administrator: me@home.de You entered 'me@home.de'. Is this correct?
