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. - -2. Unpack the distribution into the chosen directory (there is no copying or - installation involved). - -3. Run ./checksetup.pl, look for unsolved requirements, and install them. - You can run checksetup as many times as necessary to check if - everything required has been installed. - - These 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. - -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, return 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. - -Further support information is at http://www.bugzilla.org/support/ |
