You can install and -use it without having to pay any license fee. - -Minimum requirements -==================== -It can be installed on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and other Unix flavors. -Bugzilla is written in Perl, meaning that Perl must be installed on your system. -You will also need a web server as well as a DB server (see below). - -Installation & Upgrading -======================== -The documentation to install, upgrade, configure and use Bugzilla can be found -in different formats: -* docs/en/html/Bugzilla-Guide.html (HTML version) -* docs/en/txt/Bugzilla-Guide.txt (text version) -* docs/en/pdf/Bugzilla-Guide.pdf (PDF version) - -If the documentation is missing, you can get it online by visiting -http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/ from where you can select the documentation -corresponding to the Bugzilla version you are installing. - -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 the "Installing Bugzilla" section 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. Create a user permission for the name supplied as $db_user with - read/write access to the database whose name is given by $db_name. - - 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 can choose between - mod_cgi and mod_perl. The Bugzilla documentation has detailed information - for both modes. - -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. Visit the "Parameters" page, as suggested by the page displayed to you. - Set up the relevant parameters for your local setup. - -10. That's it. If anything unexpected comes up: - - - read the error message carefully, - - backtrack through the steps above, - - check the official installation guide. - -Support and installation questions should be directed to the -support-bugzilla@lists.mozilla.org mailing list. - -Further support information is at http://www.bugzilla.org/support/ - - -Fubar is cool |
