-1.1.1. GNU Free Documentation License
-
- Version 1.1, March 2000
-
- Copyright (C) 2000 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 59 Temple Place,
- Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA Everyone is permitted to copy
- and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but
- changing it is not allowed.
- _________________________________________________________________
-
-0. PREAMBLE
-
- The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
- written document "free" in the sense of freedom: to assure everyone
- the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without
- modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially. Secondarily,
- this License preserves for the author and publisher a way to get
- credit for their work, while not being considered responsible for
- modifications made by others.
-
- This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
- works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It
- complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
- license designed for free software.
-
- We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
- software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
- program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
- software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it
- can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
- whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License
- principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
- _________________________________________________________________
-
-1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
-
- This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a
- notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed
- under the terms of this License. The "Document", below, refers to any
- such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is
- addressed as "you".
-
- A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
- Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
- modifications and/or translated into another language.
-
- A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of
- the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
- publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall
- subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall
- directly within that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is
- in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain
- any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
- connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
- commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
- them.
-
- The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
- are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
- that says that the Document is released under this License.
-
- The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed,
- as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
- the Document is released under this License.
-
- A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
- represented in a format whose specification is available to the
- general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and
- straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
- pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
- drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
- for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
- to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
- format whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage
- subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is
- not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
-
- Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
- ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML
- or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple
- HTML designed for human modification. Opaque formats include
- PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that can be read and edited only
- by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or
- processing tools are not generally available, and the
- machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for output
- purposes only.
-
- The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
- plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
- this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
- formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means
- the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
- preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
- _________________________________________________________________
-
-2. VERBATIM COPYING
-
- You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
- commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
- copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
- to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no
- other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
- technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
- copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
- compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
- number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
-
- You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
- you may publicly display copies.
- _________________________________________________________________
-
-3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
-
- If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100,
- and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must
- enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all
- these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and
- Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and
- legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover
- must present the full title with all words of the title equally
- prominent and visible. You may add other material on the covers in
- addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they
- preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can
- be treated as verbatim copying in other respects.
-
- If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
- legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
- reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
- pages.
-
- If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
- more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
- copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
- a publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete
- Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which the
- general network-using public has access to download anonymously at no
- charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the latter
- option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin
- distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this
- Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location
- until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque
- copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to
- the public.
-
- It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
- Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to
- give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the
- Document.
- _________________________________________________________________
-
-4. MODIFICATIONS
-
- You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
- the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
- the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
- Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
- and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
- of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
-
- A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
- from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
- (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
- of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version
- if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
- B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or
- entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the
- Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal
- authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has
- less than five).
- C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified
- Version, as the publisher.
- D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
- E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
- adjacent to the other copyright notices.
- F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
- giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
- terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
- G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant
- Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license
- notice.
- H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
- I. Preserve the section entitled "History", and its title, and add to
- it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
- publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
- there is no section entitled "History" in the Document, create one
- stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
- given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
- Version as stated in the previous sentence.
- J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
- public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
- the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
- it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. You
- may omit a network location for a work that was published at least
- four years before the Document itself, or if the original
- publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
- K. In any section entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
- preserve the section's title, and preserve in the section all the
- substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements
- and/or dedications given therein.
- L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in
- their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent
- are not considered part of the section titles.
- M. Delete any section entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may not
- be included in the Modified Version.
- N. Do not retitle any existing section as "Endorsements" or to
- conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
-
- If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
- appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
- copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
- of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
- list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
- These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
-
- You may add a section entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
- nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
- parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
- been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
- standard.
-
- You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
- passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
- of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
- Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
- through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
- includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
- by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
- you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
- permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
-
- The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
- give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
- imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
- _________________________________________________________________
-
-5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
-
- You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
- License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
- versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
- Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
- list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
- license notice.
-
- The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
- multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
- copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
- different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
- adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
- author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
- Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
- Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
-
- In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled "History"
- in the various original documents, forming one section entitled
- "History"; likewise combine any sections entitled "Acknowledgements",
- and any sections entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections
- entitled "Endorsements."
- _________________________________________________________________
-
-6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
-
- You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other
- documents released under this License, and replace the individual
- copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy
- that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules
- of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all
- other respects.
-
- You may extract a single document from such a collection, and
- distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a
- copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this
- License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that
- document.
- _________________________________________________________________
-
-7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
-
- A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
- and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
- distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a Modified Version
- of the Document, provided no compilation copyright is claimed for the
- compilation. Such a compilation is called an "aggregate", and this
- License does not apply to the other self-contained works thus compiled
- with the Document, on account of their being thus compiled, if they
- are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
-
- If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
- copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one quarter
- of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
- covers that surround only the Document within the aggregate. Otherwise
- they must appear on covers around the whole aggregate.
- _________________________________________________________________
-
-8. TRANSLATION
-
- Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
- distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
- Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
- permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
- translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
- original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
- translation of this License provided that you also include the
- original English version of this License. In case of a disagreement
- between the translation and the original English version of this
- License, the original English version will prevail.
- _________________________________________________________________
-
-9. TERMINATION
-
- You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document
- except as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt
- to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and
- will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
- parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
- License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
- parties remain in full compliance.
- _________________________________________________________________
-
-10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
-
- The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the
- GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions
- will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in
- detail to address new problems or concerns. See
- http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/ .
-
- Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
- If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this
- License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of
- following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or
- of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the
- Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version
- number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not
- as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.
- _________________________________________________________________
-
-How to use this License for your documents
-
- To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
- the License in the document and put the following copyright and
- license notices just after the title page:
-
- Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME. Permission is granted to copy,
- distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU
- Free Documentation License, Version 1.1 or any later version
- published by the Free Software Foundation; with the Invariant
- Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the Front-Cover Texts being
- LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST. A copy of the
- license is included in the section entitled "GNU Free Documentation
- License".
-
- If you have no Invariant Sections, write "with no Invariant Sections"
- instead of saying which ones are invariant. If you have no Front-Cover
- Texts, write "no Front-Cover Texts" instead of "Front-Cover Texts
- being LIST"; likewise for Back-Cover Texts.
-
- If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
- recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of
- free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to
- permit their use in free software.

- This section covers installation on Microsoft Windows. Bugzilla has
- been made to work on Win32 platforms, but the Bugzilla team wish to
- emphasise that The easiest way to install Bugzilla on
- Intel-archiecture machines is to install some variant of GNU/Linux,
- then follow the UNIX installation instructions in this Guide. If you
- have any influence in the platform choice for running this system,
- please choose GNU/Linux instead of Microsoft Windows.
+ Many aspects of the Bugzilla installation can be affected by the the
+ operating system you choose to install it on. Sometimes it can be made
+ easier and others more difficult. This section will attempt to help
+ you understand both the difficulties of running on specific operating
+ systems and the utilities available to make it easier.
- Warning
-
- After that warning, here's the situation for 2.16 and Windows. It
- doesn't work at all out of the box. You are almost certainly better
- off getting the 2.17 version from CVS (after consultation with the
- Bugzilla Team to make sure you are pulling on a stable day) because
- we'll be doing a load of work to make the Win32 experience more
- pleasant than it is now.
-
- If you still want to try this, to have any hope of getting it to work,
- you'll need to apply the mail patch from bug 124174. After that,
- you'll need to read the (outdated) installation instructions below,
- some (probably a lot better) more recent ones kindly provided by Toms
- Baugis and Jean-Sebastien Guay, and also check the Bugzilla 2.16 Win32
- update page . If we get time, we'll write some better installation
- instructions for 2.16 and put them up there. But no promises.

-4.3.1. Win32 Installation: Step-by-step
-
- Note
-
- You should be familiar with, and cross-reference, the rest of the
- Bugzilla Installation section while performing your Win32
- installation.
-
- Making Bugzilla work on Microsoft Windows is no picnic. Support for
- Win32 has improved dramatically in the last few releases, but, if you
- choose to proceed, you should be a very skilled Windows Systems
- Administrator with strong troubleshooting abilities, a high tolerance
- for pain, and moderate perl skills. Bugzilla on NT requires hacking
- source code and implementing some advanced utilities. What follows is
- the recommended installation procedure for Win32; additional
- suggestions are provided in Appendix A .
- 1. Install Apache Web Server for Windows, and copy the Bugzilla files
- somewhere Apache can serve them. Please follow all the
- instructions referenced in Bugzilla Installation regarding your
- Apache configuration, particularly instructions regarding the
- "AddHandler" parameter and "ExecCGI" .
-
- Note
-
- You may also use Internet Information Server or Personal Web Server
- for this purpose. However, setup is quite different. If ActivePerl
- doesn't seem to handle your file associations correctly (for .cgi and
- .pl files), please consult Appendix A .
- If you are going to use IIS, if on Windows NT you must be updated to
- at least Service Pack 4. Windows 2000 ships with a sufficient version
- of IIS.
- 2. Install ActivePerl for Windows. Check
- http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Downloads/ActivePerl for a
- current compiled binary.
- Please also check the following links to fully understand the
- status of ActivePerl on Win32: Perl Porting , and Perl on Win32
- FAQ
- 3. Use ppm from your perl\bin directory to install the following
- packs: DBI, DBD-Mysql, TimeDate, Chart, Date-Calc, Date-Manip, GD,
- AppConfig, and Template. You may need to extract them from .zip
- format using Winzip or other unzip program first. Most of these
- additional ppm modules can be downloaded from ActiveState, but
- AppConfig and Template should be obtained from OpenInteract using
- the instructions on the Template Toolkit web site .
-
- Note
-
- You can find a list of modules at
- http://www.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/5xx-builds-only/ or
- http://www.activestate.com/PPMPackages/5.6plus
- The syntax for ppm is: C:> ppm <modulename>
- Example 4-1. Installing ActivePerl ppd Modules on Microsoft
- Windows
- C:> ppm DBD-Mysql
- Watch your capitalization!
- ActiveState's 5.6Plus directory also contains an AppConfig ppm, so
- you might see the following error when trying to install the
- version at OpenInteract:
- Error installing package 'AppConfig': Read a PPD for 'AppConfig',
- but it is not intended for this build of Perl
- (MSWin32-x86-multi-thread)
- If so, download both the tarball and the ppd directly from
- OpenInteract, then run ppm from within the same directory to which
- you downloaded those files and install the package by referencing
- the ppd file explicitly via in the install command, f.e.:
- Example 4-2. Installing OpenInteract ppd Modules manually on
- Microsoft Windows
- install C:\AppConfig.ppd
- 4. Install MySQL for NT.
-
- Note
-
- You can download MySQL for Windows NT from MySQL.com . Some find it
- helpful to use the WinMySqlAdmin utility, included with the download,
- to set up the database.
- 5. Setup MySQL
- a. C:> C:\mysql\bin\mysql -u root mysql
- b. mysql> DELETE FROM user WHERE Host='localhost' AND User='';
- c. mysql> UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD ('new_password')
- WHERE user='root';
- "new_password" , above, indicates whatever password you wish
- to use for your "root" user.
- d. mysql> GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, INDEX, ALTER,
- CREATE, DROP, REFERENCES ON bugs.* to bugs@localhost
- IDENTIFIED BY 'bugs_password';
- "bugs_password" , above, indicates whatever password you wish
- to use for your "bugs" user.
- e. mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
- f. mysql> create database bugs;
- g. mysql> exit;
- h. C:> C:\mysql\bin\mysqladmin -u root -p reload
- 6. Edit checksetup.pl in your Bugzilla directory. Change this line:
-
-my $webservergid =
- getgrnam($my_webservergroup);
-
- to
-
-my $webservergid =
- $my_webservergroup;
-
- or the name of the group you wish to own the files explicitly:
-
-my $webservergid =
- 'Administrators'
-
- 7. Run checksetup.pl from the Bugzilla directory.
- 8. Edit localconfig to suit your requirements. Set $db_pass to your
- "bugs_password" from step 5.d , and $webservergroup to "8" .
-
- Note
-
- Not sure on the "8" for $webservergroup above. If it's wrong, please
- send corrections.
- 9. Edit defparams.pl to suit your requirements. Particularly, set
- DefParam("maintainer") and DefParam("urlbase") to match your
- install.
-
- Note
-
- This is yet another step I'm not sure of, since the maintainer of this
- documentation does not maintain Bugzilla on NT. If you can confirm or
- deny that this step is required, please let me know.
- 10.
-
- Note
-
- There are several alternatives to Sendmail that will work on Win32.
- The one mentioned here is a suggestion , not a requirement. Some other
- mail packages that can work include BLAT , Windmail , Mercury Sendmail
- , and the CPAN Net::SMTP Perl module (available in .ppm). Every option
- requires some hacking of the Perl scripts for Bugzilla to make it
- work. The option here simply requires the least.
- 1. Download NTsendmail, available from www.ntsendmail.com . You
- must have a "real" mail server which allows you to relay off
- it in your $ENV{"NTsendmail"} (which you should probably
- place in globals.pl)
- 2. Put ntsendmail.pm into your .\perl\lib directory.
- 3. Add to globals.pl:
-
-# these settings configure the NTsendmail
- process use NTsendmail;
- $ENV{"NTsendmail"}="your.smtpserver.box";
- $ENV{"NTsendmail_debug"}=1;
- $ENV{"NTsendmail_max_tries"}=5;
-
- Note
-
- Some mention to also edit $db_pass in globals.pl to be your
- "bugs_password" . Although this may get you around some problem
- authenticating to your database, since globals.pl is not normally
- restricted by .htaccess , your database password is exposed to whoever
- uses your web server.
- 4. Find and comment out all occurences of " open(SENDMAIL " in
- your Bugzilla directory. Then replace them with:
-
-# new sendmail functionality my $mail=new
- NTsendmail; my $from="bugzilla\@your.machine.name.tld"; my
- $to=$login; my $subject=$urlbase;
- $mail->send($from,$to,$subject,$msg);
-

+4.3.1. Microsoft Windows
+
+ Making Bugzilla work on windows is still a very painful processes. The
+ Bugzilla Team is working to make it easier, but that goal is not
+ considered a top priority. If you wish to run Bugzilla, we still
+ recommend doing so on a Unix based system such as GNU/Linux. As of
+ this writing, all members of the Bugzilla team and all known large
+ installations run on Unix based systems.
+
+ If after hearing all that, you have enough pain tolerance to attempt
+ installing Bugzilla on Win32, here are some pointers. Because this is
+ a development version of the guide, these instructions are subject to
+ change without notice. In fact, the Bugzilla Team hopes they do as we
+ would like to have Bugzilla resonabally close to "out of the box"
+ compatibility by the 2.18 release.
+ _________________________________________________________________
- Some have found success using the commercial product, Windmail . You
- could try replacing your sendmail calls with:
-open SENDMAIL,
- "|\"C:/General/Web/tools/Windmail 4.0 Beta/windmail\" -t >
- mail.log";
+4.3.1.1. Win32 Perl
- or something to that effect.
- 11. Change all references in all files from processmail to
- processmail.pl , and rename processmail to processmail.pl .
+ Perl for Windows can be obtained from ActiveState. You should be able
+ to find a compiled binary at
+ http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Downloads/ActivePerl/.
+ _________________________________________________________________
- Note
+4.3.1.2. Perl Modules on Win32
- Many think this may be a change we want to make for main-tree
- Bugzilla. It's painless for the UNIX folks, and will make the Win32
- people happier.
+ Bugzilla on Windows requires the same perl modules found in Section
+ 4.1.2. The main difference is that windows uses ppm instead of CPAN.
+C:\perl> ppm <module name>
Note
- Some people have suggested using the Net::SMTP Perl module instead of
- NTsendmail or the other options listed here. You can change
- processmail.pl to make this work.
-
-my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new('<Name of your SMTP server>'); #connect to SMTP ser
-ver
-$smtp->mail('<your name>@<you smpt server>');# use the sender's adress here
-$smtp->to($tolist); # recipient's address
-$smtp->data(); # Start the mail
-$smtp->datasend($msg);
-$smtp->dataend(); # Finish sending the mail
-$smtp->quit; # Close the SMTP connection
-$logstr = "$logstr; mail sent to $tolist $cclist";
-}
-
-
-
-
- here is a test mail program for Net::SMTP:
-
-use Net::SMTP;
- my $smtp = Net::SMTP->new('<Name of your SMTP server', Timeout => 30, Debug
-=> 1, ); # connect to SMTP server
- $smtp->auth;
- $smtp->mail('you@yourcompany.com');# use the sender's adress
-here
- $smtp->to('someotherAddress@someotherdomain.com'); #
-recipient's address
- $smtp->data(); # Start the mail
- $smtp->datasend('test');
- $smtp->dataend(); # Finish sending the mail
- $smtp->quit; # Close the SMTP connection
-exit;
-
-
-
-
- 12.
+ The above syntax should work for all modules with the exception of
+ Template Toolkit. The Template Toolkit website suggests using the
+ instructions on OpenInteract's website.
Note
- This step is optional if you are using IIS or another web server which
- only decides on an interpreter based upon the file extension (.pl),
- rather than the "shebang" line (#/usr/bonsaitools/bin/perl)
- Modify the path to perl on the first line (#!) of all files to
- point to your Perl installation, and add "perl" to the beginning
- of all Perl system calls that use a perl script as an argument.
- This may take you a while. There is a "setperl.csh" utility to
- speed part of this procedure, available in the Useful Patches and
- Utilities for Bugzilla section of The Bugzilla Guide. However, it
- requires the Cygwin GNU-compatible environment for Win32 be set up
- in order to work. See http://www.cygwin.com/ for details on
- obtaining Cygwin.
- 13. Modify the invocation of all system() calls in all perl scripts in
- your Bugzilla directory. You should specify the full path to perl
- for each system() call. For instance, change this line in
- processmail:
-
+ A complete list of modules that can be installed using ppm can be
+ found at http://www.activestate.com/PPMPackages/5.6plus.
+ _________________________________________________________________
-system ("./processmail",@ARGLIST);
- </programlisting> to
- <programlisting>
-system ("C:\\perl\\bin\\perl", "processmail", @ARGLIST);
+4.3.1.3. Code changes required to run on win32
+ Unfortunately, Bugzilla still doesn't run "out of the box" on Windows.
+ There is work in progress to make this easier, but until that happens
+ code will have to be modified. This section is an attempt to list the
+ required changes. It is an attempt to be all inclusive, but there may
+ be other changes required. If you find something is missing, please
+ file a bug in Bugzilla Documentation.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+4.3.1.3.1. Changes to checksetup.pl
- Tip
+ In checksetup.pl, the line reading:
+my $mysql_binaries = `which mysql`;
- If you are using IIS or Personal Web Server, you must add cgi
- relationships to Properties -> Home directory (tab) -> Application
- Settings (section) -> Configuration (button), such as:
+ to
+my $mysql_binaries = "D:\\mysql\\bin\\mysql";
-.cgi to: <perl install directory>\perl.exe %s
- %s .pl to: <perl install directory>\perl.exe %s %s
- GET,HEAD,POST
+ And you'll also need to change:
+my $webservergid = getgrnam($my_webservergroup)
- Change the path to Perl to match your install, of course.
+ to
+my $webservergid = '8'
_________________________________________________________________
-4.3.2. Additional Windows Tips
-
- Tip
-
- From Andrew Pearson:
+4.3.1.3.2. Making mail work
- You can make Bugzilla work with Personal Web Server for Windows 98
- and higher, as well as for IIS 4.0. Microsoft has information
- available at
- http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q231/9/98.ASP
+ The easiest way to get mail working is to use the mail patches on bug
+ 124174. With any luck, this patch will receive the required reviews
+ and integrated into the main Bugzilla distribution very soon. Until
+ that happens, there's at least one report of this patch working well
+ on Windows.
+ _________________________________________________________________
- Basically you need to add two String Keys in the registry at the
- following location:
+4.3.1.3.3. System Calls
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Paramete
-rs\ScriptMap
+ In order to get system calls to work on win32's perl, you need to tell
+ the windows shell what interpreter to use. This is done by changing
+ the system calls. You will need to search all of Bugzilla's code for
+ system calls. To tell perl your interpreter, it needs to be the first
+ argument to the system call. For example, you'll need to change:
+system("./processmail", $id, $exporter);
- The keys should be called ".pl" and ".cgi", and both should have a
- value something like: c:/perl/bin/perl.exe "%s" "%s"
+ with
+system("C:\\perl\\bin\\perl", "processmail", $id, $exporter);
- The KB article only talks about .pl, but it goes into more detail
- and provides a perl test script.
+ Notice that the ./ is also removed.
Tip
- If attempting to run Bugzilla 2.12 or older, you will need to remove
- encrypt() calls from the Perl source. This is not necessary for
- Bugzilla 2.13 and later, which includes the current release, Bugzilla
- &bz-ver;.
+ The grep command is very helpful in finding these system calls,
+ assuming you have the cygwin utilities.
+ _________________________________________________________________
- Example 4-3. Removing encrypt() for Windows NT Bugzilla version 2.12
- or earlier
+4.3.1.4. Serving the web pages
- Replace this:
-SendSQL("SELECT encrypt(" . SqlQuote($enteredpwd) .
- ", " . SQLQuote(substr($realcryptpwd, 0, 2)) . ")"); my
- $enteredcryptpwd = FetchOneColumn();
+ As is the case on Unix based systems, any web server should be able to
+ handle Bugzilla; however, the Bugzilla Team still recommends Apache
+ whenever asked. No matter what web server you choose, be sure to pay
+ attention to the security notes in Section 5.6. More information on
+ configuring specific web servers can be found in Section 4.4.
- with this:
- my $enteredcryptpwd = $enteredpwd
+ Note
- in cgi.pl.
+ If using Apache on windows, you can set the ScriptInterpreterSource
+ directive in your Apache config, if you don't do this, you'll have to
+ modify the first line of every script to contain your path to perl
+ instead of /usr/bonsaitools/bin/perl.

+4.4. HTTP Server Configuration
+
+ The Bugzilla Team recommends Apache when using Bugzilla, however, any
+ web server that can be configured to run CGI scripts should be able to
+ handle Bugzilla. No matter what web server you choose, but especially
+ if you choose something other than Apache, you should be sure to read
+ Section 5.6.
+
+ The plan for this section is to eventually document the specifics of
+ how to lock down permissions on individual web servers.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+4.4.1. Apache httpd
+
+ As mentioned above, the Bugzilla Team recommends Apache for use with
+ Bugzilla. You will have to make sure that Apache is properly
+ configured to run the Bugzilla CGI scripts. You also need to make sure
+ that the .htaccess files created by ./checksetup.pl (shown in Example
+ 4-1 for the curious) are allowed to override Apache's normal access
+ permissions or else important password information may be exposed to
+ the Internet.
+
+ Many Apache installations are not configured to run scripts anywhere
+ but in the cgi-bin directory; however, we recommend that Bugzilla not
+ be installed in the cgi-bin, otherwise the static files such as images
+ and JavaScript will not work correctly. To allow scripts to run in the
+ normal web space, the following changes should be made to your
+ httpd.conf file.
+
+ To allow files with a .cgi extension to be run, make sure the
+ following line exists and is uncommented:
+AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
+
+ To allow .htaccess files to override permissions and .cgi files to run
+ in the Bugzilla directory, make sure the following two lines are in a
+ Directory directive that applies to the Bugzilla directory on your
+ system (either the Bugzilla directory or one of its parents).
+Options +ExecCGI
+AllowOverride Limit
+
+ Note
+
+ For more information on Apache and its directives, see the glossary
+ entry on Apache.
+
+ Example 4-1. .htaccess files for Apache

+
+ If you need, or for some reason even want, to use Microsoft's Internet
+ Information Services or Personal Web Server you should be able to. You
+ will need to configure them to know how to run CGI scripts, however.
+ This is described in Microsoft Knowledge Base article Q245225 for
+ Internet Information Services and Q231998 for Personal Web Server.
+
+ Also, and this can't be stressed enough, make sure that files such as
+ localconfig and your data directory are secured as described in

+ consult the documentation that came with your server for more
+ information on how to do this.
+
+ Because AOL Server doesn't support .htaccess files, you'll have to
+ create a TCL script. You should create an
+ aolserver/modules/tcl/filter.tcl file (the filename shouldn't matter)
+ with the following contents (change /bugzilla/ to the web-based path
+ to your Bugzilla installation):
+ns_register_filter preauth GET /bugzilla/localconfig filter_deny
+ns_register_filter preauth GET /bugzilla/*.pl filter_deny
+ns_register_filter preauth GET /bugzilla/localconfig filter_deny

+ ns_log Notice "filter_deny"
+ return "filter_return"
+}
+

+
+ This doesn't appear to account for everything mentioned in Section
+ 5.6. In particular, it doesn't block access to the data or template
+ directories. It also doesn't account for the editor backup files that

+
+ We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free

+ software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals; it
+ can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
+ whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License
+ principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
+
+ This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a
+ notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed
+ under the terms of this License. The "Document", below, refers to any
+ such manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is
+ addressed as "you".
+
+ A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
+ Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
+ modifications and/or translated into another language.
+
+ A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section of
+ the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
+ publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall
+ subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall
+ directly within that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is
+ in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain
+ any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
+ connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
+ commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
+ them.
+
+ The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
+ are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
+ that says that the Document is released under this License.
+
+ The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are listed,
+ as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
+ the Document is released under this License.
+
+ A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
+ represented in a format whose specification is available to the
+ general public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and
+ straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
+ pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
+ drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
+ for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
+ to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
+ format whose markup has been designed to thwart or discourage
+ subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is
+ not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
+
+ Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
+ ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML
+ or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple
+ HTML designed for human modification. Opaque formats include
+ PostScript, PDF, proprietary formats that can be read and edited only
+ by proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or
+ processing tools are not generally available, and the
+ machine-generated HTML produced by some word processors for output
+ purposes only.
+
+ The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
+ plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
+ this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
+ formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means
+ the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
+ preceding the beginning of the body of the text.

+ to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no
+ other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
+ technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
+ copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
+ compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
+ number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
+
+ You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
+ you may publicly display copies.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
+
+ If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than 100,
+ and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must
+ enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all
+ these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and
+ Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and
+ legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover
+ must present the full title with all words of the title equally
+ prominent and visible. You may add other material on the covers in
+ addition. Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they
+ preserve the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can
+ be treated as verbatim copying in other respects.
+
+ If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
+ legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
+ reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
+ pages.
+
+ If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
+ more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
+ copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
+ a publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a complete
+ Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which the
+ general network-using public has access to download anonymously at no
+ charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the latter
+ option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin
+ distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this
+ Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location
+ until at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque
+ copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to
+ the public.
+
+ It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
+ Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to
+ give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the
+ Document.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+4. MODIFICATIONS
+
+ You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
+ the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
+ the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
+ Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
+ and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
+ of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
+
+ A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
+ from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
+ (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
+ of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version
+ if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
+ B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or
+ entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the
+ Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal
+ authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has
+ less than five).
+ C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the Modified
+ Version, as the publisher.
+ D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
+ E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
+ adjacent to the other copyright notices.
+ F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
+ giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
+ terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
+ G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant
+ Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license
+ notice.
+ H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
+ I. Preserve the section entitled "History", and its title, and add to
+ it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
+ publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
+ there is no section entitled "History" in the Document, create one
+ stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
+ given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
+ Version as stated in the previous sentence.
+ J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
+ public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
+ the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
+ it was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. You
+ may omit a network location for a work that was published at least
+ four years before the Document itself, or if the original
+ publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
+ K. In any section entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
+ preserve the section's title, and preserve in the section all the
+ substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements
+ and/or dedications given therein.
+ L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered in
+ their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent
+ are not considered part of the section titles.
+ M. Delete any section entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may not
+ be included in the Modified Version.
+ N. Do not retitle any existing section as "Endorsements" or to
+ conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
+
+ If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
+ appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
+ copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
+ of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
+ list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
+ These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
+
+ You may add a section entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
+ nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
+ parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
+ been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
+ standard.
+
+ You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
+ passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
+ of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
+ Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
+ through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
+ includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
+ by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
+ you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
+ permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
+
+ The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
+ give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
+ imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
+
+ You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
+ License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
+ versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
+ Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
+ list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
+ license notice.
+
+ The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
+ multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
+ copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
+ different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
+ adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
+ author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
+ Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
+ Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
+
+ In the combination, you must combine any sections entitled "History"
+ in the various original documents, forming one section entitled
+ "History"; likewise combine any sections entitled "Acknowledgements",
+ and any sections entitled "Dedications". You must delete all sections
+ entitled "Endorsements."
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
+
+ You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other
+ documents released under this License, and replace the individual
+ copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy
+ that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the rules
+ of this License for verbatim copying of each of the documents in all
+ other respects.
+
+ You may extract a single document from such a collection, and
+ distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert a
+ copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow this
+ License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of that
+ document.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
+
+ A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
+ and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
+ distribution medium, does not as a whole count as a Modified Version
+ of the Document, provided no compilation copyright is claimed for the
+ compilation. Such a compilation is called an "aggregate", and this
+ License does not apply to the other self-contained works thus compiled
+ with the Document, on account of their being thus compiled, if they
+ are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
+
+ If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
+ copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one quarter
+ of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
+ covers that surround only the Document within the aggregate. Otherwise
+ they must appear on covers around the whole aggregate.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+8. TRANSLATION
+
+ Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
+ distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
+ Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
+ permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
+ translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
+ original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
+ translation of this License provided that you also include the
+ original English version of this License. In case of a disagreement
+ between the translation and the original English version of this
+ License, the original English version will prevail.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+9. TERMINATION
+
+ You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document
+ except as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt
+ to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and
+ will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
+ parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
+ License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
+ parties remain in full compliance.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
+
+ The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of the
+ GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new versions
+ will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in
+ detail to address new problems or concerns. See
+ http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/ .
+
+ Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
+ If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this
+ License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of
+ following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or
+ of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the
+ Free Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a version
+ number of this License, you may choose any version ever published (not
+ as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation.
+ _________________________________________________________________
+
+How to use this License for your documents
+
+ To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
+ the License in the document and put the following copyright and
+ license notices just after the title page:
+
+ Copyright (c) YEAR YOUR NAME. Permission is granted to copy,
+ distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU
+ Free Documentation License, Version 1.1 or any later version
+ published by the Free Software Foundation; with the Invariant
+ Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with the Front-Cover Texts being
+ LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts being LIST. A copy of the
+ license is included in the section entitled "GNU Free Documentation
+ License".
+
+ If you have no Invariant Sections, write "with no Invariant Sections"
+ instead of saying which ones are invariant. If you have no Front-Cover
+ Texts, write "no Front-Cover Texts" instead of "Front-Cover Texts
+ being LIST"; likewise for Back-Cover Texts.
+
+ If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
+ recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of
+ free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to
+ permit their use in free software.
