-- This release of Bugzilla uses the Template Toolkit. For speed,
- compiled templates are cached on disk. If you modify the templates
- in order to customise the look and feel of your Bugzilla installation,
- the toolkit will normally detect the changes, and recompile the
- changed templates.
-
- However, if you do not set a webservergroup in the localconfig file,
- (a generally unwise thing on a production installation of Bugzilla)
- the template directory would have to be world-writable for automatic
- recompilation to happen.
-
- Doing that would be a security risk. So, if you modify templates locally
- and do not have a webservergroup set, you will have to rerun checksetup.pl
- to recompile the templates manually. If you do not do this, the changes
- you make will not appear, and an error message will be reported.
-
- Adding new directories anywhere inside the template directory may cause
- permission errors. If you see these, rerun checksetup.pl as root. If you
- do not have root access, or cannot get someone who does to do this for you,
- you can rename the data/template directory to data/template.old (or any
- other name Bugzilla doesn't use). Then rerun checksetup.pl to regenerate
- the compiled templates.
