3.1. ERRATA
Here are some miscellaneous notes about possible issues you + main run into when you begin your Bugzilla installation. + Reference platforms for Bugzilla installation are Redhat Linux + 7.2, Linux-Mandrake 8.0, and Solaris 8.
| If you are installing Bugzilla on S.u.S.e. Linux, or some + other distributions with "paranoid" security + options, it is possible that the checksetup.pl script may fail + with the error: cannot chdir(/var/spool/mqueue): + Permission denied This is because your + /var/spool/mqueue directory has a mode of + "drwx------". Type chmod 755 + /var/spool/mqueue as root to + fix this problem. + |
| Bugzilla may be installed on Macintosh OS X (10), which is a + unix-based (BSD) operating system. Everything required for + Bugzilla on OS X will install cleanly, but the optional GD + perl module which is used for bug charting requires some + additional setup for installation. Please see the Mac OS X + installation section below for details + |
| Release Notes for Bugzilla 2.14 are available at + docs/rel_notes.txt in your Bugzilla + source distribution. + |
| The preferred documentation for Bugzilla is available in + docs/, with a variety of document types available. Please + refer to these documents when installing, configuring, and + maintaining your Bugzilla installation. + |
Bugzilla is not a package where you can just plop it in a directory, + twiddle a few things, and you're off. Installing Bugzilla assumes you + know your variant of UNIX or Microsoft Windows well, are familiar with the + command line, and are comfortable compiling and installing a plethora + of third-party utilities. To install Bugzilla on Win32 requires + fair Perl proficiency, and if you use a webserver other than Apache you + should be intimately familiar with the security mechanisms and CGI + environment thereof. + |
Bugzilla has not undergone a complete security review. Security holes + may exist in the code. Great care should be taken both in the installation + and usage of this software. Carefully consider the implications of + installing other network services with Bugzilla. + |
