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 2.16 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. - |
