+ UNIX Installation + + + Please consult the README included with the Bugzilla distribution + as the current canonical source for UNIX installation instructions. + We do, however, have some installation notes for errata from the README. + + + + + + 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------".

+ Win32 (Win98+/NT/2K) Installation + + These directions have not been extensively tested. + We need testers! Please try these out and post any changes to the + newsgroup. + +
+ Win32 Installation: Step-by-step + + + You should be familiar with, and cross-reference, the UNIX README + while performing your Win32 installation. Unfortunately, Win32 + directions are not yet as detailed as those for UNIX. + + + The most critical difference for Win32 users is + the lack of support for a crypt() function in MySQL for Windows. It does not + have it! All ENCRYPT statements must be modified. + + + + + + + Install Apache Web Server + for Windows. + + + + You may also use Internet Information Server or Personal Web + Server for this purpose. However, setup is slightly more + difficult. If ActivePerl doesn't seem to handle your file + associations correctly (for .cgi and .pl files), please + consult the FAQ, in the "Win32" section. + + + If you are going to use IIS, if on Windows NT you must be updated + to at least Service Pack 4. + + + + + + Install ActivePerl + + + Please also check the following links to fully understand the status + of ActivePerl on Win32: + + Perl Porting, and + + Hixie Click Here + + + + + Use ppm from your perl\bin directory to install the following packs: DBI, + DBD-Mysql, TimeDate, Chart, Date-Calc, Date-Manip, and GD. You may need + to extract them from .zip format using Winzip or other unzip program first. + These additional ppm modules can be downloaded from ActiveState. + + + The syntax for ppm is: + + C:> ppm install <module>.ppd + + + + You can find ActiveState ppm modules at + + http://www.activestate.com/PPMPackages/5.6plus + + + + + Download and install the Windows GNU tools from + www.cygwin.com. + Make sure the GNU utilities are in your $PATH. + + + + + Install MySQL for NT. + + + Your configuration file for MySQL must be named C:\MY.CNF. + + + + + + + Setup MySQL + + + + + + C:> + C:\mysql\bin\mysql -u root mysql + + + + + + + mysql> + DELETE FROM user WHERE Host='localhost' AND User=''; + + + + + + + mysql> + UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD ('new_password') + WHERE user='root'; + + + + + + + mysql> + GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, + INDEX, ALTER, CREATE, DROP, REFERENCES + ON bugs.* to bugs@localhost + IDENTIFIED BY 'bugs_password'; + + + + + + + mysql> + FLUSH PRIVILEGES; + + + + + + + mysql> + create database bugs; + + + + + + + mysql> + exit + + + + + + + C:> + C:\mysql\bin\mysqladmin -u root -p reload + + + + + + + + + Configure Bugzilla. For Win32, this involves editing "defparams.pl" + and "localconfig" to taste. Running "checksetup.pl" should create + localconfig for you. Note that getgrnam() doesn't work, and should be + deleted. Change this line: + "my $webservergid = getgrnam($my_webservergroup); " + to + "my $webservergid = $my_webservergroup; " + + + + + + + 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. + + + + Download NTsendmail, available from + www.ntsendmail.com. In order for it to work, you must set up some + new environment variables (detailed on the ntsendmail home page). Figuring + out where to put those variables is left as an exercise for the reader. + 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) + + + Once downloaded and installed, modify all open(SENDMAIL) calls to open + "| c:\ntsendmail\ntsendmail -t" instead of "|/usr/lib/sendmail -t". + + + + We need someone to test this and make sure this works as advertised. + + + + + + Modify globals.pl and CGI.pl to remove the word "encrypt". + + + + I'm not sure this is all that is involved to remove crypt. Any + NT Bugzilla hackers want to pipe up? + + + + + + Change all references to "processmail" to "processmail.pl" in + all files, and rename "processmail" to "processmail.pl" + + + + I really 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. + + + + + + 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.pl" utility to speed part of this procedure, + available in the "Patches and Utilities" section of The Bugzilla Guide. + + + + + In processmail.pl, add "binmode(HANDLE)" before all read() calls. + This may not be necessary, but in some cases the read() under + Win32 doesn't count the EOL's without using a binary read(). + + + + +
+ +
+ Additional Windows Tips + + + From Andrew Pearson: +
+ + "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 + + + Basically you need to add two String Keys in the + registry at the following location: + + + HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W3SVC\Parameters\ScriptMap + + + The keys should be called ".pl" and ".cgi", and both + should have a value something like: + c:/perl/bin/perl.exe "%s" "%s" + + + The KB article only talks about .pl, but it goes into + more detail and provides a perl test script. + +
