Bugzilla has been successfully installed under Solaris, Linux, and Win32. Win32 is not yet officially supported, but many people have got it working fine. Please see for further advice on getting Bugzilla to work on Microsoft Windows.

If you are running the very most recent version of Perl and MySQL (both the executables and development libraries) on your system, you can skip these manual installation steps for the Perl modules by using Bundle::Bugzilla; see . The software packages necessary for the proper running of Bugzilla (with download links) are: MySQL database server (&min-mysql-ver; or greater) Perl (&min-perl-ver;, 5.6.1 is recommended if you wish to use Bundle::Bugzilla) Perl Modules (minimum version): Template (v&min-template-ver;) File::Temp (&min-file-temp-ver;) (Prerequisite for Template) AppConfig (&min-appconfig-ver;) Text::Wrap (&min-text-wrap-ver;) File::Spec (&min-file-spec-ver;) Data::Dumper (&min-data-dumper-ver;) DBD::mysql (&min-dbd-mysql-ver;) DBI (&min-dbi-ver;) Date::Parse (&min-date-format-ver;) CGI (&min-cgi-ver;) and, optionally: GD (&min-gd-ver;) for bug charting GD::Graph (&min-gd-graph-ver;) for bug charting GD::Text::Align (&min-gd-text-align-ver;) for bug charting Chart::Base (&min-chart-base-ver;) for bug charting XML::Parser (&min-xml-parser-ver;) for the XML interface MIME::Parser (&min-mime-parser-ver;) for the email interface The web server of your choice. Apache is highly recommended. It is a good idea, while installing Bugzilla, to ensure that there is some kind of firewall between you and the rest of the Internet, because your machine may be insecure for periods during the install. Many installation steps require an active Internet connection to complete, but you must take care to ensure that at no point is your machine vulnerable to an attack.

Visit the MySQL homepage at www.mysql.com to grab and install the latest stable release of the server. Many of the binary versions of MySQL store their data files in /var. On some Unix systems, this is part of a smaller root partition, and may not have room for your bug database. You can set the data directory as an option to configure if you build MySQL from source yourself. If you install from something other than an RPM or Debian package, you will need to add mysqld to your init scripts so the server daemon will come back up whenever your machine reboots. Further discussion of UNIX init sequences are beyond the scope of this guide. Change your init script to start mysqld with the ability to accept large packets. By default, mysqld only accepts packets up to 64K long. This limits the size of attachments you may put on bugs. If you add -O max_allowed_packet=1M to the command that starts mysqld (or safe_mysqld), then you will be able to have attachments up to about 1 megabyte. There is a Bugzilla parameter for maximum attachment size; you should configure it to match the value you choose here. If you plan on running Bugzilla and MySQL on the same machine, consider using the --skip-networking option in the init script. This enhances security by preventing network access to MySQL.

Any machine that doesn't have Perl on it is a sad machine indeed. Perl can be got in source form from perl.com for the rare *nix systems which don't have it. Although Bugzilla runs with perl &min-perl-ver;, it's a good idea to be up to the very latest version if you can when running Bugzilla. As of this writing, that is Perl version &newest-perl-ver;. You can skip the following Perl module installation steps by installing Bundle::Bugzilla from CPAN, which installs all required modules for you. bash# perl -MCPAN -e 'install "Bundle::Bugzilla"' Bundle::Bugzilla doesn't include GD, Chart::Base, or MIME::Parser, which are not essential to a basic Bugzilla install. If installing this bundle fails, you should install each module individually to isolate the problem.

All Perl modules can be found on the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN). The CPAN servers have a real tendency to bog down, so please use mirrors. Quality, general Perl module installation instructions can be found on the CPAN website, but the easy thing to do is to just use the CPAN shell which does all the hard work for you. To use the CPAN shell to install a module: bash# perl -MCPAN -e 'install "<modulename>"' To do it the hard way: Untar the module tarball -- it should create its own directory CD to the directory just created, and enter the following commands: bash# perl Makefile.PL bash# make bash# make test bash# make install Many people complain that Perl modules will not install for them. Most times, the error messages complain that they are missing a file in @INC. Virtually every time, this error is due to permissions being set too restrictively for you to compile Perl modules or not having the necessary Perl development libraries installed on your system. Consult your local UNIX systems administrator for help solving these permissions issues; if you are the local UNIX sysadmin, please consult the newsgroup/mailing list for further assistance or hire someone to help you out.

The DBI module is a generic Perl module used the MySQL-related modules. As long as your Perl installation was done correctly the DBI module should be a breeze. It's a mixed Perl/C module, but Perl's MakeMaker system simplifies the C compilation greatly.

The Data::Dumper module provides data structure persistence for Perl (similar to Java's serialization). It comes with later sub-releases of Perl 5.004, but a re-installation just to be sure it's available won't hurt anything.

The Perl/MySQL interface requires a few mutually-dependent Perl modules. These modules are grouped together into the the Msql-Mysql-modules package. The MakeMaker process will ask you a few questions about the desired compilation target and your MySQL installation. For most of the questions the provided default will be adequate, but when asked if your desired target is the MySQL or mSQL packages, you should select the MySQL related ones. Later you will be asked if you wish to provide backwards compatibility with the older MySQL packages; you should answer YES to this question. The default is NO. A host of 'localhost' should be fine and a testing user of 'test' with a null password should find itself with sufficient access to run tests on the 'test' database which MySQL created upon installation.

Many of the more common date/time/calendar related Perl modules have been grouped into a bundle similar to the MySQL modules bundle. This bundle is stored on the CPAN under the name TimeDate. The component module we're most interested in is the Date::Format module, but installing all of them is probably a good idea anyway.

The GD library was written by Thomas Boutell a long while ago to programatically generate images in C. Since then it's become the defacto standard for programmatic image construction. The Perl bindings to it found in the GD library are used on millions of web pages to generate graphs on the fly. That's what Bugzilla will be using it for so you must install it if you want any of the graphing to work. The Perl GD library requires some other libraries that may or may not be installed on your system, including libpng and libgd. The full requirements are listed in the Perl GD library README. If compiling GD fails, it's probably because you're missing a required library.

The Chart module provides Bugzilla with on-the-fly charting abilities. It can be installed in the usual fashion after it has been fetched from CPAN. Note that earlier versions that 0.99c used GIFs, which are no longer supported by the latest versions of GD.

When you install Template Toolkit, you'll get asked various questions about features to enable. The defaults are fine, except that it is recommended you use the high speed XS Stash of the Template Toolkit, in order to achieve best performance.

You have freedom of choice here, pretty much any web server that is capable of running CGI scripts will work. has more information about configuring web servers to work with Bugzilla. We strongly recommend Apache as the web server to use. The Bugzilla Guide installation instructions, in general, assume you are using Apache. If you have got Bugzilla working using another webserver, please share your experiences with us.

You should untar the Bugzilla files into a directory that you're willing to make writable by the default web server user (probably nobody). You may decide to put the files in the main web space for your web server or perhaps in /usr/local with a symbolic link in the web space that points to the Bugzilla directory. If you symlink the bugzilla directory into your Apache's HTML hierarchy, you may receive Forbidden errors unless you add the FollowSymLinks directive to the <Directory> entry for the HTML root in httpd.conf. Once all the files are in a web accessible directory, make that directory writable by your webserver's user. This is a temporary step until you run the post-install checksetup.pl script, which locks down your installation.

After you've gotten all the software installed and working you're ready to start preparing the database for its life as the back end to a high quality bug tracker. First, you'll want to fix MySQL permissions to allow access from Bugzilla. For the purpose of this Installation section, the Bugzilla username will be bugs, and will have minimal permissions. Begin by giving the MySQL root user a password. MySQL passwords are limited to 16 characters. bash# mysql -u root mysql mysql> UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('<new_password'>) WHERE user='root'; mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; From this point on, if you need to access MySQL as the MySQL root user, you will need to use mysql -u root -p and enter <new_password>. Remember that MySQL user names have nothing to do with Unix user names (login names). Next, we use an SQL GRANT command to create a bugs user, and grant sufficient permissions for checksetup.pl, which we'll use later, to work its magic. This also restricts the bugs user to operations within a database called bugs, and only allows the account to connect from localhost. Modify it to reflect your setup if you will be connecting from another machine or as a different user. Remember to set <bugs_password> to some unique password. mysql> GRANT SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,INDEX, ALTER,CREATE,DROP,REFERENCES ON bugs.* TO bugs@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '<bugs_password>'; mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES; If you are using MySQL 4, the bugs user also needs to be granted the LOCK TABLES and CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES permissions.

Next, run the magic checksetup.pl script. (Many thanks to Holger Schurig for writing this script!) This script is designed to make sure your MySQL database and other configuration options are consistent with the Bugzilla CGI files. It will make sure Bugzilla files and directories have reasonable permissions, set up the data directory, and create all the MySQL tables. bash# ./checksetup.pl The first time you run it, it will create a file called localconfig. This file contains a variety of settings you may need to tweak including how Bugzilla should connect to the MySQL database. The connection settings include: server's host: just use localhost if the MySQL server is local database name: bugs if you're following these directions MySQL username: bugs if you're following these directions Password for the bugs MySQL account; (<bugs_password>) above Once you are happy with the settings, su to the user your web server runs as, and re-run checksetup.pl. (Note: on some security-conscious systems, you may need to change the login shell for the webserver account before you can do this.) On this second run, it will create the database and an administrator account for which you will be prompted to provide information. The checksetup.pl script is designed so that you can run it at any time without causing harm. You should run it after any upgrade to Bugzilla.

You should run through the parameters on the Edit Parameters page (link in the footer) and set them all to appropriate values. They key parameters are documented in .

As well as the text-based dependency graphs, Bugzilla also supports dependency graphing, using a package called 'dot'. Exactly how this works is controlled by the 'webdotbase' parameter, which can have one of three values: A complete file path to the command 'dot' (part of GraphViz) will generate the graphs locally A URL prefix pointing to an installation of the webdot package will generate the graphs remotely A blank value will disable dependency graphing. So, to get this working, install GraphViz. If you do that, you need to enable server-side image maps in Apache. Alternatively, you could set up a webdot server, or use the AT&T public webdot server (the default for the webdotbase param). Note that AT&T's server won't work if Bugzilla is only accessible using HARTS.

As long as you installed the GD and Graph::Base Perl modules you might as well turn on the nifty Bugzilla bug reporting graphs. Add a cron entry like this to run collectstats.pl daily at 5 after midnight: bash# crontab -e 5 0 * * * cd <your-bugzilla-directory> ; ./collectstats.pl After two days have passed you'll be able to view bug graphs from the Bug Reports page.

By now you have a fully functional Bugzilla, but what good are bugs if they're not annoying? To help make those bugs more annoying you can set up Bugzilla's automatic whining system to complain at engineers which leave their bugs in the NEW state without triaging them. This can be done by adding the following command as a daily crontab entry (for help on that see that crontab man page): cd <your-bugzilla-directory> ; ./whineatnews.pl Depending on your system, crontab may have several manpages. The following command should lead you to the most useful page for this purpose: man 5 crontab

This information on using the LDAP authentication options with Bugzilla is old, and the authors do not know of anyone who has tested it. Approach with caution. The existing authentication scheme for Bugzilla uses email addresses as the primary user ID, and a password to authenticate that user. All places within Bugzilla where you need to deal with user ID (e.g assigning a bug) use the email address. The LDAP authentication builds on top of this scheme, rather than replacing it. The initial log in is done with a username and password for the LDAP directory. This then fetches the email address from LDAP and authenticates seamlessly in the standard Bugzilla authentication scheme using this email address. If an account for this address already exists in your Bugzilla system, it will log in to that account. If no account for that email address exists, one is created at the time of login. (In this case, Bugzilla will attempt to use the "displayName" or "cn" attribute to determine the user's full name.) After authentication, all other user-related tasks are still handled by email address, not LDAP username. You still assign bugs by email address, query on users by email address, etc. Using LDAP for Bugzilla authentication requires the Mozilla::LDAP (aka PerLDAP) Perl module. The Mozilla::LDAP module in turn requires Netscape's Directory SDK for C. After you have installed the SDK, then install the PerLDAP module. Mozilla::LDAP and the Directory SDK for C are both available for download from mozilla.org. Set the Param 'useLDAP' to "On" **only** if you will be using an LDAP directory for authentication. Be very careful when setting up this parameter; if you set LDAP authentication, but do not have a valid LDAP directory set up, you will not be able to log back in to Bugzilla once you log out. (If this happens, you can get back in by manually editing the data/params file, and setting useLDAP back to 0.) If using LDAP, you must set the three additional parameters: Set LDAPserver to the name (and optionally port) of your LDAP server. If no port is specified, it defaults to the default port of 389. (e.g "ldap.mycompany.com" or "ldap.mycompany.com:1234") Set LDAPBaseDN to the base DN for searching for users in your LDAP directory. (e.g. "ou=People,o=MyCompany") uids must be unique under the DN specified here. Set LDAPmailattribute to the name of the attribute in your LDAP directory which contains the primary email address. On most directory servers available, this is "mail", but you may need to change this. You can also try using OpenLDAP with Bugzilla, using any of a number of administration tools. You should apply the patch attached this bug: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158630, then set the following object classes for your users: objectClass: person objectClass: organizationalPerson objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: top objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: shadowAccount Please note that this patch has not yet been accepted by the Bugzilla team, and so you may need to do some manual tweaking. That said, it looks like Net::LDAP is probably the way to go in the future.

It is possible for a Bugzilla to execute malicious Javascript code. Due to internationalization concerns, we are unable to incorporate the code changes necessary to fulfill the CERT advisory requirements mentioned in http://www.cet.org/tech_tips/malicious_code_mitigation.html/#3. Executing the following code snippet from a UNIX command shell will rectify the problem if your Bugzilla installation is intended for an English-speaking audience. As always, be sure your Bugzilla installation has a good backup before making changes, and I recommend you understand what the script is doing before executing it. bash# perl -pi -e "s/Content-Type\: text\/html/Content-Type\: text\/html\; charset=ISO-8859-1/i" *.cgi *.pl All this one-liner command does is search for all instances of Content-type: text/html and replaces it with Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 . This specification prevents possible Javascript attacks on the browser, and is suggested for all English-speaking sites. For non-English-speaking Bugzilla sites, I suggest changing ISO-8859-1, above, to UTF-8. Using <meta> tags to set the charset is not recommended, as there's a bug in Netscape 4.x which causes pages marked up in this way to load twice. See bug 126266 for more information including progress toward making bugzilla charset aware by default.

You should modify the <DirectoryIndex> parameter for the Apache virtual host running your Bugzilla installation to allow index.cgi as the index page for a directory, as well as the usual index.html, index.htm, and so forth.

Bugzilla is unsupported under mod_perl. Effort is underway to make it work cleanly in a mod_perl environment, but it is slow going.

It is possible for a user, by mistake or on purpose, to access the database many times in a row which can result in very slow access speeds for other users. If your Bugzilla installation is experiencing this problem , you may install the Apache module mod_throttle which can limit connections by ip-address. You may download this module at http://www.snert.com/Software/Throttle/. Follow the instructions to install into your Apache install. This module only functions with the Apache web server! You may use the ThrottleClientIP command provided by this module to accomplish this goal. See the Module Instructions for more information.

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. If you have anything to add or notes for an operating system not covered, please file a bug in &bzg-bugs;.

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.

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/.

Bugzilla on Windows requires the same perl modules found in . The main difference is that windows uses ppm instead of CPAN. C:\perl> ppm <module name> 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. A complete list of modules that can be installed using ppm can be found at http://www.activestate.com/PPMPackages/5.6plus.

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 &bzg-bugs;.

In checksetup.pl, the line reading: my $mysql_binaries = `which mysql`; to my $mysql_binaries = "D:\\mysql\\bin\\mysql"; And you'll also need to change: my $webservergid = getgrnam($my_webservergroup) to my $webservergid = '8'

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 . More information on configuring specific web servers can be found in . 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/bin/perl.

There are a lot of common libraries and utilities out there that Apple did not include with Mac OS X, but which run perfectly well on it. The GD library, which Bugzilla needs to do bug graphs, is one of these. The easiest way to get a lot of these is with a program called Fink, which is similar in nature to the CPAN installer, but installs common GNU utilities. Fink is available from . Follow the instructions for setting up Fink. Once it's installed, you'll want to run the following as root: fink install gd It will prompt you for a number of dependencies, type 'y' and hit enter to install all of the dependencies. Then watch it work. To prevent creating conflicts with the software that Apple installs by default, Fink creates its own directory tree at /sw where it installs most of the software that it installs. This means your libraries and headers for libgd will be at /sw/lib and /sw/include instead of /usr/lib and /usr/local/include. Because of these changed locations for the libraries, the Perl GD module will not install directly via CPAN, because it looks for the specific paths instead of getting them from your environment. But there's a way around that :-) Instead of typing install GD at the cpan> prompt, type look GD. This should go through the motions of downloading the latest version of the GD module, then it will open a shell and drop you into the build directory. Apply this patch to the Makefile.PL file (save the patch into a file and use the command patch < patchfile.) Then, run these commands to finish the installation of the GD module: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install And don't forget to run exit to get back to CPAN.

Linux-Mandrake 8.0 includes every required and optional library for Bugzilla. The easiest way to install them is by using the urpmi utility. If you follow these commands, you should have everything you need for Bugzilla, and ./checksetup.pl should not complain about any missing libraries. You may already have some of these installed. bash# urpmi perl-mysql bash# urpmi perl-chart bash# urpmi perl-gd bash# urpmi perl-MailTools bash# urpmi apache-modules for Bugzilla e-mail integration

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 . The plan for this section is to eventually document the specifics of how to lock down permissions on individual web servers.

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 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 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 For more information on Apache and its directives, see the glossary entry on . $BUGZILLA_HOME/.htaccess deny from all allow from all ]]> $BUGZILLA_HOME/data/.htaccess allow from all ]]> $BUGZILLA_HOME/data/webdot Allow from 192.20.225.10 Deny from all # Allow access by a local copy of 'dot' to .png, .gif, .jpg, and # .map files Allow from all # And no directory listings, either. Deny from all ]]> $BUGZILLA_HOME/Bugzilla/.htaccess # nothing in this directory is retrievable unless overriden by an .htaccess # in a subdirectory deny from all $BUGZILLA_HOME/template/.htaccess # nothing in this directory is retrievable unless overriden by an .htaccess # in a subdirectory deny from all

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 .

Ben FrantzDale reported success using AOL Server with Bugzilla. He reported his experience and what appears below is based on that. AOL Server will have to be configured to run CGI scripts, please 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/localconfig~ filter_deny ns_register_filter preauth GET /bugzilla/\#localconfig\# filter_deny ns_register_filter preauth GET /bugzilla/*.pl filter_deny ns_register_filter preauth GET /bugzilla/syncshadowdb filter_deny ns_register_filter preauth GET /bugzilla/runtests.sh filter_deny ns_register_filter preauth GET /bugzilla/data/* filter_deny ns_register_filter preauth GET /bugzilla/template/* filter_deny proc filter_deny { why } { ns_log Notice "filter_deny" return "filter_return" } This probably doesn't account for all possible editor backup files so you may wish to add some additional variations of localconfig. For more information, see bug 186383 or Bugtraq ID 6501. If you are using webdot from research.att.com (the default configuration for the webdotbase paramater), you will need to allow access to data/webdot/*.dot for the reasearch.att.com machine. If you are using a local installation of GraphViz, you will need to allow everybody to access *.png, *.gif, *.jpg, and *.map in the data/webdot directory.

This section gives solutions to common Bugzilla installation problems.

Try executing perl -MCPAN -e 'install CPAN' and then continuing. Certain older versions of the CPAN toolset were somewhat naive about how to upgrade Perl modules. When a couple of modules got rolled into the core Perl distribution for 5.6.1, CPAN thought that the best way to get those modules up to date was to haul down the Perl distribution itself and build it. Needless to say, this has caused headaches for just about everybody. Upgrading to a newer version of CPAN with the commandline above should fix things.

The following error message may appear due to a bug in DBD::mysql (over which the Bugzilla team have no control): To fix this, go to <path-to-perl>/lib/DBD/sponge.pm in your Perl installation and replace {'NUM_OF_FIELDS'}) { $numFields = $attribs->{'NUM_OF_FIELDS'}; } elsif ($attribs->{'NAME'}) { $numFields = @{$attribs->{NAME}}; ]]> by {'NUM_OF_FIELDS'}) { $numFields = $attribs->{'NUM_OF_FIELDS'}; } elsif ($attribs->{'NAMES'}) { $numFields = @{$attribs->{NAMES}}; ]]> (note the S added to NAME.)

If you are installing Bugzilla on SuSE Linux, or some other distributions with paranoid security options, it is possible that the checksetup.pl script may fail with the error: 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.

This is caused by a bug in the version of File::Temp that is distributed with perl 5.6.0. Many minor variations of this error have been reported. Examples can be found in .

Your vendor has not defined Fcntl macro O_NOINHERIT, used at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/File/Temp.pm line 208. Your vendor has not defined Fcntl macro O_EXLOCK, used at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/File/Temp.pm line 210. Your vendor has not defined Fcntl macro O_TEMPORARY, used at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/File/Temp.pm line 233.

Numerous people have reported that upgrading to version 5.6.1 or higher solved the problem for them. A less involved fix is to apply the patch in . The patch is also available as a patch file.
