  <title>Installation</title>

  <section id="stepbystep">
    <title>Step-by-step Install</title>

      <para>Bugzilla has been successfully installed under many different
      operating systems including almost all Unix clones and
      <productname class="registered">Microsoft Windows</productname>.  Many
      operating systems have utilities that make installation easier or quirks
      that make it harder. We have tried to collect that information in
      <xref linkend="os-specific"/>, so be sure to check out that section before
      you start your installation.
      </para>

      <note>
        <para>Windows is one of those operating systems that has many quirks
        and is not yet officially supported by the Bugzilla team. If you wish
        to install Bugzilla on Windows, be sure to see
        <xref linkend="os-win32"/>.
        </para>
      </note>

      <warning>
        <para>While installing Bugzilla, it is a good idea to ensure that there
        is some kind of firewall between you and the rest of the Internet
        as 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.</para>
      </warning>

      <para>This guide assumes that you already have your operating system
      installed, network configured, and have administrative access to the
      shell on the machine you are installing Bugzilla onto. It is possible to
      install and run Bugzilla without administrative access, but you have to
      either make sure all the required software is installed or get somebody
      with administrative access to install it for you.
      </para>

      <para>The listing below is a basic step-by-step list. More information
      can be found in the sections below. Minimum versions will be
      included in parenthesis where appropriate.

    <section id="install-mysql">
      <title>MySQL</title>

      <para>Visit the MySQL homepage at 
      <ulink url="http://www.mysql.com"/>
      to grab and install the latest stable release of the server. 
      </para>
      
      <note>
        <para> Many of the binary
        versions of MySQL store their data files in 
        <filename class="directory">/var</filename>.
        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 <filename>configure</filename>
         if you build MySQL from source yourself.</para>
      </note>

      <para>If you install from something other than a packaging/installation
      system (such as .rpm, .dep, .exe, or .msi) you will need to configure
      your system so the MySQL server daemon will come back up whenever
      your machine reboots.
      </para>

      <para>If you wish to have attachments larger than 64K, you will have to
      configure MySQL to accept large packets. This is done by adding the text
      in <xref linkend="install-mysql-packets"/> to your
      <filename>my.conf</filename> file. There is also a parameter in Bugzilla
      for setting the maximum allowable attachment size.
      <!-- TODO: xref to a param() page for max attachment size -->
      You should set this value to be slightly larger than that parameter.
      </para>

      <figure id="install-mysql-packets">
        <title>Set Max Packet Size in MySQL</title>

        <programlisting>
[mysqld]
# Allow packets up to 1M
set-variable = max_allowed_packet=1M
        </programlisting>
      </figure>

      <para>If you are running Bugzilla and MySQL on the same machine, you may
      also wish to utilize the <option>skip-networking</option> option as
      mentioned in <xref linkend="security-mysql"/> for the added security.
      </para>
    </section>

    <section id="install-perl">
      <title>Perl</title>

      <para>Any machine that doesn't have Perl on it is a sad machine indeed.
      Perl can be got in source form from <ulink url="http://www.perl.com"/>.
      There are also binary versions available for many platforms, most of which
      are linked to from perl.com.
      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;.</para>
    </section>

    <section id="install-perlmodules">
      <title>Perl Modules</title>
      
      <para>Perl modules can be found using
      <glossterm linkend="gloss-cpan">CPAN</glossterm> on Unix based systems or
      <glossterm linkend="gloss-ppm">PPM</glossterm> on Win32. The root servers
      have a real tendency to bog down, so please use mirrors.
      </para>
    
      <para>Good instuctions can be found for using each of these services on
      their respective websites. The basics can be found in
      <xref linkend="install-perlmodules-cpan"/> for CPAN and
      <xref linkend="win32-perlmodules"/> for PPM.

      <tip>
        <para>Many people complain that Perl modules will not install for
        them. Most times, the error messages complain that they are missing a
        file in 
        <quote>@INC</quote>. 
        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 
        <emphasis>are</emphasis>
        the local UNIX sysadmin, please consult the newsgroup/mailing list
        for further assistance or hire someone to help you out.</para>

      <para>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:

      <para>
        <orderedlist>
          <listitem>
            <para>
            A complete file path to the command 'dot' (part of 
            <ulink url="http://www.graphviz.org/">GraphViz</ulink>) 
            will generate the graphs locally
            </para>

          <listitem>
            <para>
            A URL prefix pointing to an installation of the webdot package will
            generate the graphs remotely

          </listitem>
          <listitem>
            <para>

      <para>So, to get this working, install

      Alternatively, you could set up a webdot server, or use the AT&amp;T 
      public webdot server (the
      default for the webdotbase param). Note that AT&amp;T's server won't work
      if Bugzilla is only accessible using HARTS.

      <title>LDAP Authentication</title>

      <note>
        <para>LDAP authentication has been rewritten for the 2.18 release of
        Bugzilla. It no longer requires the Mozilla::LDAP module and now uses
        Net::LDAP instead. This rewrite was part of a larger landing that
        allowed for additional authentication schemes to be easily added
        (<ulink url="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=180642">bug
        180642</ulink>).
        </para>
        <![%bz-devel;[
          <para>This patch originally landed in 21-Mar-2003 and was included
          in the 2.17.4 development release.
          </para>
        ]]>
      </note>

      <para>
      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.
      </para>

      <caution>
        <para>Because the Bugzilla account is not created until the first time
        a user logs in, a user who has not yet logged is unknown to Bugzilla.
        This means they cannot be used as an assignee or QA contact (default or
        otherwise), added to any cc list, or any other such operation. One
        possible workaround is the <filename>bugzilla_ldapsync.rb</filename>
        script in the
        <glossterm linkend="gloss-contrib"><filename class="directory">contrib</filename></glossterm> directory. Another possible solution is fixing

    <section id="os-macosx">
      <title><productname>Mac OS X</productname></title>

      <para>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.</para>

      <para>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
      <ulink url="http://sourceforge.net/projects/fink/"/>.</para>

      <para>Follow the instructions for setting up Fink. Once it's installed,
      you'll want to use it to install the gd2 package.
      </para>

      <para>It will prompt you for a number of dependencies, type 'y' and hit
      enter to install all of the dependencies and then watch it work. You will
      then be able to use <glossterm linkend="gloss-cpan">CPAN</glossterm> to
      install the GD perl module.
      </para>

      <note>
        <para>To prevent creating conflicts with the software that Apple
        installs by default, Fink creates its own directory tree at 
        <filename class="directory">/sw</filename> where it installs most of
        the software that it installs. This means your libraries and headers be
        at <filename class="directory">/sw/lib</filename> and
        <filename class="directory">/sw/include</filename> instead of
        <filename class="directory">/usr/lib</filename> and
        <filename class="directory">/usr/local/include</filename>. When the
        Perl module config script asks where your libgd is, be sure to tell it
        <filename class="directory">/sw/lib</filename>.
        </para>
      </note>

      <para>Also available via Fink is expat. Once running using fink to
      install the expat package you will be able to install
      XML::Parser using CPAN. There is one caveat. Unlike recent versions of
      the GD module, XML::Parser doesn't prompt for the location of the
      required libraries. When using CPAN, you will need to use the following
      command sequence:
      </para>

      <screen>
# perl -MCPAN -e'look XML::Parser'        <co id="macosx-look"/>

        <callout arearefs="macosx-look macosx-exit">
          <para>The look command will download the module and spawn a

      <para>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 <filename>.htaccess</filename> files created by
      <command>./checksetup.pl</command> (shown in <xref linkend="http-apache-htaccess"/>

        <para>Many Apache installations are not configured to run scripts
        anywhere but in the <filename class="directory">cgi-bin</filename>

        files such as images and <xref linkend="gloss-javascript"/>
        will not work correctly. To allow scripts to run in the normal
        web space, the following changes should be made to your
        <filename>httpd.conf</filename> file.
        </para>

        <para>To allow <filename>.htaccess</filename> files to override

      and then continuing.
      </para>
      
      <para>
      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.
