  <title>Installing Bugzilla</title>

  <section id="installation">
    <title>Installation</title>

    <note>
      <para>If you just want to <emphasis>use</emphasis> Bugzilla, 
      you do not need to install it. None of this chapter is relevant to
      you. Ask your Bugzilla administrator
      for the URL to access it over the web.
      </para>
    </note>

    <para>The Bugzilla server software is usually installed on Linux or 
    Solaris. 
    If you are installing on another OS, check <xref linkend="os-specific"/>
    before you start your installation to see if there are any special
    instructions.
    </para>

    <para>
      As an alternative to following these instructions, you may wish to
      try Arne Schirmacher's unofficial and unsupported 
      <ulink url="http://www.softwaretesting.de/article/view/33/1/8/">Bugzilla
      Installer</ulink>, which installs Bugzilla and all its prerequisites
      on Linux or Solaris systems.
    </para>

    <para>This guide assumes that you have administrative access to the
    Bugzilla machine. It not possible to
    install and run Bugzilla itself without administrative access except
    in the very unlikely event that every single prerequisite is
    already installed.
    </para>

    <warning>
      <para>The installation process may make your machine insecure for
      short periods of time. Make sure there is a firewall between you
      and the Internet.
      </para>
    </warning>

    <para>
    You are strongly recommended to make a backup of your system
    before installing Bugzilla (and at regular intervals thereafter :-).
    </para>

    <para>In outline, the installation proceeds as follows:
    </para>

    <procedure>
      <step>
        <para><link linkend="install-perl">Install Perl</link>
        (&min-perl-ver; or above for non-Windows platforms; &min-perl-ver-win;
        for Windows)
        </para>

        </para>

      <step>
        <para>Configure all of the above.
        </para>
      </step>
    </procedure>

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

      <para>Installed Version Test: <filename>perl -v</filename></para>
      
      <para>Any machine that doesn't have Perl on it is a sad machine indeed.
      If you don't have it and your OS doesn't provide official packages, 
      visit <ulink url="http://www.perl.com"/>.
      Although Bugzilla runs with Perl &min-perl-ver;,
      it's a good idea to be using the latest stable version.
      </para>
    </section>

    <section id="install-database">
      <title>Database Engine</title>
      
      <para>From Bugzilla 2.20, support is included for using both the MySQL and
      PostgreSQL database servers. You only require one of these systems to make
      use of Bugzilla.</para>

      <section id="install-mysql">
          <title>MySQL</title>
          <para>Installed Version Test: <filename>mysql -V</filename></para>
      
          <para>
          If you don't have it and your OS doesn't provide official packages, 
          visit <ulink url="http://www.mysql.com"/>. You need MySQL version
          &min-mysql-ver; or higher.
          </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. To change the data
            directory, you have to build MySQL from source yourself, and
            set it as an option to <filename>configure</filename>.</para>
          </note> 
           
          <para>If you install from something other than a packaging/installation
          system, such as .rpm (Redhat Package), .deb (Debian Package), .exe
          (Windows Executable), or .msi (Microsoft Installer), make sure the MySQL
          server is started when the machine boots.
          </para>

      <section id="install-pg">

          <para>
          If you don't have it and your OS doesn't provide official packages, 
          visit <ulink url="http://www.postgresql.org/"/>. You need PostgreSQL
          version &min-pg-ver; or higher.
          </para>
           
          <para>If you install from something other than a packaging/installation
          system, such as .rpm (Redhat Package), .deb (Debian Package), .exe
          (Windows Executable), or .msi (Microsoft Installer), make sure the
          PostgreSQL server is started when the machine boots.

    <section id="install-webserver">
      <title>Web Server</title>

      <para>Installed Version Test: view the default welcome page at
      http://&lt;your-machine&gt;/</para>
      
      <para>You have freedom of choice here, pretty much any web server that
      is capable of running <glossterm linkend="gloss-cgi">CGI</glossterm>
      scripts will work.
       However, we strongly recommend using the Apache web server
       (either 1.3.x or 2.x), and 
       the installation instructions usually assume you are
        using it. If you have got Bugzilla working using another webserver,
        please share your experiences with us by filing a bug in &bzg-bugs;.
      </para>
      
      <para>
      If you don't have Apache and your OS doesn't provide official packages,

        Download a Bugzilla tarball (or check it out from CVS) and place
        it in a suitable directory, accessible by the default web server user 
        (probably <quote>apache</quote> or <quote>www</quote>). 
        Good locations are either directly in the main web space for your
        web server or perhaps in 
        <filename>/usr/local</filename>
        with a symbolic link from the web space.
      </para>

      <caution>
        <para>The default Bugzilla distribution is NOT designed to be placed
        in a <filename class="directory">cgi-bin</filename> directory. This
        includes any directory which is configured using the
        <option>ScriptAlias</option> directive of Apache.
        </para>
      </caution>
      
      <para>Once all the files are in a web accessible directory, make that
      directory writable by your webserver's user. This is a temporary step

      script, which locks down your installation.</para>

      <para>Bugzilla's installation process is based
      on a script called <filename>checksetup.pl</filename>. 
      The first thing it checks is whether you have appropriate 
      versions of all the required
      Perl modules. The aim of this section is to pass this check. 
      When it passes, proceed to <xref linkend="configuration"/>.
      </para>
      
      <para>
      At this point, you need to <filename>su</filename> to root. You should
      remain as root until the end of the install. To check you have the
      required modules, run:
      </para>
      
      <screen><prompt>bash#</prompt> ./checksetup.pl --check-modules</screen>
 
      <para>
        <filename>checksetup.pl</filename> will print out a list of the
        required and optional Perl modules, together with the versions
        (if any) installed on your machine.
        The list of required modules is reasonably long; however, you 
        may already have several of them installed.
      </para>
      
      <para>
        There is a meta-module called Bundle::Bugzilla, 
        which installs all the other 
        modules with a single command. You should use this if you are running
        Perl 5.6.1 or above.
      </para>
      
      <para>
        The preferred way of installing Perl modules is via CPAN on Unix, 
        or PPM on Windows (see <xref linkend="win32-perl-modules"/>). These
        instructions assume you are using CPAN; if for some reason you need 
        to install the Perl modules manually, see 
        <xref linkend="install-perlmodules-manual"/>.
      </para>  
        
      <screen><prompt>bash#</prompt> perl -MCPAN -e 'install "&lt;modulename&gt;"'</screen>

      <para>
        If you using Bundle::Bugzilla, invoke the magic CPAN command on it.
        Otherwise, you need to work down the 
        list of modules that <filename>checksetup.pl</filename> says are
        required, in the order given, invoking the command on each.
      </para>
      
      <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

      <note>
        <para>If you are using a package-based system, and attempting to install the
        Perl modules from CPAN, you may need to install the "development" packages for
        MySQL and GD before attempting to install the related Perl modules. The names of

          This is not entirely true.  It is possible to completely disable

      <para>
        On Linux, any Sendmail-compatible MTA (Mail Transfer Agent) will 
        suffice.  Sendmail, Postfix, qmail and Exim are examples of common 
        MTAs. Sendmail is the original Unix MTA, but the others are easier to 
        configure, and therefore many people replace Sendmail with Postfix or 
        Exim. They are drop-in replacements, so Bugzilla will not 
        distinguish between them.
      </para>

      <para>
        If you are using Sendmail, version 8.7 or higher is required.
        If you are using a Sendmail-compatible MTA, it must be congruent with 
        at least version 8.7 of Sendmail.

        Consult the manual for the specific MTA you choose for detailed 
        installation instructions. Each of these programs will have their own 
        configuration files where you must configure certain parameters to 
        ensure that the mail is delivered properly. They are implemented 
        as services, and you should ensure that the MTA is in the auto-start 
        list of services for the machine.

        If a simple mail sent with the command-line 'mail' program

          <para>
            By default, MySQL will limit the size of a table to 4GB.
            This limit is present even if the underlying filesystem
            has no such limit.  To set a higher limit, follow these
            instructions.
          </para>

          <para>
            After you have completed the rest of the installation (or at least the
            database setup parts), you should run the <filename>MySQL</filename>
            command-line client and enter the following, replacing <literal>$bugs_db</literal>
            with your Bugzilla database name (<emphasis>bugs</emphasis> by default):
          </para>

          <screen>

          </screen>

          <para>
            The above command will change the limit to 20GB. Mysql will have 
            to make a temporary copy of your entire table to do this. Ideally, 
            you should do this when your attachments table is still small. 
          </para>

            <para>
              This does not affect Big Files, attachments that are stored directly

          <para>You need to add a new user to PostgreSQL for the Bugzilla
          application to use when accessing the database. The following instructions
          assume the defaults in <filename>localconfig</filename>; if you
          changed those, you need to modify the commands appropriately. You will
          need the <replaceable>$db_pass</replaceable> password you

          <xref linkend="localconfig"/>.</para>

          '127.0.0.1' to 'all' databases on this server from the 'bugs' user, and use
          password authentication (md5) for that user.</para>

          <para>Now, you will need to restart PostgreSQL, but you will need to fully
          stop and start the server rather than just restarting due to the possibility
          of a change to <filename>postgresql.conf</filename>. After the server has
          restarted, you will need to edit <filename>localconfig</filename>, finding
          the <literal>$db_driver</literal> variable and setting it to
          <literal>Pg</literal> and changing the password in <literal>$db_pass</literal>

      <para>
        Next, rerun <filename>checksetup.pl</filename>. It reconfirms
        that all the modules are present, and notices the altered 
        localconfig file, which it assumes you have edited to your
        satisfaction. It compiles the UI templates,
        connects to the database using the 'bugs'
        user you created and the password you defined, and creates the 
        'bugs' database and the tables therein. 
      </para>

      <para>
        After that, it asks for details of an administrator account. Bugzilla
        can have multiple administrators - you can create more later - but
        it needs one to start off with.
        Enter the email address of an administrator, his or her full name, 
        and a suitable Bugzilla password.

          <step>
            <para>
              Apache uses <computeroutput>&lt;Directory&gt;</computeroutput>

              of your Bugzilla installation. (If such a section does not
              exist, you'll want to add one.) In this example, Bugzilla has

              <filename class="directory">/var/www/html/bugzilla</filename>.
            </para>

              These instructions: allow apache to run .cgi files found

                It is possible to make these changes globally, or to the

                <computeroutput>&lt;Directory /var/www/html/&gt;</computeroutput>).
                Such changes would also apply to the Bugzilla directory...
                but they would also apply to many other places where they
                may or may not be appropriate. In most cases, including
                this one, it is better to be as restrictive as possible
                when granting extra access.

        </para>

        <para>
          You will need to create a virtual directory for the Bugzilla
          install.  Put the Bugzilla files in a directory that is named
          something <emphasis>other</emphasis> than what you want your
          end-users accessing.  That is, if you want your users to access
          your Bugzilla installation through 
          <quote>http://&lt;yourdomainname&gt;/Bugzilla</quote>, then do
          <emphasis>not</emphasis> put your Bugzilla files in a directory
          named <quote>Bugzilla</quote>.  Instead, place them in a different
          location, and then use the IIS Administration tool to create a
          Virtual Directory named "Bugzilla" that acts as an alias for the
          actual location of the files.  When creating that virtual directory,
          make sure you add the <quote>Execute (such as ISAPI applications or
          CGI)</quote> access permission.
        </para>

        <para>
          You will also need to tell IIS how to handle Bugzilla's
          .cgi files. Using the IIS Administration tool again, open up
          the properties for the new virtual directory and select the
          Configuration option to access the Script Mappings. Create an
          entry mapping .cgi to:
        </para>

        <programlisting>
&lt;full path to perl.exe &gt;\perl.exe -x&lt;full path to Bugzilla&gt; -wT "%s" %s

        <para>
          For example:
        </para>

        <programlisting>
c:\perl\bin\perl.exe -xc:\bugzilla -wT "%s" %s
        </programlisting>

        <note>
          <para>
            The ActiveState install may have already created an entry for
            .pl files that is limited to <quote>GET,HEAD,POST</quote>. If
            so, this mapping should be <emphasis>removed</emphasis> as
            Bugzilla's .pl files are not designed to be run via a webserver.
          </para>
        </note>

        <para>
          IIS will also need to know that the index.cgi should be treated
          as a default document.  On the Documents tab page of the virtual
          directory properties, you need to add index.cgi as a default
          document type.  If you  wish, you may remove the other default
          document types for this particular virtual directory, since Bugzilla 
          doesn't use any of them.
        </para>

        <para>
          Also, and this can't be stressed enough, make sure that files
          such as <filename>localconfig</filename> and your

          secured as described in <xref linkend="security-webserver-access"/>.

      <para>As well as the text-based dependency trees, Bugzilla also
      supports a graphical view of dependency relationships, using a

      Exactly how this works is controlled by the 'webdotbase' parameter,
      which can have one of three values:
      </para>

      <para>
        <orderedlist>
          <listitem>
            <para>

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

      </para>
      
      <para>The easiest way to get this working is to install
      <ulink url="http://www.graphviz.org/">GraphViz</ulink>. If you
      do that, you need to
      <ulink url="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_imap.html">enable

      Alternatively, you could set up a webdot server, or use the AT&amp;T 
      public webdot server. This is the default for the webdotbase param,

      <title>LDAP Authentication</title>

      <para>LDAP authentication is a module for Bugzilla's plugin 
      authentication architecture.
      </para>

      <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. Bugzilla tries to bind to LDAP using
      those credentials, and if successful, try to map this account to a
      Bugzilla account. If a  LDAP mail attribute is defined, the value of this
      attribute is used, otherwise emailsuffix parameter is appended to LDAP
      username to form a full 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

    <title>Multiple Bugzilla databases with a single installation</title>

    <para>The previous instructions refered to a standard installation, with
      one unique Bugzilla database. However, you may want to host several
      distinct installations, without having several copies of the code. This is
      possible by using the PROJECT environment variable. When accessed,
      Bugzilla checks for the existence of this variable, and if present, uses
      its value to check for an alternative configuration file named
      <filename>localconfig.&lt;PROJECT&gt;</filename> in the same location as
      the default one (<filename>localconfig</filename>). It also checks for
      customized templates in a directory named
      <filename>&lt;PROJECT&gt;</filename> in the same location as the
      default one (<filename>template/&lt;langcode&gt;</filename>). By default
      this is <filename>template/en/default</filename> so PROJECT's templates
      would be located at <filename>template/en/PROJECT</filename>.</para> 

      <para>To set up an alternate installation, just export PROJECT=foo before
      running <command>checksetup.pl</command> for the first time. It will
      result in a file called <filename>localconfig.foo</filename> instead of
      <filename>localconfig</filename>. Edit this file as described above, with
      reference to a new database, and re-run <command>checksetup.pl</command>
      to populate it. That's all.</para>

    <para>Now you have to configure the web server to pass this environment
      variable when accessed via an alternate URL, such as virtual host for
      instance. The following is an example of how you could do it in Apache,
      other Webservers may differ.
<programlisting>
&lt;VirtualHost 212.85.153.228:80&gt;
    ServerName foo.bar.baz
    SetEnv PROJECT foo
    Alias /bugzilla /var/www/bugzilla
&lt;/VirtualHost&gt;
</programlisting>
    </para>

    <para>Don't forget to also export this variable before accessing Bugzilla
       by other means, such as cron tasks for instance.</para>

      <para>If you are running a *NIX OS as non-root, either due
      to lack of access (web hosts, for example) or for security
      reasons, this will detail how to install Bugzilla on such
      a setup. It is recommended that you read through the

      <title>MySQL</title>

      <para>You may have MySQL installed as root. If you're
      setting up an account with a web host, a MySQL account
      needs to be set up for you. From there, you can create
      the bugs account, or use the account given to you.</para>

      <warning>
        <para>You may have problems trying to set up
        <command>GRANT</command> permissions to the database.
        If you're using a web host, chances are that you have a
        separate database which is already locked down (or one big
        database with limited/no access to the other areas), but you
        may want to ask your system administrator what the security
        settings are set to, and/or run the <command>GRANT</command>
        command for you.</para>

        <para>Also, you will probably not be able to change the MySQL
        root user password (for obvious reasons), so skip that
        step.</para>

            Build it with PREFIX set to <filename class="directory">/home/foo/mysql</filename>,
            or use pre-installed executables, specifying that you want
            to put all of the data files in <filename class="directory">/home/foo/mysql/data</filename>.
            If there is another MySQL server running on the system that you

    <section>
      <title>Perl</title>

      <para>On the extremely rare chance that you don't have Perl on
      the machine, you will have to build the sources
      yourself. The following commands should get your system
      installed with your own personal version of Perl:</para>

      <screen>
        <prompt>bash$</prompt>
        <command>wget http://perl.com/CPAN/src/stable.tar.gz</command>
        <prompt>bash$</prompt>
        <command>tar zvxf stable.tar.gz</command>
        <prompt>bash$</prompt>
        <command>cd perl-5.8.1</command> (or whatever the version of Perl is called)
        <prompt>bash$</prompt>
        <command>sh Configure -de -Dprefix=/home/foo/perl</command>
        <prompt>bash$</prompt>
        <command>make &amp;&amp; make test &amp;&amp; make install</command>
      </screen>

      <para>Once you have Perl installed into a directory (probably
      in <filename class="directory">~/perl/bin</filename>), you'll have to
      change the locations on the scripts, which is detailed later on
      this page.</para>
    </section>

    <section id="install-perlmodules-nonroot">
      <title>Perl Modules</title>

      <para>Installing the Perl modules as a non-root user is probably the
      hardest part of the process. There are two different methods: a
      completely independant Perl with its own modules, or personal
      modules using the current (root installed) version of Perl. The
      independant method takes up quite a bit of disk space, but is
      less complex, while the mixed method only uses as much space as the
      modules themselves, but takes more work to setup.</para>

      <section>
        <title>The Independant Method</title>

        <para>The independant method requires that you install your own
        personal version of Perl, as detailed in the previous section. Once
        installed, you can start the CPAN shell with the following
        command:</para>

        <para>
          <screen>
            <prompt>bash$</prompt>
            <command>/home/foo/perl/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'shell'</command>
          </screen>
        </para>

        <para>And then:</para>

        <para>
          <screen>
            <prompt>cpan&gt;</prompt>
            <command>install Bundle::Bugzilla</command>
          </screen>
        </para>

        <para>With this method, module installation will usually go a lot
        smoother, but if you have any hang-ups, you can consult the next
        section.</para>
      </section>

      <section>
        <title>The Mixed Method</title>

        <para>First, you'll need to configure CPAN to
        install modules in your home directory. The CPAN FAQ says the
        following on this issue:</para>

        <para>
          <programlisting>
5)  I am not root, how can I install a module in a personal directory?

    You will most probably like something like this:

      o conf makepl_arg "LIB=~/myperl/lib \
                         INSTALLMAN1DIR=~/myperl/man/man1 \
                         INSTALLMAN3DIR=~/myperl/man/man3"
    install Sybase::Sybperl

    You can make this setting permanent like all "o conf" settings with "o conf commit".

    You will have to add ~/myperl/man to the MANPATH environment variable and also tell your Perl programs to
    look into ~/myperl/lib, e.g. by including

      use lib "$ENV{HOME}/myperl/lib";

    or setting the PERL5LIB environment variable.

    Another thing you should bear in mind is that the UNINST parameter should never be set if you are not root.</programlisting>
        </para>

        <para>So, you will need to create a Perl directory in your home
        directory, as well as the <filename class="directory">lib</filename>,
        <filename class="directory">man</filename>,
        <filename class="directory">man/man1</filename>, and
        <filename class="directory">man/man3</filename> directories in that
        Perl directory. Set the MANPATH variable and PERL5LIB variable, so
        that the installation of the modules goes smoother. (Setting
        UNINST=0 in your "make install" options, on the CPAN first-time
        configuration, is also a good idea.)</para>

        <para>After that, go into the CPAN shell:</para>

        <para>
          <screen>
            <prompt>bash$</prompt>
            <command>perl -MCPAN -e 'shell'</command>
          </screen>
        </para>

        <para>From there, you will need to type in the above "o conf" command
        and commit the changes. Then you can run through the installation:</para>

        <para>
          <screen>
            <prompt>cpan&gt;</prompt>
            <command>install Bundle::Bugzilla</command>
          </screen>
        </para>

        <para>Most of the module installation process should go smoothly. However,
        you may have some problems with Template. When you first start, you will
        want to try to install Template with the XS Stash options on. If this
        doesn't work, it may spit out C compiler error messages and croak back
        to the CPAN shell prompt. So, redo the install, and turn it off. (In fact,
        say no to all of the Template questions.) It may also start failing on a
        few of the tests. If the total tests passed is a reasonable figure (90+%),
        force the install with the following command:</para>

        <para>
          <screen>
            <prompt>cpan&gt;</prompt>
            <command>force install Template</command>
          </screen>
        </para>

        <para>You may also want to install the other optional modules:</para>

        <screen>
          <prompt>cpan&gt;</prompt>
          <command>install GD</command>
          <prompt>cpan&gt;</prompt>
          <command>install Chart::Base</command>
          <prompt>cpan&gt;</prompt>
          <command>install MIME::Parser</command>
        </screen>

      </section>
    </section>

    <section>
      <title>HTTP Server</title>

      <para>Ideally, this also needs to be installed as root and
      run under a special webserver account. As long as
      the web server will allow the running of *.cgi files outside of a
      cgi-bin, and a way of denying web access to certain files (such as a
      .htaccess file), you should be good in this department.</para>

      <section>
        <title>Running Apache as Non-Root</title>

        <para>You can run Apache as a non-root user, but the port will need
        to be set to one above 1024. If you type <command>httpd -V</command>,
        you will get a list of the variables that your system copy of httpd
        uses. One of those, namely HTTPD_ROOT, tells you where that
        installation looks for its config information.</para>

        <para>From there, you can copy the config files to your own home
        directory to start editing. When you edit those and then use the -d
        option to override the HTTPD_ROOT compiled into the web server, you
        get control of your own customized web server.</para>

        <note>
          <para>You will need to start the daemons yourself. You can either
          ask your system administrator to add them to system startup files, or
          add a crontab entry that runs a script to check on these daemons
          and restart them if needed.</para>
        </note>

        <warning>
          <para>Do NOT run daemons or other services on a server without first
          consulting your system administrator! Daemons use up system resources
          and running one may be in violation of your terms of service for any
          machine on which you are a user!</para>
        </warning>
      </section>
    </section>

    <section>
      <title>Bugzilla</title>

      <para>If you had to install Perl modules as a non-root user
      (<xref linkend="install-perlmodules-nonroot" />) or to non-standard
      directories, you will need to change the scripts, setting the correct
      location of the Perl modules:</para>

      <para>
        <programlisting>perl -pi -e
        's@use strict\;@use strict\; use lib \"/home/foo/perl/lib\"\;@'
        *cgi *pl Bug.pm processmail syncshadowdb</programlisting>

        Change <filename class="directory">/home/foo/perl/lib</filename> to
        your personal Perl library directory. You can probably skip this
        step if you are using the independant method of Perl module
        installation.
      </para>

      <para>When you run <command>./checksetup.pl</command> to create
      the <filename>localconfig</filename> file, it will list the Perl
      modules it finds. If one is missing, go back and double-check the
      module installation from the CPAN shell, then delete the
      <filename>localconfig</filename> file and try again.</para>

      <warning>
        <para>The one option in <filename>localconfig</filename> you
        might have problems with is the web server group. If you can't
        successfully browse to the <filename>index.cgi</filename> (like
        a Forbidden error), you may have to relax your permissions,
        and blank out the web server group. Of course, this may pose
        as a security risk. Having a properly jailed shell and/or
        limited access to shell accounts may lessen the security risk,
        but use at your own risk.</para>
