Bugzilla installation

Reference
bugzilla.org
Download the latest Stable Release
# cd /usr/local/src
# wget http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/webtools/bugzilla-3.0.3.tar.gz
# tar xzf bugzilla-3.0.3.tar.gz
# cd bugzilla-3.0.3
First,run the checksetup.pl script to check for any dependant packages that need to be installed
# ./checksetup.pl --check-modules
NOTE: You must run any commands listed below as root.
***********************************************************************
* REQUIRED MODULES *
***********************************************************************
* Bugzilla requires you to install some Perl modules which are either *
* missing from your system, or the version on your system is too old. *
* *
* The latest versions of each module can be installed by running the *
* commands below. *
***********************************************************************
COMMANDS:
/usr/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'install "Email::Send"'
/usr/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'install "Template"'
/usr/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'install "Email::MIME::Modifier"'
/usr/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'install "Date::Format"'
So run one by one
# /usr/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'install "Email::Send"'
Fine
# /usr/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'install "Template"'
Fine
# /usr/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'install "Email::MIME::Modifier"'
Fine
# /usr/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'install "Date::Format"
Fine
Now configure Database and Apache settings
# cd /usr/local/src/bugzilla-3.0.3
# vi localconfig

$create_htaccess = 1;
$webservergroup = 'nobody';
$db_driver = 'mysql';
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_name = 'bugs';
$db_user = 'bugs';
$db_pass = 'secret';
$db_port = 3306;
$db_sock = '/tmp/mysql.sock';
$db_check = 1;
$index_html = 0;
$cvsbin = '/usr/bin/cvs';
$interdiffbin = '/usr/bin/interdiff';
$diffpath = '/usr/bin';

Re-run checksetup.pl
# ./checksetup.pl
Now it will create the database and WebServer data like .htaccess files.
MySQL
Allow large attachments
# vi /etc/my.cnf
max_allowed_packet=1M
Allow small words in full-text indexes
ft_min_word_len=2
Add a user to MySQL
# mysql -u root -pmysql
mysql> GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, INDEX, ALTER, CREATE, LOCK TABLES, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, DROP, REFERENCES ON bugs.* TO bugs@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'secret';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.04 sec)
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)
Configure Apache
First create a soft link to Bugzilla in your WebServer's DocumentRoot
# cd /var/www/html
# ln -s /usr/local/src/bugzilla-3.0.3 bugzilla
# vi /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Options +Indexes +ExecCGI
DirectoryIndex index.cgi
AllowOverride Limit

# /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl restart
Now it should up at http://localhost/bugzilla
