Bugzilla Install

First grab bugzilla.

cd /var/www/html

wget the file using the url from http://www.bugzilla.org/download/#stable

tar xzf "that file"

mv "that directory" bugzilla

cd bugzilla

Run: ./checksetup.pl

That will tell you a few things you need to install and a few optional things. Typically you can just install the things you need and skip the optional bits. That will involve installing CPAN modules. e.g. /usr/bin/perl -MCPAN -e 'install "MIME::Parser"'

Create a mysql user per http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/2.22/html/configuration.html#install-setupdatabase-adduser. You may need to first startup mysql (/etc/init.d/mysqld start); set it to run on boot up (chkconfig --level 35 mysqld on) and set a root mysql user password (mysqladmin password somepwhere).

Re-run ./checksetup.pl

That should create a localconfig file. Edit that file to set the db_pass to the password you set when creating the mysql user.

Re-run ./checksetup.pl. That should create the database tables and users you need. And setup an admin password for the install.

Add something like this to your apache config:

<Directory /var/www/html/bugzilla>
  AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
  Options +Indexes +ExecCGI
  DirectoryIndex index.cgi
  AllowOverride Limit
</Directory>

Then browse to http://yourip/bugzilla

Or if you get stuck just pop in a support ticket and one of the RimuHosting sysadmins can get this going for you.
