Bugzilla Quick Start Guide
==========================
(or, how to get Bugzilla up and running in 10 steps)
Christian Reis <kiko@async.com.br>
This express installation guide is for "normal" Bugzilla installations,
which means a Linux or Unix system on which Apache, Perl, MySQL and
Sendmail are available. For other configurations, please see Section 4
of the Bugzilla Guide in the docs/ directory.
1. Decide from which URL and directory under your webserver root you
will be serving the Bugzilla webpages from.
2. Unpack distribution into the chosen directory (there is no copying or
installation involved).
3. Run ./checksetup.pl, look for unsolved requirements, install them.
You can run checksetup as many times as necessary to check if
everything required is installed.
This will usually include assorted Perl modules, MySQL and sendmail.
After a successful dependency check, checksetup should complain that
localconfig needs to be edited.
4. Edit the localconfig file, in particular the $webservergroup and
$db_* variables. In particular, $db_name and $db_user will define
your database setup in step 5.
If you want to change platforms, operating systems, severities and
priorities, this can also be done in localconfig at this time.
You should also update localconfig.js to reflect these changes. This
includes setting the URL you chose in step 1 as the 'bugzilla' JS
variable.
5. Using the name you provided as $db_name above, create a MySQL database
for Bugzilla. You should also create a user permission for the name
supplied as $db_user with read/write access to that database.
If you are not familiar with MySQL permissions, it's a good idea to
use the mysql_setpermission script that is installed with the MySQL
distribution, and be sure to read section 4.1.6 in the Bugzilla Guide.
6. Run checksetup.pl once more; if all goes well, it should set up the
Bugzilla database for you. If not, move back to step 5.
checksetup.pl should ask you, this time, for the administrator's
email address and password. These will be used for the initial
Bugzilla administrator account.
7. Configure Apache (or install and configure, if you don't have it up
yet) to point to the Bugzilla directory. You should enable and
activate mod_cgi, and add the configuration entries
Options +ExecCGI
AllowOverride Limit
DirectoryIndex index.cgi
to your Bugzilla <Directory> block. You may also need
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
if you don't have that in your Apache configuration file yet.
8. Visit the URL you chose for Bugzilla. Your browser should display the
default Bugzilla home page. You should then log in as the
administrator by following the "Log in" link and supplying the
account information you provided in step 6.
9. Scroll to the bottom of the page after logging in, and select
"parameters". Set up the relevant parameters for your local setup.
See section 4.2 of the Bugzilla Guide for a in-depth description of
some of the configuration parameters available.
10. That's it. If anything unexpected comes up:
- read the error message carefully,
- backtrack through the steps above,
- check the official installation guide, which is section 4 in the
Bugzilla Guide, included in the docs/ directory in various
formats.
Support and installation questions should be directed to the
mozilla-webtools@mozilla.org mailing list -- don't write to the
developer mailing list: your post *will* be ignored if you do.
