<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:

<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.

<section id="install-webserver">
<title>Web Server</title>
<para>Installed Version Test: view the default welcome page at
http://<your-machine>/</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,
visit <ulink url="http://httpd.apache.org/"/>.
</para>
</section>
<section id="install-bzfiles">
<title>Bugzilla</title>
<para>
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
until you run the
<filename>checksetup.pl</filename>
script, which locks down your installation.</para>
</section>
<section id="install-perlmodules">
<title>Perl Modules</title>
<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,
<emphasis>do not run it again</emphasis>,
but 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 "<modulename>"'</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
<emphasis>are</emphasis>
the local UNIX sysadmin, please consult the newsgroup/mailing list
for further assistance or hire someone to help you out.</para>
</tip>
<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
these packages will vary depending on the specific distribution you are using,
but are often called <filename><packagename>-devel</filename>.</para>

<para>The installation process will ask you a few questions about the
desired compilation target and your MySQL installation. For most of the
questions the provided default will be adequate, but when asked if your
desired target is the MySQL or mSQL packages, you should
select the MySQL-related ones. Later you will be asked if you wish to
provide backwards compatibility with the older MySQL packages; you
should answer YES to this question. The default is NO.</para>
<para>A host of 'localhost' should be fine. A testing user of 'test',

<section id="install-modules-gd">
<title>GD (&min-gd-ver;)</title>
<para>The GD module is only required if you want graphical reports.

The full requirements are listed in the Perl GD module README.
If compiling GD fails, it's probably because you're
missing a required library.</para>
</note>
<tip>
<para>The version of the GD module you need is very closely tied

<section id="install-MTA">
<title>Mail Transfer Agent (MTA)</title>
<para>Bugzilla is dependent on the availability of an e-mail system for its user
authentication and for other tasks. </para>
<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 that 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.
</para>
<para>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

There is also a parameter in Bugzilla called 'maxattachmentsize'
(default = 1000 Kb) that controls the maximum allowable attachment
size. Attachments larger than <emphasis>either</emphasis> the
'max_allowed_packet' or 'maxattachmentsize' value will not be
accepted by Bugzilla.

<title>Allow small words in full-text indexes</title>
<para>By default, words must be at least four characters in length
in order to be indexed by MySQL's full-text indexes. This causes
a lot of Bugzilla specific words to be missed, including "cc",
"ftp" and "uri".</para>
<para>MySQL can be configured to index those words by setting the
ft_min_word_len param to the minimum size of the words to index.
This can be done by modifying the <filename>/etc/my.cnf</filename>
according to the example below:</para>

<xref linkend="security-webserver-access"/>.
</para>
<section id="http-apache">
<title>Apache <productname>httpd</productname></title>
<para>
To configure your Apache web server to work with Bugzilla,
do the following:
</para>
<procedure>
<step>
<para>
Load <filename>httpd.conf</filename> in your editor.
In Fedora and Red Hat Linux, this file is found in
<filename class="directory">/etc/httpd/conf</filename>.
</para>
</step>
<step>
<para>
Apache uses <computeroutput><Directory></computeroutput>
directives to permit fine-grained permission setting. Add the
following lines to a directive that applies to the location
of your Bugzilla installation. (If such a section does not
exist, you'll want to add one.) In this example, Bugzilla has
been installed at
<filename class="directory">/var/www/html/bugzilla</filename>.
</para>
<programlisting>
<Directory /var/www/html/bugzilla>
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Options +Indexes +ExecCGI
DirectoryIndex index.cgi
AllowOverride Limit
</Directory>
</programlisting>
<para>
These instructions: allow apache to run .cgi files found
within the bugzilla directory; instructs the server to look
for a file called <filename>index.cgi</filename> if someone
only types the directory name into the browser; and allows
Bugzilla's <filename>.htaccess</filename> files to override
global permissions.
</para>
<note>
<para>
It is possible to make these changes globally, or to the
directive controlling Bugzilla's parent directory (e.g.
<computeroutput><Directory /var/www/html/></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>
</note>
</step>
<step>
<para>
<filename>checksetup.pl</filename> can set tighter permissions
on Bugzilla's files and directories if it knows what group the
webserver runs as. Find the <computeroutput>Group</computeroutput>
line in <filename>httpd.conf</filename>, place the value found
there in the <replaceable>$webservergroup</replaceable> variable
in <filename>localconfig</filename>, then rerun
<filename>checksetup.pl</filename>.
</para>
</step>
<step>
<para>
Optional: If Bugzilla does not actually reside in the webspace
directory, but instead has been symbolically linked there, you
will need to add the following to the
<computeroutput>Options</computeroutput> line of the Bugzilla
<computeroutput><Directory></computeroutput> directive
(the same one as in the step above):
</para>
<programlisting>
+FollowSymLinks
</programlisting>
<para>
Without this directive, Apache will not follow symbolic links
to places outside its own directory structure, and you will be
unable to run Bugzilla.

</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://<yourdomainname>/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>
<full path to perl.exe >\perl.exe -x<full path to Bugzilla> -wT "%s" %s
</programlisting>
<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
<filename class="directory">data</filename> directory are
secured as described in <xref linkend="security-webserver-access"/>.

do that, you need to
<ulink url="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/mod_imap.html">enable
server-side image maps</ulink> in Apache.
Alternatively, you could set up a webdot server, or use the AT&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. 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
<ulink url="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=201069">bug
201069</ulink>.

<para>Parameters required to use LDAP Authentication:</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry id="param-loginmethod">
<term>loginmethod</term>
<listitem>
<para>This parameter should be set to <quote>LDAP</quote>
<emphasis>only</emphasis> if you will be using an LDAP directory
for authentication. If you set this param to <quote>LDAP</quote> but
fail to set up the other parameters listed below you will not be
able to log back in to Bugzilla one you log out. If this happens
to you, you will need to manually edit
<filename>data/params</filename> and set loginmethod to
<quote>DB</quote>.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry id="param-LDAPserver">
<term>LDAPserver</term>
<listitem>
<para>This parameter should be set to the name (and optionally the
port) of your LDAP server. If no port is specified, it assumes
the default LDAP port of 389.
</para>
<para>Ex. <quote>ldap.company.com</quote>
or <quote>ldap.company.com:3268</quote>
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry id="param-LDAPbinddn">
<term>LDAPbinddn [Optional]</term>
<listitem>
<para>Some LDAP servers will not allow an anonymous bind to search
the directory. If this is the case with your configuration you
should set the LDAPbinddn parameter to the user account Bugzilla
should use instead of the anonymous bind.
</para>
<para>Ex. <quote>cn=default,cn=user:password</quote></para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry id="param-LDAPBaseDN">
<term>LDAPBaseDN</term>
<listitem>
<para>The LDAPBaseDN parameter should be set to the location in
your LDAP tree that you would like to search for email addresses.
Your uids should be unique under the DN specified here.
</para>
<para>Ex. <quote>ou=People,o=Company</quote></para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry id="param-LDAPuidattribute">
<term>LDAPuidattribute</term>
<listitem>
<para>The LDAPuidattribute parameter should be set to the attribute
which contains the unique UID of your users. The value retrieved
from this attribute will be used when attempting to bind as the
user to confirm their password.
</para>
<para>Ex. <quote>uid</quote></para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry id="param-LDAPmailattribute">
<term>LDAPmailattribute</term>
<listitem>
<para>The LDAPmailattribute parameter should be the name of the
attribute which contains the email address your users will enter
into the Bugzilla login boxes.
</para>
<para>Ex. <quote>mail</quote></para>

<title>Serving Alternate Formats with the right MIME type</title>
<para>
Some Bugzilla pages have alternate formats, other than just plain
<acronym>HTML</acronym>. In particular, a few Bugzilla pages can
output their contents as either <acronym>XUL</acronym> (a special
Mozilla format, that looks like a program <acronym>GUI</acronym>)
or <acronym>RDF</acronym> (a type of structured <acronym>XML</acronym>
that can be read by various programs).
</para>
<para>
In order for your users to see these pages correctly, Apache must
send them with the right <acronym>MIME</acronym> type. To do this,
add the following lines to your Apache configuration, either in the
<computeroutput><VirtualHost></computeroutput> section for your
Bugzilla, or in the <computeroutput><Directory></computeroutput>
section for your Bugzilla:
</para>
<para>
<screen>AddType application/vnd.mozilla.xul+xml .xul

<title>OS-Specific Installation Notes</title>
<para>Many aspects of the Bugzilla installation can be affected by the
the operating system you choose to install it on. Sometimes it can be made
easier and others more difficult. This section will attempt to help you
understand both the difficulties of running on specific operating systems
and the utilities available to make it easier.

covered, please file a bug in &bzg-bugs;.

<title>Microsoft Windows</title>
<para>
Making Bugzilla work on Windows is more difficult than making it
work on Unix. For that reason, we still recommend doing so on a Unix
based system such as GNU/Linux. That said, if you do want to get
Bugzilla running on Windows, you will need to make the following
adjustments.
</para>
<section id="win32-perl">
<title>Win32 Perl</title>
<para>
Perl for Windows can be obtained from
<ulink url="http://www.activestate.com/">ActiveState</ulink>.
You should be able to find a compiled binary at <ulink
url="http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Downloads/ActivePerl/" />.
The following instructions assume that you are using version
5.8.1 of ActiveState.

<title>Perl Modules on Win32</title>
<para>
Bugzilla on Windows requires the same perl modules found in
<xref linkend="install-perlmodules"/>. The main difference is that
windows uses <glossterm linkend="gloss-ppm">PPM</glossterm> instead
of CPAN.
</para>
<programlisting>
C:\perl> <command>ppm install <module name></command>
</programlisting>
<para>
The best source for the Windows PPM modules needed for Bugzilla
is probably the the Bugzilla Test Server (aka 'Landfill'), so
you should add the Landfill package repository as follows:
</para>
<programlisting>
<command>ppm repository add landfill http://www.landfill.bugzilla.org/ppm/</command>
</programlisting>
<note>
<para>
The PPM repository stores modules in 'packages' that may have
a slightly different name than the module. If retrieving these
modules from there, you will need to pay attention to the information
provided when you run <command>checksetup.pl</command> as it will
tell you what package you'll need to install.
</para>
</note>
<tip>
<para>
If you are behind a corporate firewall, you will need to let the
ActiveState PPM utility know how to get through it to acccess
the repositories by setting the HTTP_proxy system environmental
variable. For more information on setting that variable, see
the ActiveState documentation.
