6. Execute bugzilla install-module.pl

As suggested by the output of the checksetup.pl, you can execute the install-module.pl to install

all bugzilla required and optional perl modules.

Please review the output of the above install-module.pl to make sure everything got install

properly. There is a possibility that some of the modules failed to install (may be because some

required OS packages were missing).

Execute the checksetup.pl to verify whether all the modules got installed properly.

Following is the output of 2nd run of the checksetup.pl:

COMMANDS TO INSTALL REQUIRED MODULES (You *must* run all these commands and then re-

run checksetup.pl):

5/23



7. Install missing Perl Modules

As we see from the above checksetup.pl output, some of the optional modules and required

module installed was not completed when we ran the install-module.pl.

So, we have to install the missing modules manually one-by-one to figure out the issues and fix

it one-by-one.

Refer to the Troubleshooting Section at the end for list of all the issues that I faced while

installing the perl modules required for bugzilla (along with the solution on how to fix those

issues).

8. Final checksetup.pl check-modules verification

Execute checksetup.pl check-modules again as shown below as final verification to make sure

all the modules got installed successfully.

XML-Twig: /usr/bin/perl install-module.pl XML::Twig

PerlMagick: /usr/bin/perl install-module.pl Image::Magick

SOAP-Lite: /usr/bin/perl install-module.pl SOAP::Lite

mod_perl: /usr/bin/perl install-module.pl mod_perl2

# ./checksetup.pl

Reading ./localconfig...

This version of Bugzilla contains some variables that you may want to

change and adapt to your local settings. Please edit the file

./localconfig and rerun checksetup.pl.

The following variables are new to ./localconfig since you last ran

checksetup.pl: create_htaccess, webservergroup, db_driver, db_host, db_name, db_user,

db_pass, db_port, db_sock, db_check, index_html, cvsbin, interdiffbin, diffpath,


7/23



10. Modify the localconfig file.

The only thing you need to modify the localconfig file is MySQL database db password by

changing the $db_pass variable as shown below.

11. Modify /etc/my.cnf to increase bugzilla attachment size

Set the max_allowed_packet to 4M in the /etc/my.cnf to increase bugzilla attachment size.

Restart the mysqld after this change.

12. Create bugs mysql userAdd bugzilla user (bugs) to the mysql database as shown below.

site_wide_secret

# vi ./localconfig

$db_pass = 'Bugs4All';

# cat /etc/my.cnf

[mysqld]

datadir=/var/lib/mysql

socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

user=mysql

# Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x

# clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package).

old_passwords=1

# Disabling symbolic-links is recommended to prevent assorted security risks;

# to do so, uncomment this line:

# symbolic-links=0

# Allow packets up to 4MB

max_allowed_packet=4M

[mysqld_safe]

log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log

pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

# service mysqld restart


8/23



13. Create the bugzilla database

Execute the checksetup.pl (without any arguments) again to create the mysql bugzilla

database. Since the localconfig file already exist, the second time when you execute the

checksetup.pl, it will create the mysql database based on the information from localconfig file.

14. Create bugzilla administrator account.At the end of the ./checksetup.pl execution, it will detect that you dont have an adminsitrator

account and request you to enter administration login information as shown below.

# mysql -u root -p

mysql> GRANT SELECT, INSERT,

UPDATE, DELETE, INDEX, ALTER, CREATE, LOCK TABLES,

CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, DROP, REFERENCES ON bugs.*

TO bugs@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'Bugs4All';

mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

15. Configure apache for mod_perl

Rename the bugzilla directory. (i.e remove the version number in it)

Add the following two lines to httpd.conf

Verify the Group in httpd.conf matches the webservergroup in localconfig

Looks like we don't have an administrator set up yet. Either this is

your first time using Bugzilla, or your administrator's privileges

might have accidentally been deleted.

Enter the e-mail address of the administrator: [email protected]

Enter the real name of the administrator: Ramesh Natarajan

Enter a password for the administrator account: NotRealPwd

Please retype the password to verify: welcome

[email protected] is now set up as an administrator.Creating default classification 'Unclassified'...

Creating initial dummy product 'TestProduct'...

Now that you have installed Bugzilla, you should visit the 'Parameters'

page (linked in the footer of the Administrator account) to ensure it

is set up as you wish - this includes setting the 'urlbase' option to

the correct URL.

# cd /var/www/html

# mv bugzilla-3.4.6/ bugzilla

# tail -2 /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

PerlSwitches -I/var/www/html/bugzilla -I/var/www/html/bugzilla/lib -w -T

# cd /var/www/html/bugzilla/

# grep webservergroup localconfig

$webservergroup = 'apache';

# grep Group /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Group apache


10/23



16. Final checksetup.pl execution

Execute the checksetup.pl again.

17. Login to bugzilla and complete one time setup.

Start the apache, go to http://{your-ip-address}/bugzilla and login using the administrator

account you created above.

From the bugzilla UI, at the footer -> Administration -> Parameters -> Required Settings

section -> Fill-out following information:

maintainer: [email protected]

urlbase: http://{your-ip-address}/

Note: Depending on your setup, go to -> User Authentication -> and you might want to change

requiredlogin and emailregexp parameter.

Very worthful article.

Ant ti October 26, 2010 at 2:21 am

Hello

Thanks for the step-by-step guide. It was good. I had a problem with Centos 5.5. The

Apache couldnt find the DateTime.pm. The problem was solved by different configuration inthe httpd.conf.

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/html/bugzilla/

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

Options +Indexes +ExecCGI

DirectoryIndex index.cgi

AllowOverride Limit

Hopefully this will help somebody.

antti October 26, 2010 at 2:23 am

My last post should have had two more lines:

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/html/bugzilla/

Directory /var/www/html/bugzilla

AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

Options +Indexes +ExecCGI

DirectoryIndex index.cgi

AllowOverride Limit

Directory

Surround the directories with the Apache configuration syntax and you are good to go.

Zaher Shalak October 28, 2010 at 5:26 am

Could any body help me please

thanks a lot & Best Regards

Rahul December 21, 2010 at 7:07 am

Hi Ramesh

The step by step guide was really helpful. Thank you.

Im facing a couple of problems though.

Firstly I was not able to install ImageMagick no matter what I tried.

Secondly, the lines



that were added in http.conf while are causing the service to fail.

Like you mentioned above I have installed the various packages at the cpan prompt.

You have given only 2 instances above but Im facing more cant locate errors. I install each

one and then restart httpd and something else is missing.

Hope you can help me on this, I,m using CentOS 5.4

first of all i would like to say that the article is a very good one.

But i have the same problem as Rahul here:

the lines



that were added in http.conf while are causing the service to fail.

Thank you.

Rahul December 30, 2010 at 5:29 am

Hi Chifor

The http service will fail a no. of times. Each time the service fails check the error it is

throwing .

Usually you a cant locate error. Every you get this check the module that it cannot locate

and install it from the cpan prompt.

After a no. of such attempts I was able to successfully start the http service.

Even then I was not able to view the Bugzilla home page through the browser.

Every time I entered the url I just got to view the various Bugzilla files as HTML documents.

Now go the file /var/log/httpd/error_log and check what is the error you are getting.

Again install each missing module from the cpan prompt.

If everything goes well all dependencies should be resolved and you should be able to view

the Bugzilla home page.

Robert Liu February 18, 2011 at 4:26 am

I have a question, after I installed the bugzilla, I open the Mozilla Firefox and key in the

address http://localhost/bugzilla , it only show the files on the bugzilla directory, What should I

HI all,

There some thing to be done at the end of installation.. change the httpd conf file so it

detects your cgi files then only we can have a GUI interface to bugzilla else it wont work

properly.
