* This README is no longer used to house installation instructions. Instead,
|
||||
it contains pointers to where you may find the information you need.
|
||||
What is Bugzilla?
|
||||
=================
|
||||
Bugzilla is a free bug-tracking system that is developed by an active
|
||||
community of volunteers in the Mozilla community. You can install and
|
||||
use it without having to pay any license fee.
|
||||
|
||||
* A quick installation guide is provided in the QUICKSTART file.
|
||||
Minimum requirements
|
||||
====================
|
||||
It can be installed on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and other Unix flavors.
|
||||
Bugzilla is written in Perl, meaning that Perl must be installed on your system.
|
||||
You will also need a web server as well as a DB server (see below).
|
||||
|
||||
* Complete installation instructions are found in docs/, with a
|
||||
variety of document types available. Please refer to these documents
|
||||
when installing, configuring, and maintaining your Bugzilla
|
||||
installation. A helpful starting point is docs/txt/Bugzilla-Guide.txt,
|
||||
or with a web browser at docs/html/index.html.
|
||||
Installation & Upgrading
|
||||
========================
|
||||
The documentation to install, upgrade, configure and use Bugzilla can be found
|
||||
in different formats:
|
||||
* docs/en/html/Bugzilla-Guide.html (HTML version)
|
||||
* docs/en/txt/Bugzilla-Guide.txt (text version)
|
||||
* docs/en/pdf/Bugzilla-Guide.pdf (PDF version)
|
||||
|
||||
* Release notes for people upgrading to a new version of Bugzilla are
|
||||
available at docs/rel_notes.txt.
|
||||
If the documentation is missing, you can get it online by visiting
|
||||
http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/ from where you can select the documentation
|
||||
corresponding to the Bugzilla version you are installing.
|
||||
|
||||
* If you wish to contribute to the documentation, please read docs/README.docs.

||||
Bugzilla Quick Start Guide
|
||||
==========================
|
||||
(or, how to get Bugzilla up and running in 10 steps)
|
||||
Christian Reis <kiko@async.com.br>
|
||||
|
||||
* The Bugzilla web site is at "http://www.bugzilla.org/". This site will
|
||||
contain the latest Bugzilla information, including how to report bugs and how
|
||||
to get help with Bugzilla.
|
||||
This express installation guide is for "normal" Bugzilla installations,
|
||||
which means a Linux or Unix system on which Apache, Perl, MySQL or PostgreSQL
|
||||
and a Sendmail compatible MTA are available. For other configurations, please
|
||||
see the "Installing Bugzilla" section 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.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Unpack the distribution into the chosen directory (there is no copying or
|
||||
installation involved).
|
||||
|
||||
3. Run ./checksetup.pl, look for unsolved requirements, and install them.
|
||||
You can run checksetup as many times as necessary to check if
|
||||
everything required has been installed.
|
||||
|
||||
These will usually include assorted Perl modules, MySQL or PostgreSQL,
|
||||
and a MTA.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Create a user permission for the name supplied as $db_user with
|
||||
read/write access to the database whose name is given by $db_name.
|
||||
|
||||
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 Bugzilla Security - MySQL section
|
||||
in the Bugzilla Guide or PostgreSQL documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Run checksetup.pl once more; if all goes well, it should set up the
|
||||
Bugzilla database for you. If not, return 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 can choose between
|
||||
mod_cgi and mod_perl. The Bugzilla documentation has detailed information
|
||||
for both modes.
|
||||
|
||||
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. Visit the "Parameters" page, as suggested by the page displayed to you.
|
||||
Set up the relevant parameters for your local setup.
|
||||
|
||||
10. That's it. If anything unexpected comes up:
|
||||
|
||||
- read the error message carefully,
|
||||
- backtrack through the steps above,
|
||||
- check the official installation guide.
|
||||
|
||||
Support and installation questions should be directed to the
|
||||
support-bugzilla@lists.mozilla.org mailing list.
