Installing Bugzilla-4.2 on
CENTOS / FEDORA/ RHEL Linux
Step 1: update remi
repository
# rpm –Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm
# rpm –Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/enterprise/remi-release-6.rpm
Step 2: yum update
yum install perl-CPAN
yum install httpd mysql-server mod_perl
mod_perl-devel httpd-devel graphviz patchutils gcc perl-DateTime
perl-Template-Toolkit perl-Email-Send perl-Email-MIME perl-GD perl-Chart
perl-Template-GD perl-GDGraph perl-GDTextUtil perl-PatchReader perl-MIME-tools
perl-LDAP perl-Authen-SASL perl-RadiusPerl perl-SOAP-Lite perl-JSON-RPC
perl-JSON-XS perl-Test-Taint perl-HTML-Scrubber
perl-Email-MIME-Attachment-Stripper perl-Email-Reply perl-TheSchwartz
perl-Daemon-Generic perl-Math-Random-Secure perl-YAML perl-Class-Inspector
Step 3: # restorecon –Rv /var/www/html/
Step 4: Now download latest bugzilla-4.2 tar file from the below link.
Note: The downloaded bugzilla tar file should be moved to /var/www/html/ directory.
# cd /var/www/html
Now untar the downloaded
bugzilla tar ball
# tar zxf
bugzilla-4.2.tar.gz
# mv bugzilla-4.2
bugzilla4
# chown –R 751 bugzilla4
# chown root:apache –R
bugzilla4
# cd bugzilla4
check for missing
modules
# ./checksetup.pl --check-modules
To install all the missing modules just type the following:
# /usr/bin/perl
install-module.pl --all
Recheck of missing
modules
# ./checksetup.pl --check-modules
You can install missing modules one by one by the
following methods –
1.
/usr/bin/perl install-module.pl <module name>
2.
# cpan
cpan> install <module name>
3.
Perl –MCPAN –e ‘install “<module name>”’
# ./checksetup.pl
Note: You would not be able to install the Encode : Detect module but no need to worry, it is a optional module.
If all the necessary modules are installed properly,
then it will ask to edit ./localconfig
file.
# vi ./localconfig
Search for $ db_pass=’ ’ line in localconfig
file
Now put type a new password for mysql as shown below.
$ db_pass=’your
password for sql’
Step5: Modify /etc/my.cnf to
increase bugzilla attachment size:
# vi /etc/my.cnf
Add the below line in my.cnf file
max_allowed_packet=10M
Above will allow attachment size
upto 10 mb, you can change the attachment size as per your requirements.
Step 6: Creating My SQL database bugs for bugzilla server :
#
service mysqld restart
# mysql
sql>
create database bugs;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00
sec)
sql> GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE,
INDEX, ALTER, CREATE, LOCK TABLES,
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, DROP, REFERENCES ON bugs.* TO bugs@localhost
IDENTIFIED BY ‘your password for mysql’;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
sql>
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
sql>
quit;
Rerun checksetup.pl. It reconfirms that all the
modules are present, and notices the altered localconfig file, which it assumes
you have edited to your satisfaction. It compiles the UI templates, connects to
the database using the ‘bugs’ user you created and the password you defined,
and creates the ‘bugs’ database and the tables therein.
If all goes well, it will ask you for an email
for the Bugzilla Administrator account and the password for that account.
$ ./checksetup.pl
Step 8: Add the following to the httpd.conf file. This assumes you
installed Bugzilla in the default
path.
#vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
find, uncomment and edit the following
two lines:
ServerAdmin root@yoursystemhostname (line no.262 of your httpd.conf file)
ServerName
yoursystemhostname:80 (line
no.276 of your httpd.conf file)
Also find and uncomment the
following line:
AddHandler
cgi-script .cgi (you can find this at
line no. 799 of your httpd.conf file)
Type the below two line at the end
of httpd.conf file:
PerlSwitches
-I/var/www/html/bugzilla -I/var/www/html/bugzilla/lib -w -T
PerlConfigRequire
/var/www/html/bugzilla/mod_perl.pl
Step 9: Now restart Apache web server:
#
service httpd restart
Step 10: Open port 80 in
firewall table:
#
iptables –A INPUT –p tcp --dport 80 –j ACCEPT
#
service iptables save
Now you can see your running bugzilla server on
# setup
Select Firewall Configuration menu and disable the Firewall by removing
the “ * ” symbol by pressing spacebar in that Enabled bracket, then press OK ,
Yes and Quit.
Go to System>Administration>Firewall and disable it.
Now type this in the browser window: http://localhost/bugzilla
I hope now your are able to see your bugzilla server home page.
Email configuration for Bugzilla Server:
Open your bugzilla server ip address in your
browser
Log in with bugzilla administrator email id and
password which you have setup during the installation.
After login click on Administration tab, then
click Parameters, then click Email (on the left hand side menu) and change the
following fields:
Mailfrom : your bugzillaserver email id (not
bugzilla administrator email)
Smtpserver : your outgoing mailserver address
Smtp_username : your bugzillaserver email id
Smtp_password : bugzillaserver email id password
Then click on Save Changes at the bottom of the
page.
Now go to User
Authentication menu and go to field createemailregexp
(at the bottom of the page), this
field is used to give access to a particular email domain address.
For example: .*@gmail.com
In the above example, bugzilla will allow only
those email address to be created who have @gmail.com as a suffix.
Now you are good to go with Bugzilla Server.
Enjoy.
Hello Ravindra,
ReplyDeleteI am trying to install bugzilla 4.2.1 on RHEL 5.0
after successfully installation of all perl module I am facing following issue.
Note : I am using lampp mysql for connection I had following your installation guide
==============================================
Reading ./localconfig...
Checking for DBD-mysql (v4.001) ok: found v4.021
Had to create DBD::mysql::dr::imp_data_size unexpectedly at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/DBI.pm line 1240, line 558.
Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/DBI.pm line 1240, line 558.
Had to create DBD::mysql::db::imp_data_size unexpectedly at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/DBI.pm line 1270, line 558.
Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/DBI.pm line 1270, line 558.
There was an error connecting to MySQL:
Undefined subroutine &DBD::mysql::db::_login called at lib/i386-linux-thread-multi/DBD/mysql.pm line 149, line 558.
This might have several reasons:
* MySQL is not running.
* MySQL is running, but there is a problem either in the
server configuration or the database access rights. Read the Bugzilla
Guide in the doc directory. The section about database configuration
should help.
* Your password for the 'bugs' user, specified in $db_pass, is
incorrect, in './localconfig'.
* There is a subtle problem with Perl, DBI, or MySQL. Make
sure all settings in './localconfig' are correct. If all else fails, set
==============================================
Please advice me where I am doing mistake..
Thanks in advance.
