Step 1: Create server say bugzilla.mydomain.com
Setup hostname, network, dns etc properly
Step 2 : Install the following prerequisites
Before installing see bugzilla documentation for supported versions for the package you are going to install
•Install MTA
#yum install sendmail*
•Install database server
#yum install mysql-server
•Install web server
#yum install httpd-*
•Install Perl
#Yum Install perl-*
#yum install ImageMagick-devel
Step 3 : Configure sendmail to send and recive email
You may need to configure your DNS server properly to set your email server to send and receive email. By default send mail will listen port on 25 in 127.0.0.1 only ,Change DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl as below
#vi /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
dnl #DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl
#m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
#service sendmail restart
#chkconfig sendmail on
Note: - [Please see send mail documentation for any additional configurations]
Step 4 : Setup Database Server
•Start mysql server
#service mysqld start
•Set mysqladmin password
# mysqladmin password ********
Step 4.1: Allow large attachments and many comments
By default, MySQL will only allow you to insert things into the database that are smaller than 64KB. To change MySQL’s default, you need to edit your MySQL configuration file, which is usually /etc/my.cnf on Linux.
# vi /etc/my.cnf
[mysqld]
max_allowed_packet=10M
Step 4.2: Allow small words in full-text indexes
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".
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 /etc/my.cnf according to the example below:
# vi /etc/my.cnf
[mysqld]
# Allow small words in full-text indexes
ft_min_word_len=2
Step 4.3: create a database user to use for bugzilla
You need to add a new MySQL user for Bugzilla to use. (It’s not safe to have Bugzilla use the MySQL root account.) You will need the $db_pass password later to set in localconfig . I used SQL GRANT command to create a “bugs” user. This also restricts the “bugs”user to operations within database called “bugs”, and only allows the account to connect from “localhost”. Modify your setup if you will be connecting from another machine or as a different user. Replace $db_password with your proffered password
mysql> GRANT SELECT, INSERT,UPDATE, DELETE, INDEX, ALTER, CREATE, LOCK TABLES,CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, DROP, REFERENCES ON bugs.* TO bugs@localhost IDENTIFIED BY ’$db_password’;
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Step 4.4 . Permit attachments table to grow beyond 4GB Note: [This has to be done only after completing bugzilla installation]
By default, MySQL will limit the size of a table to 4GB. This limit is present even if the underlying filesystem has no such limit. To set a higher limit, follow these instructions. After you have completed the rest of the installation (or at least the database setup parts), you should run the MySQL command-line client and enter the following, replacing $bugs_db with your Bugzilla database name (bugs by default):
mysql> use $bugs_db
mysql> ALTER TABLE attachments AVG_ROW_LENGTH=1000000,MAX_ROWS=20000;
Step 5: Setup webserver
Normally you will have to add set the server name and specify the document root directory .
Note [ Follow apache/httpd documentation for any advance configurations]
#vi /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
ServerName bugzilla.mydomain.com
#service httpd restart
#chkconfig httpd on
Setup 6: Install Bugzilla
Download the latest package from bugzilla and unzip it
#tar -xvzf bugzilla-3.4.1.tar.gz
#mv bugzilla-3.4.1 /var/www/html/
# chown -R 751 bugzilla-3.4.1/
#chown root:apache -R bugzilla-3.4.1/
Step 7: Edit localconfig
#vi /var/www/html/bugzilla/localconfig
Set database password , username , location of dot /usr/bin/dot etc here
Step 10: Install all required modules
#cd /var/www/html/bugzilla/
Check whether all required modules are installed or not using checksetup.pl --check-modules
#./checksetup.pl --check-modules
Install any missing modules
eg: #/usr/bin/perl install-module.pl GD::Text
Step 11: Run checksetup.pl
After resolving all dependencies you can install bugzilla by running the below command
#./checksetup.pl
Step 12: Verify whether bugzilla is accessible
At this point we will be able to upgraded bugzilla instance bu accessing http://bugzilla.mydomain.com/bugzilla
Well .... its ready do some customization and play with bugs:-)
