1. Check your apache config, /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

below is the default, unless you changed...
-----------------------
#
# If you wish httpd to run as a different user or group, you must run
# httpd as root initially and it will switch.
#
# User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as.
# . On SCO (ODT 3) use "User nouser" and "Group nogroup".
# . On HPUX you may not be able to use shared memory as nobody, and the
# suggested workaround is to create a user www and use that user.
# NOTE that some kernels refuse to setgid(Group) or semctl(IPC_SET)
# when the value of (unsigned)Group is above 60000;
# don't use Group #-1 on these systems!
#
User apache
Group apache
-----------------------

Add the following to the end of file, this is a must to bugzilla.
--------------------------
<Directory /var/www/html/bugzilla>
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Options +Indexes +ExecCGI
DirectoryIndex index.cgi
AllowOverride Limit FileInfo Indexes
</Directory>
--------------------------

2. service httpd restart

3. Assume bugzilla is under /var/www/html, cd to that.

4. Make the apache as the owner and group permissions of the "bugzilla"
folder.
chown -R apache:apache bugzilla

5. Go to bugzilla folder, run ./checksetup.pl to fix the permission issue
too.

6. Test the bugzilla server to see if everything ok...
./testserver.pl http://<IP Address>/bugzilla/

should see the following if ok.
---------------------------
TEST-OK Webserver is running under group id in $webservergroup.
TEST-OK Got padlock picture.
TEST-OK Webserver is executing CGIs via mod_cgi.
TEST-OK Webserver is preventing fetch of
http://x.x.x.x/bugzilla/localconfig.
TEST-WARNING Failed to run gdlib-config; can't compare GD versions.
TEST-OK GD library generated a good PNG image.
TEST-OK Chart library generated a good PNG image.
TEST-OK Template::Plugin::GD is installed.
---------------------------
