Bugzilla with XAMPP Installation

[Michael Freeman]

I want to run Bugzilla for our local group. We do not have install rights on our PCs, so for a lot of other web testing work we use XAMPP. I want to add Bugzilla to the toolset but I am unable to find any coherent documentation that explains how to do this completely.

1) I have XAMPP setup and running without problem
2) I have the Perl Add-On for XAMPP installed without problem
3) I put Bugzilla in the htdoc folder of XAMPP ("M:\XAMPP\htdocs\Bugzilla-3.0.4")
4) I am supposed to install the perl modules for Bugzilla. It seems that they are installed using PPM to verify (I am on Win XP).
5) I try to run checksetup.pl from my browser and from cmd line and no luck. In browser I get this error:

Server error!

Um, that's a command, not perl code. You're running the "perl"
command and then giving it that line as Perl code!

That command should all be on one line.

Thank you Max. Now I have gone through all of the steps but when I try to access bugzilla using its locationhttp://localhost/bugzilla-3.0.4/
(located in D:\xampp\htdocs\bugzilla-3.0.4)

I get a 500 error (see below). I am using the apache configuration with mod_cgi, because mod_perl uses too much RAM. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks
Michael

You missed one of the instructions in the Windows install
instructions:

http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/win32install.html

Look for "ScriptInterpreterSource"

Competent, Friendly Bugzilla and Perl Services. Everything Else, too.

[Michael Freeman]

It says that ScriptInterpreterSource should put RegistryStrict and then I need a Registry Setting. In our environment we do not have Registry Access and I am trying to set this up with XAMPP so it can be somewhat portable. Is there another way to do this without touching the registry?

Also, there I saw no mention of this in the main documentation for 3.0.4 installation guide.

Thanks,
Michael

[Michael Freeman]

I added the ScriptInterpreterSource directive in the Directory setting of httpd.conf with the Script option after looking at the Apache documentation. I then did a global find and replace in the cgi and pl files for bugzilla and replaced:
#!usr/bin/perl -wT with the actual location of perl #!L:/comun/xampp/perl/bin/perl.exe -wT

I also tried just using #!perl -wT because I have perl setup in the path variable.

neither worked and I get a new 500 error:
Error message:
Premature end of script headers: index.cgi

Thanks for your help in advance!

Maybe saving the needed registry entries as a .reg-file is an option,
I know some installations were regedit, cmd etc. are forbidden but the
users are able to execute and include .reg-files.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,

Thanks,

That's an improvement! That means that it executed, but didn't
output anything, or it outputted an error.

Try running the script from the command line and see what
happens. (Change to that directory and do perl -wT index.cgi.)

Please send all communication to the list.

.reg-files contain the data needed to be created in the registry as
simple text, the content below should be saved in two different files
with ending .reg and executed afterwards. The first part associates
.cgi-files with a perl-handler, the second specifies the details where
to find perl etc. It's just a copy of my entries after installing perl
and should be changed according to your system. NEWLINE is just to
indicate that those newlines are necessary, not the text. The files
should be created with the editor in windows and saved with unicode
encoding.

Success! Running it as a cmd I saw the stack-trace and found that the error was coming from Errno.pm line 11

Errno architecture (MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-4.0) does not match executable architecture (MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.00) at L:/comun/xampp/perl/site/lib/Errno.pm line 11.

I don't know why it needed "4.0" and my machine (xp Pro SP3) shows 5.00, but I went in and adjusted the test in line11 so now it works fine. thank you for your help!!!
