Enabling XML-RPC interface
Daniel Lidström
I am trying to get TeamCity to connect to our Bugzilla tracker. TeamCity is a continuous integration server by Jetbrains.
It is possible to connect the two, but I have been unable to. TeamCity documents and support personnel say that I must
make sure Bugzilla XML-RPC interface is enabled. However, I cannot seem to find any documentation of how to do
this with Bugzilla. I have looked for documents and searched this mailing list. How do I enable XML-RPC interface, or
even make sure it is enabled? I want to rule out Bugzilla from the equation. We are using Bugzilla 3.0.6.
Thanks in advance!

Does this thread help. It mentions the need for installing all the necessary
perl modules and then using /contrib/bz_webservice_demo.pl to verify
things.

I'd think that you would want to upgrade to a latest Bugzilla release as
well.

I did this. Here's what happened: after quite some time this message popped
up:
---------------------------
perl.exe - System Error
---------------------------
The program can't start because libexpat-1_.dll is missing from your
computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
The console showed this:
C:\Users\Daniel\Downloads\bugzilla-3.6.2\contrib>C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe
bz_webservice_demo.pl --uri "http://bugzilla.franson.com/xmlrpc.cgi" --login
daniel....@gpsgate.com --password xxxxx
500 read timeout at bz_webservice_demo.pl line 188
Read timeout seems to indicate that our server does not support or has not
activated or is misconfigured for xml-rpc. Perhaps its time for an upgrade.

Not sure about this, but you may need to download and register this dll.

from the looks of your folder path, you are already running the latest
stable build of Bugzilla (3.6.2). What version does it read on the top right
corner of your bugzilla home page?

What happens when you directly enter
http://bugzilla.franson.com/<http://bugzilla.franson.com/xmlrpc.cgi>xmlrpc.cgi
into your browser? If not properly configured you should get a page saying "The
XML-RPC Interface feature is not available in this Bugzilla."
The following seems to be a related article. On the whole, I think its time
one of the techies in the group helped you out.Sorry.

I do not have access to the server's installation folder, so I downloaded
the
latest version to get access to the script.

Running checksetup.pl on the Bugzilla server will tell you what is
required.

I am also having this problem.
Hitting http://bugzilla/xmlrpc.cgi yields the error: "The XML-RPC Interface
feature is not available in this Bugzilla."
I have double checked installation and reran checksetup.pl a couple times,
here is a log:

In the apache log, the only thing I see is:

called at /var/www/html/Bugzilla/Error.pm line 139BEGIN failed--compilation
aborted at /var/www/html/xmlrpc.cgi line 29.\n
That line in xmlrpc.cgi is where Bugzilla->feature('xmlrpc') is tested, and
is not found...
What are the requirements for XML-RPC to operate properly? I have hit a huge
brick wall here...
Thanks!

You may need to restart Apache if you just upgraded.
