Bugzilla not rendering in browser

[SAMI]

Hi,

I've installed Bugzilla on my windows xp machine with apache, mysql
along
with perl and downloaded all the required modules...but when I run
localhost
all I see is directory list of the Bugzilla folder. Is there anyway
of
making sure if the httpd.config file of apache is correctly configured
or if
communication with mysql is working?

Im suspect my problem may lie in the config file.

I would appreciate the help
Thankx!

Regards,
Sam

Sounds like you don't have a DirectoryIndex that includes index.cgi.
First, run testserver.pl.
Then just try to click on the index.cgi file in the directory listing.

Im actually not quite sure how to setup my localconfig.pm file
I get this on my browser when i run it"

The ./data/params file does not exist. You probably need to run
checksetup.pl. at Bugzilla/Config.pm line 326.
Compilation failed in require at C:/Bugzilla/index.cgi line 34.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:/Bugzilla/index.cgi line 34.

Thankx for you help!

It shouldn't be localconfig.pm, it should just be localconfig, but if
you run checksetup.pl it will get created.

See this documentation for how to set up your localconfig:
http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/3.0/html/configuration.html

...

Could mean that your localconfig file is empty or non-existent. Do you
see a localconfig file in C:\Bugzilla\? If not, make sure you have the
correct permissions and re-run checksetup.pl.
