Remote Bugzilla II2S Web Server and Local MySql Database

[Tom Browder]

My compoany will not let us expose a bugzilla database through a local
web server. They want us to use a remote II2S web server with a local
mysql database on a Linux host.

Is that even possible?

Thanks.

In the localconfig file you can specify the mysql host name for running
a database on a separate server.

Hello Guyz...

Thanks a ton for helping me out with Bugzilla installation and
integrating it with Testopia...
Everything is working perfectly fine.

Am thankful to all of you for your help as and when needed.

I am now working on integrating Bugzilla with Wiki...(my company's own
wiki)... can any one send me a link or a pdf or doc... to run through
the integration process??

Thanks,

Sunny

Try this too. If your wiki is similar, you can use it.
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_Matrix (Search for Bugzilla.
There are a few extensions. Integrated Authentication, Bugzilla Reports,
and Bug number formatting.)

The key for me, that I couldn't find anywhere, was to add an interwiki
entry into the database to provide a link to my Bugzilla.

[Bhatt, Shail]

Hello,

I downloaded mediawiki-1.13.1.tar and have unpacked it inside /var/www/html. Now as per the tutorial when I run the following:

cd /var/www/html/wiki
chown -R root:root . *
chmod 0777 config

it shows me the following:

chmod: can not access 'config': no such file or directory

I did an "ls" on /var/www/html/wiki and found that it has 2 directories... "languages" and t"

What shall be done??

You may need to re-untar the file.

Here is what I get:
# tar -tzvf mediawiki-1.13.1.tar.gz |grep config
drwxr-xr-x tstarling/tstarling 0 2008-09-06 11:56:28 mediawiki-1.13.1/config/
-rw-r--r-- tstarling/tstarling 68 2007-07-11 03:55:24 mediawiki-1.13.1/config/index.php5
-rw-r--r-- tstarling/tstarling 68136 2008-07-20 10:29:04 mediawiki-1.13.1/config/index.php

Did you move, rename, or link "mediawiki-1.13.1" to "wiki"?

[Bhatt, Shail]

I moved it to wiki.....anything wrong????

Sunny

[Bhatt, Shail]

What shall I do now...to undo the process???
Any suggestions?

sunny

[Bhatt, Shail]

That's done...

Now a very important thing...

What I actually have to do is... when I type in www.dom.ain/wiki i should get re-directed to the link where we already have our company's wiki already running.
So I guess I have to create a httpd retracter or something... but have no idea as to how to do this.
Also, the box where I am running is , for example, abc and the box from where my compnay's wiki is running is, for example xyz... so..

Can any one help?

No, you just didn't say you did, but you were chmod'ing the new directory name. Wanted to make sure you were in the right place. You were. No problems there.

So redirects aren't too difficult. Javascript, meta-tags, perl, and php all have ways to redirect.

For php, make a file index.php with the following line:
<?php header("Location: http://www.xyz.com/wiki"); ?>

[Bhatt, Shail]

Ok...

I have finished doing the configuration part till:

cd /var/www/html/wiki
chown -R root:root . *
chmod 0777 config

now it requires me to open www.dom.ain/wiki when i am doing it... it says... the following
"you do not have permissions to access/wiki"

So what to do about that ...

And of what I understood from your reply is that make a file index.php with the following line:

<?php header("Location: http://www.xyz.com/wiki"); ?>

Now /wiki/config already has the index.php so do I need to put that line in this one???

The apache logs may tell you why it failed. Could be a number of reasons. Most likely the directory does not have Read-By-All permissions (chmod -R o+r .)

No, this will redirect the user AWAY from the wiki page on this server. To redirect people TO this site from your other server, you need to put it there.

[Bhatt, Shail]

Ok so I will correct the permission thing and will create an index.php and put that line init that u gave.

But /wiki/config already has an index.php so will it now get replaced ?? in which directory do I need to make index.php

What are you trying to redirect? If you intend on using the wiki on this server, you don't need a redirect here. Your previous message (as I read it) said you were trying to redirect away from this server.

[Bhatt, Shail]

I have my company's wiki on "xyz" server.

I just configured the mediawiki-1.13.1 on "abc" server cause tht's where my bugzilla is.
What I want it,,, when I open www.abc/wiki i shud get rediredted to the compnay's wiki on "xyz"

Now tell me what shall I do?

Ok, so you aren't going to use your wiki at all, or you want to use your corporate wiki database?

If you aren't going to use the wiki on abc at all, just remove the whole thing, and put that one line php file in the wiki directory to redirect.

[Bhatt, Shail]

I do want to use my corporate wiki database.

On running www.abc/wiki successfully will take me to few configuration pages that's what tutorial says... so that should be for the wiki being related to bugzilla right? And what I wish is that should use my company's wiki
