I know this is probably simple for everyone ...

I'm kind of new to Apache & Bugzilla... was wondering if someone can give me
a quick howto on setup Bugzilla to response to a sub domain. (e.g.
bugs.domainname.com)

Thanks in advance!!!

Hello Spanks. Setting up Bugzilla on a subdomain is no different than
regular setup. You might want to check out our documentation page at
http://www.bugzilla.org/ for basic instructions.

Thanks for the reply

However, I'm finding it extremely difficult to locate any material on
domains, etc.

My installation is Mandrake 2006 (download edition), the install of
Bugzilla was through a contrib. RPM.

I do have minimal experience with apache virtual host setups, however, I am
limited (sorry, guess that's what happens when you're a Windows GUI baby.)

Any how, I created a virtual host with the sub domain and pointed the
Document directory to /var/www/bugzilla . however, the CGI stopped working .
also, I can still get to bugzilla from http://<domain>/bugzilla/

My goal is to get it setup on the sub domain http://bugs.<domain>.com only.
I can't have it accessible from all domains appointed to the system.
Another words, /bugzilla/ needs to be changed.

Anyone that can help out a illiterate, I would be much appreciated.

Thanks again!

Without knowing more about what you have installed and what your goal
is, it's difficult to say. Are you trying to host multiple different
Bugzilla installations based on the host name? ...

The easiest way I can think of to handle this is to create a directory
for each installation on your web server, then use the Location
directive in Apache to handle where users are sent to when they go to
http://bugs.domain.com/. Once you've got Apache configured, Bugzilla
becomes very easy to handle by updating each localconfig to point to the
proper database.

The URL you may want to look at is...
