After a fresh install & config, I ran ./checksetup.pl, which produced
the following message:

==================================
Now that you have installed Bugzilla, you should visit the
'Parameters' page (linked in the footer of the Administrator
account) to ensure it is set up as you wish - this includes
setting the 'urlbase' option to the correct URL.
==================================

How to get to this 'Parameters' page?

log in with the Administrator account you had checksetup.pl create
during one of its runs. In the footer of the page, you'll find a link
"Parameters".

This is assuming you installed a Bugzilla of a 3.0.x version. In
unstable development snapshots, the link is called "Administration";
the "Parameters" link is on this Administration page.

Using the email address and password you gave it when you ran checksetup.pl.

I see now that I have not completed the configuration:
http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/tip/html/configuration.html#http-apache-mod_perl

I have bugzilla here:
http://dhtmlkitchen.com/ape/bugs/

My host won't let me modify httpd.conf

I have to instead get the .htaccess file right so I can get that login
screen. I can't modify httpd.conf, because my web host does not allow
it. Instead, I changed the .htaccess file, adding the last two lines,
but it had no effect:
# Don't allow people to retrieve non-cgi executable files or our
private data
<FilesMatch ^(.*\.pm|.*\.pl|.*localconfig.*)$>
deny from all
</FilesMatch>

PerlSwitches -I/www/ape/bugs -I/www/ape/bugs/lib -w -T
PerlConfigRequire /www/ape/bugs/mod_perl.pl

Is it possible to complete configuration through .htaccess?

Thank you,

Garrett

I would doubt it. You should consider NOT using the mod_perl
configuration and instead focus on allowing cgi script execution. This
may be possible without your host modifying their httpd.conf, although
it all depends on how they set it up and what they 'AllowOverride' for.

http://dhtmlkitchen.com/ape/bugs/
should have, in /public_html/ape/bugs/
<Directory /www/ape/bugs>

Correct?

It works with .htaccess.

Just putting this up here in case anyone else has the same problem.
Inside the bugzilla directory, I modified the existing .htaccess
file. I have bugzilla installed in my server under /www/ape/bugs/, so
the .htaccess file is /www/ape/bugs/.htaccess. Here it is:-

# Don't allow people to retrieve non-cgi executable files or our
private data
<FilesMatch ^(.*\.pm|.*\.pl|.*localconfig.*)$>
deny from all
</FilesMatch>

#<Directory /www/ape/bugs>
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Options +Indexes +ExecCGI
DirectoryIndex index.cgi
#AllowOverride None
#</Directory>

THe problem was having the <Directory ... > there. Just remove that
and it will work.
