Install Bugzilla On Centos 7

[Kayleen]

SomeLinux distributions include Bugzilla and its dependencies in theirpackage management systems. If you have root access, installing Bugzilla onany Linux system could be as simple as finding the Bugzilla package in thepackage management application and installing it. There may be a small bitof additional configuration required.

You can install required packages with:apt install apache2 build-essential gitlibcgi-pm-perl libdatetime-perl libdatetime-timezone-perllibdbi-perl libdbix-connector-perl libdigest-sha-perl libemail-address-perllibemail-mime-perl libemail-sender-perl libjson-xs-perlliblist-moreutils-perl libmath-random-isaac-perl libtemplate-perllibtimedate-perl liburi-perl libmariadb-dev-compat libdbd-mysql-perlmariadb-server

If you plan to use a database other than MariaDB, you will need to also installthe appropriate packages for that (in the command above, the packages requiredfor MariaDB are libdbd-mysql-perl, libmariadb-dev-compat and mariadb-server).

You can install optional packages with:apt install graphviz libapache2-mod-perl2libapache2-mod-perl2-dev libauthen-radius-perl libauthen-sasl-perllibcache-memcached-perl libchart-perl libdaemon-generic-perllibemail-reply-perl libencode-detect-perl libencode-perllibfile-copy-recursive-perl libfile-mimeinfo-perl libfile-which-perllibgd-dev libgd-graph-perl libgd-perl libgd-text-perllibhtml-formattext-withlinks-perl libhtml-parser-perllibhtml-scrubber-perl libio-stringy-perl libjson-rpc-perllibmime-tools-perl libnet-ldap-perl libnet-smtp-ssl-perllibsoap-lite-perl libtemplate-plugin-gd-perl libtest-taint-perllibtheschwartz-perl libwww-perl libxmlrpc-lite-perl libxml-twig-perl

has been available in the openSUSE Leap repositories since 15.2 and isin the openSUSE Tumbleweed repositories, also comes with an optionalbugzilla-apache package, that allows you to skip toconfiguring your database

If you have not already installed the necessary modules, and want to do itsystem-wide, invoke your package manager appropriately at this point.Alternatively, you can install all missing modules locally (i.e. just forBugzilla) like this:

Bugzilla supports MySQL (or MariaDB, its compatible counterpart), PostgreSQL,Oracle and SQLite as database servers. You only require one of these systemsto make use of Bugzilla. MySQL or MariaDB are most commonly used. SQLite isgood for trial installations as it requires no setup. Configure your serveraccording to the instructions below:

checksetup.pl will write out a file called localconfig.This file contains the default settings for a number ofBugzilla parameters, the most important of which are the group your webserver runs as, and information on how to connect to your database.

Load this file in your editor. You will need to check/change $db_driverand $db_pass, which are respectively the type of the database you areusing and the password for the bugs database user you have created.$db_driver can be either mysql, Pg (PostgreSQL), Oracle orSqlite. All values are case sensitive.

It reconfirms that all the modules are present, and notices the alteredlocalconfig file, which it assumes you have edited to yoursatisfaction. It compiles the UI templates,connects to the database using the bugsuser you created and the password you defined, and creates thebugs database and the tables therein.

After that, it asks for details of an administrator account. Bugzillacan have multiple administrators - you can create more later - butit needs one to start off with.Enter the email address of an administrator, his or her full name,and a suitable Bugzilla password.

Bugzilla is free and open source web-based bug tracking tool. It is developed and used by the Mozilla project. Bugzilla is widely used by various organizations to improve their software application because it allows you to track defects and code changes in your applications. You can communicate with your Dev team easily and submit and review patches using Bugzilla.

1. You must have an Alibaba Cloud Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance activated and have verified your valid payment method. If you are a new user, you can get a free account in your Alibaba Cloud account. If you don't know about how to set up your ECS instance, you can refer to this tutorialor quick-start guide. Your ECS instance must have at least 1GB RAM and 1 Core processor.

2. A domain name registered from Alibaba Cloud. If you have already registered a domain from Alibaba Cloud or any other host, you can update its domain nameserver records.

3. A sudo user

The above query will create a database named bugzilla_data. For the database, you can use any name you prefer in the place of bugzilla_data. Make sure that you use semicolon at the end of each query as a query always ends with a semicolon. Once the database is created you can create a new user and grant the required permissions to the user for the database.

Now let's modify the configuration file of MariaDB using any text editor. Here we are using nano text editor because its interface is more user-friendly, you can also install it using sudo yum -y install nano.

Once you have all the required dependencies installed, you can proceed to download and install Bugzilla on your CentOS 7 server. You can download the latest stable release of Bugzilla using the following wget command.

By running above command you will learn about the availability of any required or optional Perl modules on your machine. So, you will need to install all the required and optional Perl modules using this single command given below.

Now open up your favorite web browser and visit to access the Bugzilla site. When you see Bugzilla web interface click on Log In button and then provide your administration credentials to login so that you can set up Bugzilla as you want.

In this guide, you learned to install Bugzilla bug tracking system on your CentOS 7 server. Now you can deploy your projects and track issues of your applications. We hope now you have enough knowledge to work with Bugzilla.

I was installing bugzilla 3.6.3 i have a dependency for DBD::mysql 4.0 currently DBD::mysql installed on the system is 3.0.This is a centos machine and if any one let me know how to install this DBD::mysql 4 will be pretty useful.

Bugzilla is the best open source bug tracking system. Very simple to use with lot of features. Bugzilla allows you to track the bugs and collaborate with developers and other teams in your organization effectively.

Please review the output of the above install-module.pl to make sure everything got install properly. There is a possibility that some of the modules failed to install (may be because some required OS packages were missing).

Execute checksetup.pl without any argument, which will create a localconfig file in the current directory. The localconfig file contains the key configuration parameters used by the bugzilla (for example, mysql db username and password).

Execute the checksetup.pl (without any arguments) again to create the mysql bugzilla database. Since the localconfig file already exist, the second time when you execute the checksetup.pl, it will create the mysql database based on the information from localconfig file.

Hi Ramesh,

Could you please tell me the steps about setting up email configuration using SMTP for sending new account invitation. I have done this by changing the following parameters in Bugzilla Administration page:

I know it is 4 years later, but this guide really saved my bacon. I was installing bugzilla-4.4-5 on a rhel5 machine and never could get the documentation to line up with what I needed to do, so this guide did the trick. Thanks again.

Since i wanted to customize the Displayed error message for my application.

ex:

for any query related issues, its displaying the complete table structure and complete query information. i wanted to hide the data related to query from displaying.

Welcome to our tutorial on how to install Bugzilla bug tracker on CentOS 8. According to the About Bugzilla page, Bugzilla is a robust, featureful and mature defect-tracking system, or bug-tracking system. Defect-tracking systems allow teams of developers to keep track of outstanding bugs, problems, issues, enhancement and other change requests in their products effectively.

In order to install Bugzilla BT, there are a few system considerations you might want to make. These include the system OS, the hardware and software requirements as outlined on Bugzilla requirements page.

Perl is the core requirement of installing and running Bugzilla. Bugzilla 5.0 and newer require Perl 5.10.1. However, if possible you should install Perl 5.12 or newer, as these newer versions have some useful improvements which will make your life easier.

Enable other required repos;dnf install epel-releasednf config-manager --set-enabled powertoolsInstall Perl on CentOS 8, and other required package dependencies.dnf install perl perl-CPAN perl-DBD-MySQL gcc gd gd-devel graphviz patchutils perl-CGI,DateTime,DateTime-TimeZone,Template-Toolkit,Email-Sender,Email-MIME,List-MoreUtils,Math-Random-ISAAC,JSON-XS,GD wget curlYou can then verify the version of installed Perl on CentOS 8 using the command below;

Start and enable Apache service to run on system boot;systemctl enable --now httpdInstall and Configure Bugzilla Database on CentOS 8Install MariaDB database on CentOS 8Similarly, for the database, you can PostgreSQL instead. But this guide used MariaDB, instead. Check that we installed the MySQL perl module above. Hence, to install MariaDB on CentOS 8, run the command belows;

Start and enable MariaDB to run on system boot;systemctl enable --now mariadbRun MariaDB initial security script to disable remote root login, remove anonymous users, test databases.mysql_secure_installationCreate the Bugzilla Database and Database UserLogin to MariaDB and create the database and database user with all privileges granted. Be sure to replace the database name, user and the password accordingly.
