Bugzilla Installation Issue :: Help Required

I am trying to install on a Linux machine (Fedora). Facing a couple of issues(I, being a Windows guy, was to face those issues :(...



  • Anyway, I was able to install Apache successfully on this machine...tested.

  • MySQL 4.1 installation failed for some dependency issues. Got it resolved by pointing to MySQL DB on a W2K machine :)

  • All required Perl packages installed successfully...tested

  • Trying to access Bugzilla home page...failing repeatedly.



My Apache 2.0.5x is in /usr/local/apache2.
My Bugzilla 2.18.3 is in /var/www/html/bugzilla.

I have carried out the installation and configuration as per the Bugzilla manual (I hope I did it correct), but I cant access Bugzilla still. When I try to access bugzill home, it shows Internal Server Error in the browser and in the Apache log file, following message is recorded:

[Mon Sep 12 12:54:05 2005] [debug] prefork.c(956): AcceptMutex: sysvsem (default: sysvsem)

I am unable to see its root cause of failure. The error seems to indicate that it cant locate Bugzilla/Constants.pm file (This file location is /var/www/html/bugzilla/Bugzilla/Constants.pm and it is present).

Can u plz help me?

You might need to look at your apache conf file and and see what the group is and make sure you have that same group set in the localconfig file then rerun checksetup.pl

httpd.conf
User apache
Group apache

localconfig
$webservergroup = "apache";

rerun ./checksetup.pl

you should be golden if not email me at dan.mccullough at gmail.com

Had the same problem.

The fix was to change the user and group settings in httpd.conf both from "daemon" to "apache"

Thanks!!

Installing Bugzilla on Windows

Bugzilla is the Bugs/Issues Tracking Tool from The Mozilla Organization. Version 2.18 is the latest stable release. There are couple of resources which guide a User installing Bugzilla on a Unix/linux machine. However, this entry describes a way to install Bugzilla on a Windows machine (W2K to be precise). This document guides you step by step through the installation process. First, get Administrative access to the machine on which you want to install Bugzilla. It should be a simple step. Usually, Users are given Administrative rights on Windows machine. However, if you dont have, contact your Administrator. Get Bugzilla Then download the Bugzilla from http://bugzilla.org/download.html . There are two ways of gettng it - through CVS or direct downloading the tar file. Remember there are no Zip files. However, any zip utility should be able to untar the Bugzilla. I download the tar file and untarred it using WinZip. I placed the untarred 'bugzilla' directory in my c: drive. So...

JSP Performance Tips

Here are a few tips to improve JSP performance that I have been using. If you have your own listing of the tips, plz share. Disable JSP auto reloading feature. Use thread pool for your JSP engine and define the size of thread pool as per application requirement. Use jspInit() method to cache static data Initialize the 'out' object (implicit object) with proper size in the page directive. Set the content length Give 'false' value to the session in the page directive to avoid session object creation. Flush the data partly Use StringBuffer rather than using + operator when you concatenate multiple strings Use include directive instead of include action when you want to include the child page content in the translation phase. Avoid giving unnecessary scope in the 'useBean' action. Use print() method rather than println() method Use ServletOutputStream instead of JSPWriter to send binary data Minimize code in the synchronized block Do not use custom tags if you do no...

How old are the daughters?

Two MIT math graduates bump into each other at Fairway on the upper west side. They hadn't seen each other in over 20 years. The first grad says to the second: "how have you been?" Second: "Great! I got married and I have three daughters now" First: "Really? how old are they?" Second: "Well, the product of their ages is 72, and the sum of their ages is the same as the number on that building over there.." First: "Right, ok.. oh wait.. hmmmm.., I still don't know" second: "Oh sorry, the oldest one just started to play the piano" First: "Wonderful! my oldest is the same age!" Problem: How old are the daughters?
