Topic: Installing Bugzilla 2.16.5 on SME 6.0.1

[Anonymous]

Has anyone successfully installed Bugzilla 2.16.5 (the latest stable release)on SME? Are they willing to share their experience/instructions?

I have tried on 6.0.1. I created a new i-bay called bugzilla which is accessible from the local network, accessible to the everyone group, admin write permission and group (ie everyone) read permission, and allowed execution of scripts.

I have put the contents of the expanded bugzilla-2.16.5 directory that I downloaded in the html directory of the new ibay (bugzilla).

I know that Perl (by issuing # perl -v , perl 5.6.1), MySQL, and apache (# httpd -v , Apache/1.3.27) are installed.

I am not sure that all the required perl modules are installed - I have tried as the bugzilla instructions suggest to issue the following command # perl -MCPAN -e 'install "Bundle::Bugzilla"'

I have created the new user bugs in MySQL and put a root password on MySQL.

I created a symbolic link # ln -s /usr/bonsaitools/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl

When I try to run the checksetup.pl it errors with bash: ./checksetup.pl: /usr/bonsaitools/bin/perl: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

Some questions -

1. in SME how do you edit the Apache conf file - do you edit httpd.conf? I want to check that the FollowSymLinks directive is uncommented

2. do I need to put all of the *.cgi and *.pl files into the cgi-bin directory rather than leave it in the html directory?

3. any other help or advice is appreciated.

Cheers

If you really did what you have posted then you just tossed your perl installation. I don't know if perl is in /usr/bin or in other place.

What you wanted to do is:
  ln -s /usr/bin/perl /usr/bonsaitools/bin/perl

I tried myself to install Bugzilla w/out much success.

Some rpm perl modules are missing and rebuilding from scratch needs a lot of other libraries.
