How to Install Bugzilla in CentOS

How to Install Bugzilla 4.4 in CentOS

Bugzilla is a web based bug tracker tool that is used to log and track fault in databases. It is used mainly in chip design, Systems Administration deployment management and development problem tracking (both pre-and-post fabrication), software and hardware bug tracking for many famous systems like Redhat, NASA, Linux-Mandrake etc.

To install Bugzilla

Install some packages, before installing Bugzilla.

[root@linuxhelp bugzilla]# yum install httpd mod_ssl mysql-server mysql php-mysql gcc perl* mod_perl-devel

open the port 80 in the firewall and save changes by running the following command.

[root@linuxhelp1 ~]# iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
[root@linuxhelp1 ~]# service iptables save
iptables: Saving firewall rules to /etc/sysconfig/iptables:[  OK  ]

To start the service while booting.

[root@linuxhelp1 ~]# /sbin/chkconfig httpd on

To configure MySQL Server

[root@linuxhelp1 ~]# chkconfig mysqld on

Run the following command to start the mysqld services.

[root@linuxhelp1 ~]# service mysqld start
Initializing MySQL database:  Installing MySQL system tables...
OK
Filling help tables...
OK

To start mysqld at boot time you have to copy
support-files/mysql.server to the right place for your system

PLEASE REMEMBER TO SET A PASSWORD FOR THE MySQL root USER !
To do so, start the server, then issue the following commands:

/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password ' new-password' 
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root -h linuxhelp1 password ' new-password' 

Alternatively you can run:
/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation

which will also give you the option of removing the test
databases and anonymous user created by default.  This is
strongly recommended for production servers.

See the manual for more instructions.

You can start the MySQL daemon with:
cd /usr   /usr/bin/mysqld_safe & 

You can test the MySQL daemon with mysql-test-run.pl
cd /usr/mysql-test   perl mysql-test-run.pl

Please report any problems with the /usr/bin/mysqlbug script!

                                                           [  OK  ]
Starting mysqld:                                           [  OK  ]

Utilise the following command to install Mysql secure for root.

[root@linuxhelp1 ~]# mysql_secure_installation
NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MySQL
      SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE!  PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!

In order to log into MySQL to secure it, we' ll need the current
password for the root user.  If you' ve just installed MySQL, and
you haven' t set the root password yet, the password will be blank,
so you should just press enter here.

Enter current password for root (enter for none):
OK, successfully used password, moving on...

Setting the root password ensures that nobody can log into the MySQL
root user without the proper authorisation.

Set root password? [Y/n]
New password:
Re-enter new password:
Password updated successfully!
Reloading privilege tables..
 ... Success!

By default, a MySQL installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone
to log into MySQL without having to have a user account created for
them.  This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation
go a bit smoother.  You should remove them before moving into a
production environment.

Remove anonymous users? [Y/n]
 ... Success!

Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from ' localhost' .  This
ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.

Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n]
 ... Success!

By default, MySQL comes with a database named ' test'  that anyone can
access.  This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed
before moving into a production environment.

Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n]
 - Dropping test database...
 ... Success!
 - Removing privileges on test database...
 ... Success!

Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far
will take effect immediately.

Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n]
 ... Success!

Cleaning up...


All done!  If you' ve completed all of the above steps, your MySQL
installation should now be secure.

Thanks for using MySQL!

This version of Bugzilla contains some variables that you may want to
change and adapt to your local settings. The following variables are
new to ./localconfig since you last ran checksetup.pl:

create_htaccess, webservergroup, use_suexec, db_driver, db_host,
db_name, db_user, db_pass, db_port, db_sock, db_check,
db_mysql_ssl_ca_file, db_mysql_ssl_ca_path, db_mysql_ssl_client_cert,
db_mysql_ssl_client_key, index_html, interdiffbin, diffpath,
site_wide_secret

Please edit the file ./localconfig and then re-run checksetup.pl
to complete your installation.

Now you have to open the localconfig file and edit the database-name, database-username and database password.

$db_name = ' bugzilladb'  
$db_user = ' user1'  
$db_pass = ' linuxc'  

Save and close the file
Execute the checksetup.
