最近在做Bugzilla一些增强应用，Bugzilla是perl语言编写的，就想着先装一套Bugzilla的运行环境起来，这个安装起来还真费工夫，特别是里面的perl module的一些依赖关系，让人挺崩溃的，于是记录整个过程如下：

Overview:

1. Install Perl (5.8.1 or above)

2. Install a Database Engine

3. Install a Webserver

4. Install Bugzilla

5. Install Perl modules

6. Install a Mail Transfer Agent (Sendmail 8.7 or above, or an MTA that is Sendmail-compatible with at least this version)

7. Configure all of the above.

8. Create localconfig file using checksetup.pl

9. Modify the localconfig file.

10. Database Server (Oracle)

11. Bugzilla using Apache

12. Login Bugzilla

13. Create a new bugzilla project

14. Upgrading to New Release using tarball

15. Issues and Troubleshooting

Steps:

[Section 1~4]

1. Perl

[root@centos ~]# uname -a

Linux centos 2.6.9-78.EL #1 Thu Jul 24 23:46:01 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

[root@centos ~]# perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.5 built for i386-linux-thread-multi

Most Linux distributions comes with perl,If you don’t have it and your OS doesn’t provide official packages,

visit http://www.perl.com.

2. Database Engine

Bugzilla supports MySQL, PostgreSQL and Oracle as database servers.

I choose Oracle database Release 10.2.0.1.0.

And you can refer to Oracle installation on http://www.oracle.com

3. Web Server

If you already have apache installed, make sure you are able to access it by using http://{your-ip-address}.

OR

[root@centos ~]# apachectl -v

Server version: Apache/2.0.52

Server built: Jul 25 2008 03:17:15

If you don’t have Apache and your OS doesn’t provide official packages, visit http://httpd.apache.org/.

4. Install Bugzilla

Download the release from http://bugzilla.org/download,or you can from ftp site:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/webtools/

# cd /var/www/html

# ls

bugzilla-3.2.5.tar.gz

# tar xvfz bugzilla-3.2.5.tar.gz

Once all the files are in a web accessible directory, make that directory writable by your web server’s user.

This is a temporary step until you run the checksetup.pl script, which locks down your installation.
