Bugzilla on Sheeva Plug/Fedora-ARM

>== Steps to be followed to setup Bugzilla ==

Information about downloading the RFS, using the RFS, booting up through NFS and getting to the console is found here

To start with you need to install two packages - bugzilla and mysql-server.

  * yum install bugzilla
  * yum install mysql-server

Next you will need to start web server - httpd. It will be installed through the dependency of bugzilla itself.

  * /etc/init.d/service httpd start

Edit the file /etc/bugzilla/localconfig. The $db_pass variable is set to null by default. However null passwords are not allowed for administrative account of bugzilla so set it to some value.

  * For eg. change $db_pass = ; to $db_pass = 'dbpass'; 

Then you need to explicitly add following two parameters in the [mysqld] section of /etc/my.conf

  * max_allowed_packet=1M
  * ft_min_word_len=2

Start the mysql-server

  * /etc/init.d/mysqld start

Now go to the mysql prompt. Add a user in mysql by issuing following command. The last parameter is the password that you have set in /etc/bugzilla/localconfig

  * mysql> GRANT SELECT, INSERT,
         ->            UPDATE, DELETE, INDEX, ALTER, CREATE, LOCK TABLES,
         ->            CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, DROP, REFERENCES ON bugs.*
         ->            TO bugs@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'dbpass';

Finally execute following command to start bugzilla -

  * /usr/share/bugzilla/checksetup.pl 

You can access it through browser by -> http://ip_obtained_by_sheevaplug/bugzilla

So next time you boot through the same file system you will need to execute following 3 steps to start bugzilla

  * /etc/init.d/httpd start
  * /etc/init.d/mysqld start
  * /usr/share/bugzilla/checksetup.pl
