Howto install Bugzilla on Ubuntu 11.04

Update : 1st may 2011 : Updated the installation for Ubuntu 11.04 and Bugzilla 4.0

I was trying out bugzilla installation on Ubuntu. Although there is a bugzilla3 package I never was able to properly configure it. Today, decided to look at this issue again and googled for any HOWTOs. I got this sweet piece of setup at : Handyowner . There are some formatting issues which made me struggle a bit - so here is the reformated installation guide.

Assumptions:
Ubuntu is already installed and configured on your target machine.
The machine is connected to the Internet you can browse the World Wide Web.
Here are the main steps:
  1. Install Per l(5.8.1 or above)
  2. Install MySQL
  3. Install Apache2
  4. Install Bugzilla 3.2
  5. Install Perl modules
  6. Bugzilla using apache
1. Perl
Verify if Perl is installed:

$ perl -v
If not installed :

$ sudo apt-get install perl
2. MySQL
Verify if MySQL is installed:

$ mysql --version
If not installed :

$ sudo apt-get install mysql-client mysql-server mysql-admin
Create “bugzilla” user with a strong password:
$ sudo useradd -d /home/bugzilla -m bugzilla
$ sudo passwd bugzilla
Tip! Here is what makes a password strong: make it lengthy, combine letters, numbers and symbols, use words and phrases that are easy for you to remember, but difficult for others to guess.
Create a database ‘bugzilla’ and grant privileges to ‘bugzilla’ database to ‘bugzilla’ user:

Tip! I usually set the bugzilla user password through the mysql admin interface ( Application -> Programming -> MySql Adminstrator).
$ mysql -u root -p
mysql> create database bugzilla;
mysql> show databases;
+--------------------+
| Database |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| bugzilla |
+--------------------+

2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
mysql> grant all privileges on bugzilla.* to bugzilla@localhost;
3. Apache2
Verify if Apache is installed:

$ apache2 -v
You can also view in a web browser the default welcome page at http://localhost
If not installed :

$ sudo apt-get install apache2
4. Bugzilla 3.2.2
Download Bugzilla from the site “ http://www.bugzilla.org/”.
Tip! Download a stable release, unless (1) you would like to go bleeding edge, (2) you do not care about spending time with your girlfriend, your wife, your kids or your buddies, (3) your boss said so and you couldn’t say no.
Untar the downloaded file to your download folder

$sudo tar -xvf bugzilla-3.2.2.tar
Move bugzilla dirrectory to /usr/local/

$ sudo mv /download/bugzilla-3.2.2 /usr/local/
Make a symbolic link from /usr/local/bugzilla3.x to /var/www/bugzilla

$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/bugzilla3.x /var/www/bugzilla
5. Perl Modules
Bugzilla’s installation process is based on a script called checksetup.pl. The first thing it checks is whether you have appropriate versions of all the required Perl modules. The aim of this section is to pass this check.

Verify if Perl modules are installed

$:/usr/local/bugzilla-3.2.2$ sudo ./checksetup.pl --check-modules
If not installed:

$:/usr/local/bugzilla-3.2.2$ sudo perl -MCPAN -e install
Edit the ‘localconfig’ file

$:/usr/local/bugzilla-3.2.2$ sudo gedit localconfig

Change the $db_name, $db_pass and $db_user value to the correct values. Here's how it looks like in my localconfig (replace the password with your actual password, this is just a placeholder here)

# The name of the database
$db_name = 'bugzilla';

# Who we connect to the database as.
$db_user = 'bugzilla';

# Enter your database password here.
$db_pass = 'bugzilla@123';


Run the checksetup.pl again. This will add a whole lot of tables for bugzilla, and you can verify that by looking at the tables in the 'bugzilla' database.

$:/usr/local/bugzilla-3.2.2$ sudo ./checksetup.pl
6. Configure Apache2 for Bugzilla
Add the following directives to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
$sudo gedit /etc/apache2/apache2.conf




*Note : Since the brackets give problem with blogger, added pic for the relevant code changes. All the non commented lines are what you have to type in.



7. Additional security
create user “apache2″

$ sudo useradd -d /home/apache2 -m apache2
$ sudo passwd apache2
Edit /etc/apache2/envvars to add. This is how my config looks
export APACHE_RUN_USER=apache2
export APACHE_RUN_GROUP=apache2
Note : The default user and group is www-data. I don't really know how to setup the export to use both the www-data and the apache2 user simultaneously. If anyone can help with the syntax, it will be great ! 

Edit /usr/local/bugzilla-3.2.2/localconfig to add

$webservergroup = ‘apache2′;
Rerun checksetup.pl

$:/usr/local/bugzilla-3.2.2$ sudo ./checksetup.pl
This will ask you to setup your administrator for bugzilla. Go ahead and enter the password and email ids.


8. Check the Installation
Restart the apache server using the command

$ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Type the in your browser http://localhost/bugzilla/ . You should be getting the bugzilla login page. Login using the email and password you did at end of pt 7.

  1. For what it's worth, some of these instructions should just be replaced with a link to the standard Bugzilla 3.2 Configuration Manual:

  2. Your point 6 form me didn't work.
    I had to do it like this:

    Directory /var/www/bugzilla

    AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
    Options +Indexes +ExecCGI +FollowSymLinks
    DirectoryIndex index.cgi
    AllowOverride Limit

    /Directory

  3. After follow all the steps,when I'm trying to access to the http://localhost/bugzilla I get the following error "Forbiden you dont have permission to access /bugzilla on this server". Any idea?

    2. Try with:
      1. Change Deny from all to Allow from all in the default configuration for the apache directory
      2. chown -R www-data: /var/www/bugzilla

      Delete
  4. Anon, apache needs read access to the bugzilla scripts. Try

    chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/bugzilla

    ReplyDelete
  5. @Pat , the angular brackets were being gobbled up by the blogger engine, and that was hiding everything between them - in this case the keyword 'directory' . I have removed the brackets.. and put a note there. Thanks for pointing it out !

    @Devon, I don't remember doing that step, but that might be what is causing problems for Anon.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Added a screenshot of the offending piece of configuration.

    @Anon, you might have missed the Alias line ( check screenshot)

  10. What about email set-up? I've got a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10 and I've followed these steps to get bugzilla up and running but the box is not configured to do anything with email.

  12. Hi,

    i did follow the instructions; at the end when I try to start bugzilla in the browser I get the Forbidden error 403 as well so what can I do. I tried chown on www-data but nothing changed..
    Please help - write the answer here

    ReplyDelete
  13. @anon, what is the ownership on the bugzilla folder for your system ? It should be in the apache2 group.

    ReplyDelete
  14. @Colin, Sorry about the delayed response here. I hope your problem has been sorted out.

    Did you install perl using apt-get or are you manually building it ?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Nice blog helped a lot
    Please mention the the Ownership settings for the Directory in the blog itself so that it saves time ;)

    ReplyDelete
  16. Nice blog! I followed the instructions...but
    got following failure as I run
    ./testserver.pl http://192.168.0.243/bugzilla

    TEST-FAILED Webserver is not executing CGI files
    Any idea why this failure?
    BTW,I have followed step 6 in this blog.
    Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  17. It looks like your apache installation has a problem with the cgi handler. Please check the following page
    http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/cgi.html

    I hope that will help in getting the issue sorted out.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Yes, that's the problem. I found the cgi-scripts
    are at different location than what I have put in
    Alias directive...ist's working when I change directive url. Thanks.
    Somehow my installation has perl and cgi scripts are at diffrent location. Now cgi scripts working, perl
    scripts stop working.
    Thankyou. Your tip helped me to understand the problem.

    ReplyDelete
  19. @Banani ... great to see it worked out finally for you.

    I am quite surprised that Bugzilla being such a popular software has such a pathetic installation , and that too not properly documented.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I have install bugzilla using apt-get ...that's
    might be reason behind installing the scripts at different directores.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Yeah. That could probably be the reason.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Hey there.. great guide.. i'm a newbie to linux, databases, and everything acutally and this is my first time using bugzilla at all.. but with some som adjustment i got made it work.. (bugzilla 3.4.6 btw) ..

    thanks alot (:

    ReplyDelete
  23. Another option is to use a hosted Bugzilla instance like devZing.com provides.

    ReplyDelete
  24. @Anon Glad the guide was of help.

    @Wayne That definitely is an option - if the corporate is ok with hosting their code in the cloud. Also, this guide is there as there will be people who want to setup the software for their own purpose in-house.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I followed the guide which is great but when I run the Bugzilla URL it just displays the website file in text rather than runing up the proper website. Any ideas?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Its nice steps to newbe

    thank you

    ReplyDelete
  27. @Anonymous - if you are seeing the text it means that your apache configuration for perl is not correct. So, what is happening is that the perl page instead of being converted to html, is getting dumped as plain text.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Thanks a lot, your article saved me today. keep it up!

    ReplyDelete
  29. @Pascal Awesome ! I like success stories :)

  30. Hi Vibhu, I tried the steps mentioned in your blog and I got stuck up during the installation of the Perl. - ($:/usr/local/bugzilla-3.2.2$ sudo ./checksetup.pl --check-modules.)

  31. I am not sure about how to install on Ubuntu 8.10. Why not upgrade to the later versions ?

  32. I'm also having the same trouble as Anand, and I'm running 10.4. Any ideas for how to get around the Perl issue?

    Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  41. Vibhu what version on Ubuntu where you running when you installed Bugzilla 3.2.2? Jackolope or Koala?

    ReplyDelete
  42. Hi all,
    Just thought I'd put my 2 cents in.
    It didn't work for me with 10.04 due to MYSQL 5.1.31 and above no longer letting you write 'SET SESSION max_allowed_packet = xxxx'.

    So I installed Ubuntu 9 (Jaunty Jackalope)
    add these to /etc/apt/sources.list:
    #mysql
    deb http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper main universe
    deb http://ubuntu.intergenia.de/ubuntu/ dapper main universe
    deb http://mirror.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/pub/linux/distributions/ubuntu/ dapper main universe

    Then installed mysql-server-5.0 as I had problems with 4.1.

    Then downloaded the relevant modules when checksetup complained using apt-cache search.

    Then when it complained about a password ROOT@LOCALHOST i then did:
    mysql -u root -p
    mysql-> SET PASSWORD FOR 'bugzilla'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('');

    Hope that helps :-)

    As I was tearing my hair out, encountering problem after problem

    ReplyDelete
  43. All in all a very good tutorial!

    ReplyDelete
  44. i followed all the instructions here but when i run ./checksetup.pl the ff. will be displayed displayed
    ./localconfig: Permission denied at Bugzilla/Install/Localconfig.pm line 355, line 522.

    ReplyDelete
  45. btw, my problem was solve. i just re configure bugzilla again BUT i can't access htt://localhost/bugzilla.it has this message
    Not Found

    The requested URL /bugzilla/ was not found on this server.
    Apache/2.2.12 (Ubuntu) Server at localhost Port 80

    ReplyDelete
  46. @Ann is http://localhost/ going ok ?

    Also check the permissions on the bugzilla symbolic link that was created. That may be creating issues.

    Vibhu

    ReplyDelete
  47. Thanks for posting, Vibhu. The one issue I had was not being able to install DateTime and Template perl modules, but I found this solution elsewhere:
    $ sudo apt-get update
    $ sudo apt-get install build-essential

    Apparently I needed a c compiler =8-) Works just fine!
    Cheers,

  53. Vibhu,
    Great Post helped me out big time by the way I used your post to instal bugzilla 4.0.1. worked like charm.

    Only snag i ran it to was 403 forbidden error and it was due to my soft linkage in step 4.

    I literately used "bugzilla3.x" instead of using perticular path.

    $ sudo ln -s /usr/local/bugzilla3.x /var/www/bugzilla

    once i rectified my softlink by removing and re-adding no problemo.

  56. Hello, I am wondering if someone can help me. I literally just started learning Ubuntu 11.0.4 and I am trying to setup Bugzilla. I followed all the instructions and I am still unable to get the login page to come up. It appears that when I run the checksetup.pl after making the edits for Apache, I get the following error:

    Initializing "Dependency Tree Changes" email_setting ...
    DBD::mysql::db selectrow_array failed: Incorrect file format 'bugs_fulltext' [for Statement "SELECT 1 FROM bugs_fulltext LIMIT 1"] at Bugzilla/Install/DB.pm line 3177

    It appears this doesn't complete, any ideas why?

  57. I fixed the issue above by restalling Ubuntu several times and following all the steps to install Bugzilla. I was finanlly successful but had issues when I rebooted. One important step is missing and the following link can help:

  70. Hi Vibhu,

    I am installing bugzilla on Ubuntu 12.

    ./checksetup.pl is successful.
    Mysql is running with no problem.
    apache2 is also running fine.
    apache2.cnf file is configured fine with necessary changes.

    but when I try to access the bugzilla page with http:\\ - An error display "Page not found".

    When I try to access http:\\localhost - An error reports "Not Found

    The requested URL /localhost was not found on this server.
    Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu) Server at 127.0.0.1 Port 80"

    So kindly suggest me what could be the problem?

    Thanks,

  71. Hi Vibhu,

    I am installing bugzilla 4.2.4 on ubuntu 12.04. localconfig file is not getting created in the bugzilla directory. So , when I run localhost/bugzilla I am getting .data/params file doesn't exist error. If I run ./checksetup.pl, it says XML Twig is not installed. But it's already up to date. Kindly help me fix this.

    I got forbidden errors because of the link to /usr/local.
    Solution:
    mv /usr/local/bugzilla /var/www

  73. In case it helps anyone, I found that I had to comment out this line:-

    Options -Indexes

    In the .htaccess file in the root of the installation before it would load.

    1. hmm. not too sure.

      Can you check if http://localhost is loading properly on a web browser ?
      Then check if permissions on the files is ok.
