In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Bugzilla on EndeavourOS. Bugzilla is a web-based software designed to track bugs and issues in software development. It is used by many software development teams around the world to keep track of their bugs and issues.
Before we start, make sure you have root access to your EndeavourOS machine, and that you have installed the latest updates.
To install Bugzilla on EndeavourOS, we need to install some required packages first. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo pacman -S apache mysql php php-gd php-mysql perl-cgi perl-dbd-mysql perl-xml-parser
This command will install Apache web server, MySQL database, PHP, and some required libraries for Perl.
Now, we need to download the latest version of Bugzilla from its official website https://www.bugzilla.org/.
You can use the following command to download the latest version:
wget https://www.bugzilla.org/download/
Extract the downloaded ZIP file with the following command:
unzip bugzilla-X.Y.Z.zip
Replace "X.Y.Z" with the version number you downloaded.
Next, we need to create a new database for Bugzilla in MySQL. To do that, run the following commands, and replace "bugzilla" with your preferred database name:
sudo mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE bugzilla;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON bugzilla.* TO 'bugzilla'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit;
Replace "password" with your preferred password.
Now that we have the required packages and the database setup, we need to configure Bugzilla.
Open a terminal, navigate to the Bugzilla directory, and run the following command to start the configuration process:
./checksetup.pl
This command will check for any missing dependencies and create a localconfig file. Follow the instructions on the screen and provide the required details, such as database name, database username, and password.
Once the configuration process is complete, run the following command to update your database:
./checksetup.pl --check-modules --run-filters
Next, we need to configure Apache to serve Bugzilla. Open a terminal and run the following command:
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Add the following lines to the end of the file:
Alias /bugzilla/ "/path/to/bugzilla/"
<Directory "/path/to/bugzilla">
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Options +Indexes +ExecCGI
DirectoryIndex index.cgi
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
Replace "/path/to/bugzilla/" with the path to your Bugzilla directory.
Save and close the file.
Finally, restart Apache with the following command:
sudo systemctl restart httpd.service
Now, you can access Bugzilla by visiting http://localhost/bugzilla/ in your web browser. Login with the administrator account you created during the configuration process.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured Bugzilla on EndeavourOS. You can now use it to track your software development bugs and issues.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
