Bugzilla

Installing bugzilla on OS X Server:

Unpack source into chosen web directory

Run ./checksetup.pl and install missing perl modules as described (accept all default answers for the Template module configuration)

Skipping GD and friends for now

Install DBD::mysql as described here: http://www.truerwords.net/articles/osx/install_dbd_mysql.html

Remove all instances of "-arch i386" from DBD::mysql's Makefile before running 'make' or it will fail

Customize the localconfig file

Webserver group set to www

Set mysql username / db name / password as follows:

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'monty'@'localhost'
    ->     IDENTIFIED BY 'some_pass' WITH GRANT OPTION;

Run ./checksetup.pl again, this time it should set everything up.

In the apachec config for your bugzilla site, add:

 Options +ExecCGI +FollowSymLinks
 AllowOverride Limit
