I am working on a project to install Bugzilla on a Ubutu 20 LTS server. I will go over all the steps that I’ve taken and the pitfalls that I have encountered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know I need the Apache web server and Mysql for sure, but there may be other requirements. I got those requirements from this page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
https:\/\/www.bugzilla.org\/requirements\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n I was almost right. It turns out that Bugzilla needs a database server, a web server, and Perl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Created Clone 01<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n I used https:\/\/linuxhint.com\/install_apache_web_server_ubuntu\/<\/a> for a step by step procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The process worked as described, with one exception. I was unable to view the web server from another machine on my network because I am using an Oracle VM VirtualBox<\/strong>. The server wasn’t reachable because the networking config in VirtualBox was set for NAT <\/strong>so I changed it to Bridged Adapter<\/strong> as described on this page. https:\/\/askubuntu.com\/questions\/52147\/how-can-i-access-apache-on-virtualbox-guest-from-host<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n I then tested by pointing my web browser to http:\/\/serveripaddress and it showed the default apache page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This step took a while to install all these things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This installation was successful as described.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Created Clone 02<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Install MariaDB database <\/p>\n\n\n\n This worked as expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pitfall 01:<\/strong> I forgot to edit the .\/localconfig to change the database, username and password for mysql. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Pitfall 02: <\/strong>I do not have a group called apache. I edited .\/localconfig to add the group to www-data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pitfall 03: <\/strong>I do not have a ServerName configured in apache. Added this line: <\/p>\n\n\n\n ServerName localhost<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pitfall 04:<\/strong> apache needs a for CGI for perl. Added apache directive to use CGI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Create clone 03<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I am working on a project to install Bugzilla on a Ubutu 20 LTS server.
