The Network Administrator

To configure MySQL, you need to add the bugzilla user and bugzilla database to MySQL. You can use MySQL tools - either the command line or the mysql-administrator GUI tool.

Configure /etc/bugzilla/localconfig with the right database information:

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

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

# Enter your database password here.
$db_pass = 'dbPASSWORD';

Bugzilla files are stored in /usr/share/bugzilla. Change into that directory and run perl checksetup.pl

As a note if you wish to use LDAP Authentication, it is easiest to config that here /var/lib/bugzilla/data and then type vim params

you will want to add these lines to the top of your configuration similar to the one below.

%param = (
'LDAPBaseDN' => 'DC=domainname,DC=com',
'LDAPbinddn' => 'CN=bugzilla,OU=Misc,OU=Server Access,OU=OUNAME,DC=DCNAME,DC=com:bugzillapasswordhere',
'LDAPfilter' => '',
'LDAPmailattribute' => 'mail',
'LDAPserver' => 'domainname.com',
'LDAPstarttls' => 0,
'LDAPuidattribute' => 'sAMAccountName',

Once you have made the changes type Esc :wq! to save quit

The last thing I want to mention is that if you plan on using the new or old charts you will need to first creat a cron job to collect the data everyday and you will also need to adjust security a little.

This should bring up the crontab file in your editor. Add a cron entry like this to run collectstats.pl daily at 5 after midnight:

At a prompt type crontab -e

then type 5 0 * * * cd ; ./collectstats.pl

then press Esc and then :wq! to save and quit

Also so that mysql and httpd start automatically type these to commands at a prompt
