Once that’s done, the BZ IIS pagethen directs you to download and install ActiveState Perl. Again, it will make the later steps easier to follow. I strongly recommend that you move all the files and sub-directories under this sub-directory-on my system it was C:\Bugzilla\bugzilla-3.0.3-directly under the C:\Bugzilla directory. Note that, by default, when the TarBall is extracted, it will create a sub-directory under C:\Bugzilla with the version number. It makes it a lot easier to follow the directions if you do this. The directions suggest that you create, and extract the files into, C:\Bugzilla I second the recommendation.
#ACTIVEPERL 5.8.9.827 FREE#
The instructions boil down to extracting the files into a directory WinZip will handle the extraction (there is a free evaluation version available at that link) if you don’t already have a utility that handles TarBalls. Instead, scroll down to the instructions under the heading “ Installing BugZilla From the TarBall“, and follow them.
They start with instructions for downloading BugZilla from CVS I recommend that you don’t do this. Start there, and follow their directions to download BugZilla itself: version 3.0.3 is the latest stable release at the time of this writing. For simplicity’s sake, from now on I will refer to this page as “ the BZ IIS page“. Downloading the required softwareīugZilla has a page that will at least get you started installing BugZilla on Windows. NOTE: this information was accurate when I posted it, for my system I take no responsibility for any issues you may experience, and I can’t guarantee these steps will work for you. It occurred to me that, considering the difficulties I had, and the fact that the information that is available is spread out over the Internet, and much of the crucial information is not out there at all, it might be a service to the community to post what I found out. I chose to set BugZilla up to use IIS because I am already running it for web development, and I wanted to keep things relatively simple.Īfter a near-all-nighter, and another day of hair-pulling frustration, I got BugZilla up and working on IIS.
On Windows, BugZilla gives you the choice of running in the open-source Apache webserver, or Windows’ built-in webserver, IIS. Never having used one, I decided to try the open-source BugZilla to get a feel for how these kinds of programs work and what the features are. Recently, I found myself in need of a bug-tracking solution. 13, 2010: I have just added a post on updating BugZilla to v3.6.2 from the below-mentioned version.
