2. Unpack distribution into the chosen directory (there is no copying or
installation involved).

6. Run checksetup.pl once more; if all goes well, it should set up the
Bugzilla database for you. If not, move back to step 5.
7. Configure Apache (or install and configure, if you don't have it up
yet) to point to the Bugzilla directory. You should enable and
activate mod_cgi, and add the configuration entries
-
+
Options +ExecCGI
AllowOverride Limit
DirectoryIndex index.cgi
-
+
to your Bugzilla <Directory> block. You may also need
-
+
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
-
+
if you don't have that in your Apache configuration file yet.
8. Visit the URL you chose for Bugzilla. Your browser should display the
mozilla-webtools@mozilla.org mailing list -- don't write to the
developer mailing list: your post *will* be ignored if you do.
