Bonsai is a web-based tool for managing - CVS, the Concurrent Versioning System - - . Using Bonsai, administrators can control open/closed status of trees, - query a fast relational database back-end for change, branch, and comment - information, and view changes made since the last time the tree was - closed. These kinds of changes cause the engineer responsible to be - "on the hook" - - (include cool URL link here for Hook policies at mozilla.org). Bonsai - also includes gateways to - Tinderbox, the Mozilla automated build management system - - and Bugzilla

D.5. Hacking Bugzilla

The following is a guide for reviewers when checking code into Bugzilla's - CVS repostory at mozilla.org. If you wish to submit patches to Bugzilla, - you should follow the rules and style conventions below. Any code that - does not adhere to these basic rules will not be added to Bugzilla's - codebase. -

D.5.1. Things that have caused problems and should be avoided

  1. Usage of variables in Regular Expressions -

    It is very important that you don't use a variable in a regular - expression unless that variable is supposed to contain an expression. - This especially applies when using grep. You should use: - 

    
grep ($_ eq $value, @array);
-
    -

    -- NOT THIS -- - 

    
grep (/$value/, @array);
-
    -

    If you need to use a non-expression variable inside of an expression, be - sure to quote it properly (using \Q..\E). -

D.5.2. Coding Style for Bugzilla

While it's true that not all of the code currently in Bugzilla adheres to - this (or any) styleguide, it is something that is being worked toward. Therefore, - we ask that all new code (submitted patches and new files) follow this guide - as closely as possible (if you're only changing 1 or 2 lines, you don't have - to reformat the entire file :). -

The Bugzilla development team has decided to adopt the perl style guide as - published by Larry Wall. This giude can be found in "Programming - Perl" (the camel book) or by typing man perlstyle at - your favorite shell prompt. -

What appears below if a brief summary, please refer to the perl style - guide if you don't see your question covered here. It is much better to submit - a patch which fails these criteria than no patch at all, but please try to meet - these minimum standards when submitting code to Bugzilla. -

6.2. CVS

CVS integration is best accomplished, at this point, using the - Bugzilla Email Gateway. There have been some files submitted to allow - greater CVS integration, but we need to make certain that Bugzilla is not - tied into one particular software management package.

Follow the instructions in the FAQ for enabling Bugzilla e-mail - integration. Ensure that your check-in script sends an email to your - Bugzilla e-mail gateway with the subject of - "[Bug XXXX]" - - , and you can have CVS check-in comments append to your Bugzilla bug. If - you have your check-in script include an @resolution field, you can even - change the Bugzilla bug state.

There is also a project, based upon somewhat dated Bugzilla code, - to integrate CVS and Bugzilla through CVS' ability to email. Check it out - at: - http://homepages.kcbbs.gen.nz/~tonyg/ - - , under the - "cvszilla" - - link.

Here are some miscellaneous notes about possible issues you main - run into when you begin your Bugzilla installation. Reference platforms - for Bugzilla installation are Redhat Linux 7.2, Linux-Mandrake 8.0, and - Solaris 8.

If you are installing Bugzilla on S.u.S.e. Linux, or some other - distributions with - "paranoid" - - security options, it is possible that the checksetup.pl script may fail - with the error: - cannot chdir(/var/spool/mqueue): Permission - denied - - This is because your - /var/spool/mqueue - - directory has a mode of - "drwx------" - - . Type - chmod 755 - /var/spool/mqueue - - - as root to fix this problem.
Bugzilla may be installed on Macintosh OS X (10), which is a - unix-based (BSD) operating system. Everything required for Bugzilla on - OS X will install cleanly, but the optional GD perl module which is - used for bug charting requires some additional setup for installation. - Please see the Mac OS X installation section below for details
Release Notes for Bugzilla &bz-ver; are available at - docs/rel_notes.txt - - in your Bugzilla source distribution.
The preferred documentation for Bugzilla is available in docs/, - with a variety of document types available. Please refer to these - documents when installing, configuring, and maintaining your Bugzilla - installation.

Bugzilla is not a package where you can just plop it in a - directory, twiddle a few things, and you're off. Installing Bugzilla - assumes you know your variant of UNIX or Microsoft Windows well, are - familiar with the command line, and are comfortable compiling and - installing a plethora of third-party utilities. To install Bugzilla on - Win32 requires fair Perl proficiency, and if you use a webserver other - than Apache you should be intimately familiar with the security - mechanisms and CGI environment thereof.

Bugzilla has not undergone a complete security review. Security - holes may exist in the code. Great care should be taken both in the - installation and usage of this software. Carefully consider the - implications of installing other network services with Bugzilla.

4.5. General Installation Notes

4.5.2. Upgrading From Previous Versions

A plain Bugzilla is fairly easy to upgrade from one version to a - newer one. However, things get a bit more complicated if you've made - changes to Bugzilla's code. In this case, you may have to re-make or - reapply those changes. It is recommended that you take a backup of your - database and your entire Bugzilla installation before attempting an - upgrade. You can upgrade a 'clean' installation by untarring a new - tarball over the old installation. If you are upgrading from 2.12 or - later, you can type - cvs -z3 update - - , and resolve conflicts if there are any.

Because the developers of Bugzilla are constantly adding new - tables, columns and fields, you'll probably get SQL errors if you just - update the code and attempt to use Bugzilla. Always run the - checksetup.pl - script whenever you upgrade your installation.

If you are running Bugzilla version 2.8 or lower, and wish to - upgrade to the latest version, please consult the file, - "UPGRADING-pre-2.8" in the Bugzilla root directory after untarring the - archive.

4.5.3. .htaccess - files and security

To enhance the security of your Bugzilla installation, Bugzilla's - checksetup.pl script will generate - .htaccess - - - files which the Apache webserver can use to restrict access to the - bugzilla data files. - These .htaccess files will not work with Apache 1.2.x - but this - has security holes, so you shouldn't be using it anyway. -

If you are using an alternate provider of - webdot - - services for graphing (as described when viewing - editparams.cgi - - in your web browser), you will need to change the ip address in - data/webdot/.htaccess - - to the ip address of the webdot server that you are using.

-

The default .htaccess file may not provide adequate access - restrictions, depending on your web server configuration. Be sure to - check the <Directory> entries for your Bugzilla directory so that - the - .htaccess - - file is allowed to override web server defaults. For instance, let's - assume your installation of Bugzilla is installed to - /usr/local/bugzilla - - . You should have this <Directory> entry in your - httpd.conf - - file:

-

  <Directory /usr/local/bugzilla/>
-  Options +FollowSymLinks +Indexes +Includes +ExecCGI
-  AllowOverride All
-</Directory>
-
- -

The important part above is - "AllowOverride All" - - . Without that, the - .htaccess - - file created by - checksetup.pl - - will not have sufficient permissions to protect your Bugzilla - installation.

If you are using Internet Information Server (IIS) or another - web server which does not observe - .htaccess - conventions, you can disable their creation by editing - localconfig - and setting the - $create_htaccess - variable to - 0. -

4.5.5. Preventing untrusted Bugzilla content from executing malicious - Javascript code

It is possible for a Bugzilla to execute malicious Javascript - code. Due to internationalization concerns, we are unable to - incorporate the code changes necessary to fulfill the CERT advisory - requirements mentioned in - http://www.cet.org/tech_tips/malicious_code_mitigation.html/#3. - Executing the following code snippet from a UNIX command shell will - rectify the problem if your Bugzilla installation is intended for an - English-speaking audience. As always, be sure your Bugzilla - installation has a good backup before making changes, and I recommend - you understand what the script is doing before executing it.

bash# perl -pi -e "s/Content-Type\: text\/html/Content-Type\: text\/html\; charset=ISO-8859-1/i" *.cgi *.pl
-
-

All this one-liner command does is search for all instances of - "Content-type: text/html" - - and replaces it with - "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" - - . This specification prevents possible Javascript attacks on the - browser, and is suggested for all English-speaking sites. For - non-English-speaking Bugzilla sites, I suggest changing - "ISO-8859-1", above, to - "UTF-8".

1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS

This License applies to any manual or other work that contains a - notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be distributed under - the terms of this License. The "Document", below, refers to any such - manual or work. Any member of the public is a licensee, and is addressed - as "you".

A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the - Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with - modifications and/or translated into another language.

A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section - of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the - publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject - (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly - within that overall subject. (For example, if the Document is in part a - textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any - mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical connection - with the subject or with related matters, or of legal, commercial, - philosophical, ethical or political position regarding them.

The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose - titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the - notice that says that the Document is released under this License.

The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are - listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says - that the Document is released under this License.

A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy, - represented in a format whose specification is available to the general - public, whose contents can be viewed and edited directly and - straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of - pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available - drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or for - automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input to text - formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file format whose - markup has been designed to thwart or discourage subsequent modification - by readers is not Transparent. A copy that is not "Transparent" is called - "Opaque".

Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain - ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML or - XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML - designed for human modification. Opaque formats include PostScript, PDF, - proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by proprietary word - processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not - generally available, and the machine-generated HTML produced by some word - processors for output purposes only.

The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself, - plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material - this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in formats - which do not have any title page as such, "Title Page" means the text - near the most prominent appearance of the work's title, preceding the - beginning of the body of the text.

3. COPYING IN QUANTITY

If you publish printed copies of the Document numbering more than - 100, and the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must - enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these - Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts - on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify you - as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present the full - title with all words of the title equally prominent and visible. You may - add other material on the covers in addition. Copying with changes - limited to the covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document - and satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in other - respects.

If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit - legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit reasonably) - on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent pages.

If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document - numbering more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable - Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each - Opaque copy a publicly-accessible computer-network location containing a - complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material, which - the general network-using public has access to download anonymously at no - charge using public-standard network protocols. If you use the latter - option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you begin - distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that this - Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated location until - at least one year after the last time you distribute an Opaque copy - (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that edition to the - public.

It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of - the Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to - give them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the - Document.

4. MODIFICATIONS

You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document - under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release - the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified - Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution and - modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy of it. - In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:

  1. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title - distinct from that of the Document, and from those of previous - versions (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History - section of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous - version if the original publisher of that version gives - permission.

  2. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or - entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in the - Modified Version, together with at least five of the principal - authors of the Document (all of its principal authors, if it has less - than five).

  3. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the - Modified Version, as the publisher.

  4. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.

  5. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications - adjacent to the other copyright notices.

  6. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license - notice giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under - the terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum - below.

  7. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant - Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license - notice.

  8. Include an unaltered copy of this License.

  9. Preserve the section entitled "History", and its title, and add - to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and - publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If - there is no section entitled "History" in the Document, create one - stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as - given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified - Version as stated in the previous sentence.

  10. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document - for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise - the network locations given in the Document for previous versions it - was based on. These may be placed in the "History" section. You may - omit a network location for a work that was published at least four - years before the Document itself, or if the original publisher of the - version it refers to gives permission.

  11. In any section entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications", - preserve the section's title, and preserve in the section all the - substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or - dedications given therein.

  12. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document, unaltered - in their text and in their titles. Section numbers or the equivalent - are not considered part of the section titles.

  13. Delete any section entitled "Endorsements". Such a section may - not be included in the Modified Version.

  14. Do not retitle any existing section as "Endorsements" or to - conflict in title with any Invariant Section.

If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or - appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material - copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all of - these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the list of - Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice. These titles - must be distinct from any other section titles.

You may add a section entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains - nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various parties--for - example, statements of peer review or that the text has been approved by - an organization as the authoritative definition of a standard.

You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, - and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the - list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of - Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or through - arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already includes a - cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or by arrangement - made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of, you may not add - another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit permission from the - previous publisher that added the old one.

The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this - License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert - or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.

B.3. MySQL Permissions & Grant Tables

The following portion of documentation comes from my answer to an - old discussion of Keystone, a cool product that does trouble-ticket - tracking for IT departments. I wrote this post to the Keystone support - group regarding MySQL grant table permissions, and how to use them - effectively. It is badly in need of updating, as I believe MySQL has - added a field or two to the grant tables since this time, but it serves - as a decent introduction and troubleshooting document for grant table - issues. I used Keynote to track my troubles until I discovered - Bugzilla, which gave me a whole new set of troubles to work on : ) - Although it is of limited use, it still has SOME use, thus it's still - included.

Please note, however, that I was a relatively new user to MySQL - at the time. Some of my suggestions, particularly in how to set up - security, showed a terrible lack of security-related database - experience.

From matt_barnson@singletrac.com Wed Jul 7 09:00:07 1999
-    Date: Mon, 1 Mar 1999 21:37:04 -0700 From: Matthew Barnson
-    matt_barnson@singletrac.com To: keystone-users@homeport.org Subject:
-    [keystone-users] Grant Tables FAQ [The following text is in the
-    "iso-8859-1" character set] [Your display is set for the "US-ASCII"
-    character set] [Some characters may be displayed incorrectly] Maybe we
-    can include this rambling message in the Keystone FAQ? It gets asked a
-    lot, and the only option current listed in the FAQ is
-    "--skip-grant-tables". Really, you can't go wrong by reading section 6 of
-    the MySQL manual, at http://www.mysql.com/Manual/manual.html. I am sure
-    their description is better than mine. MySQL runs fine without
-    permissions set up correctly if you run the mysql daemon with the
-    "--skip-grant-tables" option. Running this way denies access to nobody.
-    Unfortunately, unless you've got yourself firewalled it also opens the
-    potential for abuse if someone knows you're running it. Additionally, the
-    default permissions for MySQL allow anyone at localhost access to the
-    database if the database name begins with "test_" or is named "test"
-    (i.e. "test_keystone"). You can change the name of your database in the
-    keystone.conf file ($sys_dbname). This is the way I am doing it for some
-    of my databases, and it works fine. The methods described below assume
-    you're running MySQL on the same box as your webserver, and that you
-    don't mind if your $sys_dbuser for Keystone has superuser access. See
-    near the bottom of this message for a description of what each field
-    does. Method #1: 1. cd /var/lib #location where you'll want to run
-    /usr/bin/mysql_install_db shell script from to get it to work. 2. ln -s
-    mysql data # soft links the "mysql" directory to "data", which is what
-    mysql_install_db expects. Alternately, you can edit mysql_install_db and
-    change all the "./data" references to "./mysql". 3. Edit
-    /usr/bin/mysql_install_db with your favorite text editor (vi, emacs, jot,
-    pico, etc.) A) Copy the "INSERT INTO db VALUES
-    ('%','test\_%','','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y');" and paste it immediately
-    after itself. Chage the 'test\_%' value to 'keystone', or the value of
-    $sys_dbname in keystone.conf. B) If you are running your keystone
-    database with any user, you'll need to copy the "INSERT INTO user VALUES
-    ('localhost','root','','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y','Y');" line
-    after itself and change 'root' to the name of the keystone database user
-    ($sys_dbuser) in keystone.conf. # adds entries to the script to create
-    grant tables for specific hosts and users. The user you set up has
-    super-user access ($sys_dbuser) -- you may or may not want this. The
-    layout of mysql_install_db is really very uncomplicated. 4.
-    /usr/bin/mysqladmin shutdown # ya gotta shut it down before you can
-    reinstall the grant tables! 5. rm -i /var/lib/mysql/mysql/*.IS?' and
-    answer 'Y' to the deletion questions. # nuke your current grant tables.
-    This WILL NOT delete any other databases than your grant tables. 6.
-    /usr/bin/mysql_install_db # run the script you just edited to install
-    your new grant tables. 7. mysqladmin -u root password (new_password) #
-    change the root MySQL password, or else anyone on localhost can login to
-    MySQL as root and make changes. You can skip this step if you want
-    keystone to connect as root with no password. 8. mysqladmin -u
-    (webserver_user_name) password (new_password) # change the password of
-    the $sys_dbuser. Note that you will need to change the password in the
-    keystone.conf file as well in $sys_dbpasswd, and if your permissions are
-    set up incorrectly anybody can type the URL to your keystone.conf file
-    and get the password. Not that this will help them much if your
-    permissions are set to @localhost. Method #2: easier, but a pain
-    reproducing if you have to delete your grant tables. This is the
-    "recommended" method for altering grant tables in MySQL. I don't use it
-    because I like the other way :) shell> mysql --user=root keystone
-    mysql> GRANT
-    SELECT,INSERT,UPDATE,DELETE,INDEX,ALTER,CREATE,DROP,RELOAD,SHUTDOWN,PROCESS,
-    FILE, ON keystone.* TO <$sys_dbuser name>@localhost IDENTIFIED BY
-    '(password)' WITH GRANT OPTION; OR mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON
-    keystone.* TO <$sys_dbuser name>@localhost IDENTIFIED BY
-    '(password)' WITH GRANT OPTION; # this grants the required permissions to
-    the keystone ($sys_dbuser) account defined in keystone.conf. However, if
-    you are runnning many different MySQL-based apps, as we are, it's
-    generally better to edit the mysql_install_db script to be able to
-    quickly reproduce your permissions structure again. Note that the FILE
-    privelege and WITH GRANT OPTION may not be in your best interest to
-    include. GRANT TABLE FIELDS EXPLANATION: Quick syntax summary: "%" in
-    MySQL is a wildcard. I.E., if you are defining your DB table and in the
-    'host' field and enter '%', that means that any host can access that
-    database. Of course, that host must also have a valid db user in order to
-    do anything useful. 'db'=name of database. In our case, it should be
-    "keystone". "user" should be your "$sys_dbuser" defined in keystone.conf.
-    Note that you CANNOT add or change a password by using the "INSERT INTO
-    db (X)" command -- you must change it with the mysql -u command as
-    defined above. Passwords are stored encrypted in the MySQL database, and
-    if you try to enter it directly into the table they will not match.
-    TABLE: USER. Everything after "password" is a privelege granted (Y/N).
-    This table controls individual user global access rights.

-    request from an unauthorized HOST, she's denied. If a request from an

-    the picture?
-    'host','db','select','insert','update','delete','index','alter','create','dr

Once you have logged in, you can customise various aspects of - Bugzilla via the "Edit prefs" link in the page footer. - The preferences are split into four tabs:

3.2.2. Email Settings

On this tab you can reduce or increase the amount of email sent - you from Bugzilla, opting in our out depending on your relationship to - the bug and the change that was made to it. (Note that you can also do - client-side filtering using the X-Bugzilla-Reason header which Bugzilla - adds to all bugmail.)

By entering user email names, delineated by commas, into the - "Users to watch" text entry box you can receive a copy of all the - bugmail of other users (security settings permitting.) This powerful - functionality enables seamless transitions as developers change - projects, managers wish to get in touch with the issues faced by their - direct reports, or users go on vacation.

The ability to watch other users may not be available in all - Bugzilla installations. If you can't see it, ask your - administrator.

Post-Installation Checklist
The Bugzilla Guide
PrevChapter 5. Administering BugzillaNext

5.1. Post-Installation Checklist

After installation, follow the checklist below. - If you do not see a recommended - setting for a parameter, consider leaving it at the default while you - perform your initial tests on your Bugzilla setup.

  1. Log in to Bugzilla using the username and password - you defined for the administrator during installation.

  2. Bring up - editparams.cgi - in your web browser (link in footer.) This screen allows you - to change most of Bugzilla's operating parameters. Each comes - with an explanation, and you should go down the list, deciding - on what you want to do about each. -

  3. - maintainer: - The maintainer parameter is the email address of the person - responsible for maintaining this - Bugzilla installation. The address need not be that of a valid Bugzilla - account.

  4. urlbase: - This parameter defines the fully qualified domain name and web - server path to your Bugzilla installation.

    For example, if your Bugzilla query page is - http://www.foo.com/bugzilla/query.cgi, - set your "urlbase" - to http://www.foo.com/bugzilla/.

  5. usebuggroups: - This dictates whether or not to implement group-based security for - Bugzilla. If set, Bugzilla bugs can have an associated 'group', - defining which users are allowed to see and edit the - bug.

    Set "usebuggroups" to "on" - only - if you may wish to restrict access to particular bugs to certain - groups of users. I suggest leaving - this parameter off - while initially testing your Bugzilla.

  6. usebuggroupsentry: - Bugzilla Products can have a group associated with them, so that - certain users can only see bugs in certain products. When this parameter - is set to "on", this places all newly-created bugs in the - group for their product immediately.

  7. shadowdb: - You run into an interesting problem when Bugzilla reaches a - high level of continuous activity. MySQL supports only table-level - write locking. What this means is that if someone needs to make a - change to a bug, they will lock the entire table until the operation - is complete. Locking for write also blocks reads until the write is - complete. The - "shadowdb" - parameter was designed to get around this limitation. While only a - single user is allowed to write to a table at a time, reads can - continue unimpeded on a read-only shadow copy of the database. - Although your database size will double, a shadow database can cause - an enormous performance improvement when implemented on extremely - high-traffic Bugzilla databases.

    As a guide, mozilla.org began needing - "shadowdb" - when they reached around 40,000 Bugzilla users with several hundred - Bugzilla bug changes and comments per day.

    The value of the parameter defines the name of the - shadow bug database. - Set "shadowdb" to e.g. "bug_shadowdb" if you will be running a - *very* large installation of Bugzilla. -

    Enabling "shadowdb" can adversely affect the stability of - your installation of Bugzilla. You should regularly check that your - database is in sync. It is often advisable to force a shadow - database sync nightly via - "cron". -

    -

    If you use the "shadowdb" option, it is only natural that you - should turn the "queryagainstshadowdb" option on as well. Otherwise - you are replicating data into a shadow database for no reason!

  8. shutdownhtml: - - If you need to shut down Bugzilla to perform administration, enter - some descriptive HTML here and anyone who tries to use Bugzilla will - receive a page to that effect. Obviously, editparams.cgi will - still be accessible so you can remove the HTML and re-enable Bugzilla. - :-) -

  9. passwordmail: - - Every time a user creates an account, the text of - this parameter (with substitutions) is sent to the new user along with - their password message.

    Add any text you wish to the "passwordmail" parameter box. For - instance, many people choose to use this box to give a quick training - blurb about how to use Bugzilla at your site.

  10. useqacontact: - - This allows you to define an email address for each component, in - addition - to that of the default owner, who will be sent carbon copies of - incoming bugs.

  11. usestatuswhiteboard: - This defines whether you wish to have a free-form, overwritable field - associated with each bug. The advantage of the Status Whiteboard is - that it can be deleted or modified with ease, and provides an - easily-searchable field for indexing some bugs that have some trait - in common. -

  12. whinedays: - Set this to the number of days you want to let bugs go - in the NEW or REOPENED state before notifying people they have - untouched new bugs. If you do not plan to use this feature, simply do - not set up the whining cron job described in the installation - instructions, or set this value to "0" (never whine).

  13. commenton*: - All these - fields allow you to dictate what changes can pass without comment, - and which must have a comment from the person who changed them. - Often, administrators will allow users to add themselves to the CC - list, accept bugs, or change the Status Whiteboard without adding a - comment as to their reasons for the change, yet require that most - other changes come with an explanation.

    Set the "commenton" options according to your site policy. It - is a wise idea to require comments when users resolve, reassign, or - reopen bugs at the very least. -

    It is generally far better to require a developer comment - when resolving bugs than not. Few things are more annoying to bug - database users than having a developer mark a bug "fixed" without - any comment as to what the fix was (or even that it was truly - fixed!)

    -

  14. supportwatchers: - - Turning on this option allows users to ask to receive copies of - all a particular other user's bug email. This is, of - course, subject to the groupset restrictions on the bug; if the - "watcher" - would not normally be allowed to view a bug, the watcher cannot get - around the system by setting herself up to watch the bugs of someone - with bugs outside her privileges. They would still only receive email - updates for those bugs she could normally view.

D.3. The Quicksearch Utility

Quicksearch is a single-text-box query tool which uses metacharacters - to indicate what is to be searched. For example, "foo@bar.com" would be - looked for in email address fields, because it contains an @ and so - is an email address. -

Quicksearch consists of two Javascript files, - "quicksearch.js" and "localconfig.js", - and two documentation files, "quicksearch.html" and - "quicksearchhack.html". More information on how to use Quicksearch - can be found there. You'll find the Quicksearch box on Bugzilla's - front page.

To take full advantage of the query power, the Bugzilla maintainer - must edit "localconfig.js" and change the parameters according to the local - installation.

Currently, keywords must be hard-coded in localconfig.js. If they - are not, keywords are not automatically recognized. This means, if - localconfig.js is left unconfigured, that searching for a bug with the - "foo" keyword will only find bugs with "foo" in the summary, status - whiteboard, product or component name, but not those with the keyword - "foo".

Workarounds for Bugzilla users: -

search for '!foo' (this will find only bugs with the keyword - "foo"
search 'foo,!foo' (equivalent to 'foo OR keyword:foo')

-

When this tool is ported from client-side JavaScript to server-side - Perl, the requirement for hard-coding keywords can be fixed. - This - bug - - has details.

4.3. Win32 Installation Notes

This section covers installation on Microsoft Windows 95, 98, ME, - NT, and 2000. Bugzilla works fine on Win32 platforms, but please remember - that the Bugzilla team and the author of the Guide neither endorse nor - support installation on Microsoft Windows. Bugzilla installs and runs - best - - and - easiest - - on UNIX-like operating systems, and that is the way it will stay for the - foreseeable future. The Bugzilla team is considering supporting Win32 for - the 2.16 release and later.

The easiest way to install Bugzilla on Intel-archiecture machines +>This section covers installation on Microsoft Windows. + Bugzilla has been made to work on Win32 platforms, but the Bugzilla team + wish to emphasise that The easiest way to install Bugzilla on + Intel-archiecture machines is to install some variant of GNU/Linux, then follow the UNIX installation instructions in this Guide. If you have any influence in the platform choice for running this system, please choose GNU/Linux instead of Microsoft Windows.

After that warning, here's the situation for 2.16 + and Windows. It doesn't work at all out of the box. + You are almost certainly better off getting + the 2.17 version from CVS (after consultation with the Bugzilla Team to + make sure you are pulling on a stable day) because we'll be doing a load + of work to make the Win32 experience more pleasant than it is now. +

If you still want to try this, to have any hope of getting it to work, + you'll need to apply the + mail patch from + bug 124174. + After that, you'll need to read the (outdated) installation + instructions below, some (probably a lot better) more + recent ones kindly provided by Toms Baugis and Jean-Sebastien + Guay, and also check the + Bugzilla 2.16 Win32 update page + . If we get time, + we'll write some better installation instructions for 2.16 and put + them up there. But no promises. +
