LinuxQuestions.org - Apache and/or Bugzilla issue

In your /etc/httpd directory (where httpd.conf lives), see if you have an extra subdirectory. If you do, add a file, httpd-bugzilla.conf in the extra directory with this content:

Code:

# Bugzilla

<Directory "/srv/httpd/htdocs/bugzilla">

        AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

        Options +Indexes +ExecCGI

        DirectoryIndex index.cgi

        AllowOverride Limit

</Directory>

The "/srv/httpd/htdocs/bugzilla" is where your Bugzilla directory is in your server tree. It can be either a symbolic link or the actual directory (mine is the actual directory in /var/www/htdocs/bugzilla, yours may vary but it's the same idea).

You don't really want to use an absolute path here, "srv" is a token that Apache uses to determine the path.

Now, if you have /etc/httpd/extra, add the following at the end of /etc/httpd/httpd.conf

Code:

# Uncomment the following line to enable Bugzilla:

#

Include /etc/httpd/extra/httpd-bugzilla.conf

If you do not have /etc/httpd/extra, you can simply add the above "Directory" lines to end of /etc/httpd/httpd.conf.

Stop the server, start the server and see if you've got it.

Just in case, make sure that your DirectoryIndex section looks like this (I've added PHP to it)

Code:

#

# DirectoryIndex: sets the file that Apache will serve if a directory

# is requested.

#

<IfModule dir_module>

    DirectoryIndex index.html index.php

</IfModule>

I assume you have a web page that you are able to access? If you do and can't, you'll need to solve that first. This is where a fixed-IP address for your box comes in handy; e.g., my server is fixed-IP at 192.168.1.10 and, in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf the "Listen" section looks like this:

Code:

#

# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or

# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>

# directive.

#

# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to

# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.

#

#Listen 12.34.56.78:80

#Listen 80

Listen 192.168.1.10:80

Works just fine, that. But, then so does VirtualHost or simply leaving it to "Listen 80." Up to you.

Bugzilla has always been just a little tricky to get going but the above seems to work pretty well.

Hope this helps some.
