Hi all,

My bugzilla installation is not working and i can't seem to pinpoint the problem. When i try to log on to the bugzilla server it says forbidden. I have included the checksetup.pl output and i think it maybe something to do with the last quarter of the output but i have no idea what it means or how to remedy it (maybe an mysql problem?). I'm using Suse linux 10.1. I will try to provide any other information you may need and all help would be greatly appreciated.

WARNING! You have not entered a value for the "webservergroup" parameter
in localconfig. This means that certain files and directories which need
to be editable by both you and the webserver must be world writable, and
other files (including the localconfig file which stores your database

local access to this machine can do whatever they want to your Bugzilla
installation, and is probably also able to run arbitrary Perl code as the
user that the webserver runs as.

You really, really, really need to change this setting.

Hi,
I think you already had a database named 'bugs' in MySql. If you want to perform a new bugzilla installation then you need to drop all the tables from the 'bugs' database and rerun the checksetup.pl script. It will automatically create all the tables for you.

If you want to upgrade bugzilla then copy localconfig* and data folder in the old bugzilla directory into the new bugzilla directory and rerun the checksetup.pl script file.

For further information on bugzilla installation and upgradation refer to http://bugzilla.org/

I dropped the bugs mysql table with the command:

mysqladmin drop bugs

it did that successfully then i ran checksetup.pl again and it recreated a bugs table.

but still the same problem as i mentioned in the first post. i ran checksetup.pl once again and it produced the same output as before.

here is the error log i found.. it it helps with diagnose.
