What is Bugzilla?

Bugzilla is a free and open source bug following and programming testing tool which is written in perl and use mysql as a backend database. It is very useful tool to track the bug and change code of the application.

Pre-requisite to install Bugzilla on centos server

Before installing the Bugzilla first we have to ensure that all packages are up to date using the below command.

#yum update –y

After the we need to install EPEL repol by using the below command.
#yum install epel-release yum-utils –y

Installation LAMP stack

Before installing and setup Bugzilla we need to install LAMP stack. To install LAMP stack we execute the below command.

[root@localhost ~]# yum install httpd mariadb mariadb-server httpd-devel mod_ssl mod_ssl mod_perl mod_perl-devel mariadb-devel php-mysql gcc gcc-c++ graphviz graphviz-devel patchutils gd gd-devel wget perl* -y

After installing the all required packages we start the service . To start the service we execute the below command.

[root@localhost ~]# systemctl start httpd

[root@localhost ~]# systemctl start mariadb

Configuration  of Mariadb database for Bugzilla on centos server

After installing the database we need to secure the database using the below command.

#mysql_secure_installation

NOTE: RUNNING ALL PARTS OF THIS SCRIPT IS RECOMMENDED FOR ALL MariaDB

      SERVERS IN PRODUCTION USE!  PLEASE READ EACH STEP CAREFULLY!

In order to log into MariaDB to secure it, we'll need the current

password for the root user.  If you've just installed MariaDB, and

you haven't set the root password yet, the password will be blank,

so you should just press enter here.

Enter current password for root (enter for none):

OK, successfully used password, moving on...

Setting the root password ensures that nobody can log into the MariaDB

root user without the proper authorisation.

Set root password? [Y/n] y

New password:

Re-enter new password:

Password updated successfully!

Reloading privilege tables..

 ... Success!

By default, a MariaDB installation has an anonymous user, allowing anyone

to log into MariaDB without having to have a user account created for

them.  This is intended only for testing, and to make the installation

go a bit smoother.  You should remove them before moving into a

production environment.

Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] y

 ... Success!

Normally, root should only be allowed to connect from 'localhost'.  This

ensures that someone cannot guess at the root password from the network.

Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] y

 ... Success!

By default, MariaDB comes with a database named 'test' that anyone can

access.  This is also intended only for testing, and should be removed

before moving into a production environment.

Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] y

 - Dropping test database...

 ... Success!

 - Removing privileges on test database...

 ... Success!

Reloading the privilege tables will ensure that all changes made so far

will take effect immediately.

Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] y

 ... Success!

Cleaning up...

All done!  If you've completed all of the above steps, your MariaDB

installation should now be secure.

Thanks for using MariaDB!

After that restart the service using the below command.

#systemctl restart mariadb

Now create the Bugzilla database and user using the below steps.

# mysql -u root -p

MariaDB [(none)]> create database bugzilladb;

MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE USER bug@localhost IDENTIFIED BY "bug";

MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL ON bugzilladb.* TO bug@localhost;

MariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

MariaDB [(none)]> exit
