How to install and configure Bugzilla on CentOS 7 step by step guide
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
#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
