Tool-Free Installation Of Bugzilla On Solaris 9

This is not a substitute for reading the documentation. I just found that building things (like mysql and the DBD:: modules) from scratch incredibly painful and it turns out if you use the right components you don't have to re-invent the wheel.

Note deviations for Solaris 10 listed at the end of the article.

  • Get blastwave's pkg-get
  • pkgadd -d ./pkg-get.pkg
  • vi /opt/csw/etc/pkg-get.conf to taste (I usually select the second mirror, as the primary sometimes get unusably busy when a linux kernel is released)
  • cp /var/pkg-get/admin-fullauto /var/pkg-get/admin
  • /opt/csw/bin/pkg-get -i textutils mysql4 mysql4bench mysql4client mysql4devel mysql4rt mysql4test perl apache wget ncftp gmake gcc2 pm_timedate
  • export PATH=/opt/csw/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/csw/gcc2/bin
  • groupadd -g 80 apache
  • useradd -g apache -u 80 -s /bin/false -d /opt/csw/apache apache
  • /opt/csw/mysql4/share/quick_start-csw
  • /etc/rc3.d/S40cswmysql start
  • /opt/csw/mysql4/bin/mysqladmin password $YOUR-MYSQL-ADMIN-PASSWORD
  • ln -s /opt/csw/bin/gmake /opt/csw/bin/make
  • perl -MCPAN -eshell (and then configure CPAN)
  • perl -MCPAN -e 'install "MIME::Parser"'
  • perl -MCPAN -e 'install "Template"' (for the optional stuff, select no -- the resulting installation may be slower, but the build is an order of magnitude less complex)
  • get the bugzilla package and expand it into /opt/csw/apache/htdocs/bugzilla
  • mkdir org
  • for i in *.pl *.cgi ; do mv $i org ; sed -e 's|/usr/bin/perl|/opt/csw/bin/perl|' < org/$i > $i ; done
  • ./checksetup.pl --check-modules
  • ./checksetup.pl
  • vi localconfig (edit db_pass value)
  • /opt/csw/mysql4/bin/mysql -u root -p
mysql> GRANT SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, INDEX, ALTER, CREATE, LOCK TABLES, CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, DROP, REFERENCES ON bugs.* TO bugs@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '$db_pass';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
  • ./checksetup.pl
  • vi /opt/csw/apache/conf/httpd.conf (change the group and user the webserver runs as to apache; also add this block to the end:)
<Directory /opt/csw/apache/htdocs/bugzilla>
  AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
  Options +Indexes +ExecCGI
  DirectoryIndex index.cgi
  AllowOverride Limit
</Directory>

  • /etc/rc3.d/S50cswapache restart
...and that should get you going.

Solaris 10 Deviations

  • you don't need to create the apache user and group as the user/group webservd is pre-created for you.
  • It is probably better to use the svcs enable command to start mysqld instead of using the rc3.d script. The quick_start-csw script will exit with the correct syntax.
  • When editing /opt/csw/apache/conf/httpd.conf, change the user and group for the webserver to webservd.

This is a collection of techical information, much of it learned the hard way. Consider it a lab book or a /info directory. I doubt much of it will be of use to anyone else.
