After modifying
localconfig
, run
checksetup.pl
again, if everything goes fine, it will ask you for Bugzilla admin user details.
Here is what it will look like
Initializing "Dependency Tree Changes" email_setting ...
Marking closed bug statuses as such...
Creating default classification 'Unclassified'...
Setting up foreign keys...
Setting up the default status workflow...
Creating default groups...
Setting up user preferences...
Looks like we don't have an administrator set up yet. Either this is
your first time using Bugzilla, or your administrator's privileges
might have accidentally been deleted.
Enter the e-mail address of the administrator: vivek@linux-8shu.site
Enter the real name of the administrator: Vivek Bhat
Enter a password for the administrator account:
Please retype the password to verify:
vivek@linux-8shu.site is now set up as an administrator.
Creating initial dummy product 'TestProduct'...
Now that you have installed Bugzilla, you should visit the 'Parameters'
page (linked in the footer of the Administrator account) to ensure it
is set up as you wish - this includes setting the 'urlbase' option to
the correct URL.
checksetup.pl complete.
Finish it, and you will have bugzilla running.
