Important You will require SSH/Shell Access.

1. In cPanel open up the database wizard > create a database called bugs
2. create a database user named bugs and grant access to all.

3. Open up ssh and login
4. Download the bugzilla tar:

wget http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/webtools/bugzilla-3.6.tar.gz

5. Untar the file in your desired directory (i have put it in WWW so i can access it via www.example.com/bugzilla):

tar xvfz bugzilla-3.6.tar.gz

6. Rename the folder to something nicer

mv bugzilla-3.6 bugzilla

7. Move to the bugzilla folder and run the checksetup.pl

cd bugzilla

• /checksetup.pl*

8. This will now give you a nice colorful print out of what is installed and what isnt. You will need to install the perl modules required so either do what they say on there or just install all of them with this:

/ramdisk/bin/perl install-module.pl —all

9. In the root bugzilla folder edit the localconfig file. Make these settings the same as the database you just set up.

nano localconfig

Change the following settings:

$webservergroup = ‘’;
$db_host = ‘localhost’;
$db_name = ‘user_bugs’;
$db_user = ‘user_bugs’;
$db_pass = ‘yourpassword’;

10. Run check setup perl script again. This will install your database and then tell you that Bugzilla is installed. You may have to run this twice, if it says localconfig has changed then run this step (10) again.

• /checksetup.pl*
