Hi, finally I got it run, but i had to act a lot manually. (I suppose due to the fact I'm a newbie to bugzilla, apache, mysql, ...)
Just to comprehend my steps: o First I set up a password to root user of mysql with dpkg-reconfigure mysql Now the installation of bugzilla was worse, complaining about a no-password connection to mysql fails: Access denied for user 'volker'@'localhost' (using password: NO) o Create mysql user/database: bugzilla3/bugzilla3 with mysql_setpermission o configure bugzilla3 (ignoring errors): dpkg --configure bugzilla3 o cd /usr/share/bugzilla3/lib/ chmod u+x checksetup_nondebian.pl execute the script: checksetup_nondebian.pl --make_admin vol...@localhost.localdomain o run dpkg --configure bugzilla3 again (ignoring errors) o last i set up the apache2 config file to have a separate domain (VirtualHost) for bugzilla, because for me interaction between default and bugzilla config was quite obscure o now i was able to log in / create an account in bugzilla and to configure it. Hopefully work with bugzilla is more smooth... By the way what is the "Status/Resolution" postinst of bugzilla3 is complaining about? Postinst tells, if i changed "Status/Resolution" i need to edit checksetup_nondebian.pl which was the hint to look at this script (Thank you for that?!?) I appreciate to answer further questions to improve the package. Greetings volker
