Bugzilla:Win32InstallPackages

Installing Bugzilla on Microsoft Windows using the Installer

This is an unofficial installer for Bugzilla which deploys and configures Bugzilla with all the prerequisites:

• Apache
  
• MySql
  
• Perl
  
• Bugzilla
  

A working SMTP server is required for Bugzilla to send emails.

The current installer does not allow you to use an existing instance of Apache, MySql or Perl. Follow the manual installation instructions should you require this.

Downloading

The installers can be downloaded from http://landfill.bugzilla.org/win32installer/.

Installing

Administration

Windows Services

The setup creates two Windows Services, "Bugzilla.Apache" and "Bugzilla.MySql". These services can be manually uninstalled or reinstalled using "InstallServices.cmd" and "UninstallServices.cmd" from the "bin" directory.

BugzillaCmdPrompt.cmd

Running this file (in the installation directory) shows a "Command Prompt" preconfigured to enable you to install perl modules and run Bugzilla scripts (such as checksetup.pl).

BackupBugzilla.cmd

Running this file will create a backup of your Bugzilla database in a file "bugzilla-backup.zip".
