Bugzilla

To run the Bugzilla bug tracking system using Unit:

1. Install Unit with a Perl language module.

2. Install and configure Bugzilla’s prerequisites.

3. Install Bugzilla`s core files. Here we install them at /path/to/app; use a real path in your configuration.

   Unit uses PSGI to run Perl applications; Bugzilla natively supports PSGI since version 5.1.

4. Change ownership:

   Run the following command (as root) so Unit can access the application directory (If the application uses several directories, run the command for each one):

   console

   Copy

   # chown -R unit:unit /path/to/app/  # User and group that Unit's router runs as by default
      

   # chown -R unit:unit /path/to/app/  # User and group that Unit's router runs as by default
      

   The unit:unit user-group pair is available only with official packages , Docker images, and some third-party repos. Otherwise, account names may differ; run the ps aux | grep unitd command to be sure.

   For further details, including permissions, see the security checklist.

5. Next, prepare the Bugzilla configuration for Unit. The default .htaccess scheme roughly translates into the following (use real values for share, script, and working_directory):

6. Upload the updated configuration.

   Assuming the JSON above was added to config.json. Run the following command as root:

   console

   Copy

   # curl -X PUT --data-binary @config.json --unix-socket \
         /path/to/control.unit.sock \  # Path to Unit's control socket in your installation
         http://localhost/config/      # Path to the config section in Unit's control API
      

   # curl -X PUT --data-binary @config.json --unix-socket \
         /path/to/control.unit.sock \  # Path to Unit's control socket in your installation
         http://localhost/config/      # Path to the config section in Unit's control API
      

   The control socket path may vary; run unitd -h or see Startup and shutdown for details.

   After a successful update, browse to http://localhost and set up your Bugzilla installation:
