Installing bugzilla on Debian

Download latest Bugzilla and unpack the archive in apache document root (or configure a virtualhost).

Pre-check in shell with command:

./checksetup.pl --check-modules


I get some missing modules:

Installing some modules via apt-get:

apt-get install mysql-server \
libemail-send-perl libtemplate-perl libemail-mime-modifier-perl libtimedate-perl \
libhtml-scrubber-perl apache2 libapache2-mod-perl2 liblist-moreutils-perl \
libchart-perl libhtml-template-perl libtemplate-plugin-gd-perl libtheschwartz-perl \
libjson-rpc-perl libtest-taint-perl


If some modules are with lower versions that required, update them manually:

apt-get remove libtemplate-perl
/usr/bin/perl install-module.pl Template


There are currently no available deb packages for the following modules, so install them manually:

perl install-module.pl PatchReader
perl -MCPAN -e 'install "Email::MIME::Attachment::Stripper"'
perl -MCPAN -e 'install "Email::Reply"'
perl install-module.pl Daemon::Generic
perl install-module.pl Email::Reply


If some versions are not new enough, it is bad for you :( I upgraded my Debian to current testing version.
