Knoppix HD Install, Apache, MySQL, => Bugzilla

[alanteigne]

Hello everyone, I'm new to linux and am getting a little lost in all the confusion. I have successfully performed a Knoppix HD Install and would like to eventually run Mozilla's Bugzilla on an Apache server with MySQL. The prerequisites for Bugzilla include Apache w/ Perl support and MySQL, and that's where I'm stuck. I've read all over this forum that Knoppix comes with Apache and MySQL, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get them running/configured. I would like for them to start on boot.

Can anyone help me out with getting Apache w/Perl & MySQL running?

Thank you,
Alan

> Knoppix comes with Apache and MySQL,
That it does. As for getting them to run, search the forum (http://www.knoppix.net/forum/search.php) for apache & you will find there are people asking similar if not the very same things. I count 3 posts with apache in them, within the last 2 weeks, that detail how to start apache.

As for installing bugzilla, see this post http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=83880#83880 where I show someone how to figure out IF a program is a supported Debian program, and IF SO how to install it. You should follow those steps & where appropriate use the word 'bugzilla'.

By default
perl files go in /usr/lib/cgi-bin (as root)
Normal web-files go in the apache document root directory which is /var/www

If you can get a graphical interface to root then ksysv is a useful program to use.
If not, /etc/init.d/apache start or
/usr/sbin/apache as root should start apache
/etc/init.d/apache stop should stop apache.
/etc/init.d/mysqld_safe & should start mysql

Starting programs on boot requires the statup commands to be put in /etc/rc0-5.d directories.
If you get ksysv working you can do this by dragging and dropping icons.
Like UnderScore suggests, search this site for lots of useful information.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. I got on the bugzilla and knoppix channels on IRC and asked there. Between that and googling, I got it going.
