Description Brendan LeFebvre 2012-03-27 15:19:59 UTC

Description of problem:
When using "export PROJECT=myproject" to set up multiple Bugzilla sites on one host, checksetup.pl fails because it does not explicitly create /var/lib/bugzilla/data

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.4.13-1.el6 


How reproducible: Have not tried to reproduce but the nature of the problem and solution (see "Additional info" below) suggests this behavior will occur in any instance where the first post-install invocations of checksetup.pl are made with $PROJECT set.


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install bugzilla package and (if necessary) database/webserver pkgs

2. # cd /usr/share/bugzilla ; export PROJECT=myproject

3. # ./checksetup.pl # creates /etc/bugzilla/localconfig.myproject

4. configure database and /etc/bugzilla/localconfig.myproject

5. # ./checksetup.pl
  
Actual results:
Reading /etc/bugzilla/localconfig.myproject...
Checking for              DBD-Pg (v1.45)   ok: found v2.15.1 
Checking for      PostgreSQL (v8.00.0000) ok: found v08.04.0900

Additional info:
Was able to fix by:
# mkdir /var/lib/bugzilla/data
# ./checksetup.pl

Comment 1 Itamar Reis Peixoto 2018-03-30 16:38:58 UTC

bugzilla has been marked as dead.package for el6, closing this as won't fix, it's not possible to upgrade bugzilla to a newer version without upgrading el6 base packages.
