Description Tzvi Edelman 2008-03-27 10:39:02 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080208 Fedora/2.0.0.12-1.fc8 Firefox/2.0.0.12

Description of problem:
setting http://bugs.SITE.com/editparams.cgi?section=dependencygraph webdotbase
to /usr/bin/dot, saw lines like the following in
/var/log/httpd/bugs.SITE.com-error_log:
  [Tue Mar 25 05:21:09 2008] [error] [client 62.90.16.242] File does not exist:
/usr/share/bugzilla/var, referer:
http://bugs.SITE.com/showdependencygraph.cgi?id=1157

after poking around, figured out that bugzilla really wanted to get at
/var[/lib/bugzilla/data/webdot] from /usr/share/bugzilla/var, so did the
following symlink as a workaround:
  ln -s /var /usr/share/bugzilla/var
stopped the complaining and allowed the graphing to work.

This bug was already rejected by https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=424961 saying:
"Frédéric Buclin   2008-03-25 15:34:04 PDT
This is working fine upstream. This is a bug in the Fedora RPM file. You should
report this problem to them as we have nothing to do with the Fedora project."

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
bugzilla-3.0.2-2.fc6

How reproducible:
Didn't try


Steps to Reproduce:
1. http://bugs.SITE.com/editparams.cgi?section=dependencygraph webdotbase to
/usr/bin/dot, install graphviz rpm, etc.
2. assert dependencies between bugs
3. click on link behind "Show dependency graph":
http://bugs.SITE.com/showdependencygraph.cgi?id=1143

Actual Results:
no diagram displayed

Expected Results:
diagram displayed

check /var/log/httpd/bugs.SITE.com-error_log for details.

Additional info:
workaround:
  ln -s /var /usr/share/bugzilla/var

perhaps there is a parameter whose value is currently "/usr/share/bugzilla/var"
that could be reset to "/var"?

Employees of Red Hat do not maintain or create the Bugzilla RPM living in the
Fedora repositories. It is done by a volunteer in the Fedora community. Please
run 'rpm -qi bugzilla' and email the person who is listed as the Maintainer of
the package with your bug report.
