bugzilla installation on Fedora

Download latest stable Bugzilla from here
Untar the package at /var/www/html folder
$ tar -xzf bubzilla.x.x.tar.gz

Bugzilla's installation process is based on a script called checksetup.pl. The first thing it checks is whether you have appropriate versions of all the required Perl modules. The aim of this section is to pass this check. When it passes, proceed to Section 2.2.

To check you have the required modules, run:

bash# ./checksetup.pl --check-modules

checksetup.pl will print out a list of the required and optional Perl modules, together with the versions (if any) installed on your machine. The list of required modules is reasonably long; however, you may already have several of them installed

$ perl -MCPAN -e 'install ""'
