Problems | wc -l

I was hoping to do this earlier, in smaller multiple posts. However, 60% of my course load this semester is project based. Which means I may not have exams for those courses, there are much more deadlines I must meet during the interm of the semester.

Going through all the screen shots and logs I have complied while testing the installation of Bugzilla (I have tested the install on CentOS, Fedora 19 and Fedora 15), below is a list of issues I encountered while testing the install on a Fedora 15 machine — as this matches the production environment the closest.

The issues encountered are from a base install of Fedora and running yum update.

This is the first error I encountered while running checksetup.pl --check-modules

YOU MUST RUN ONE OF THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS (depending on which database
you use):

PostgreSQL: yum install "perl(DBD::Pg)"
MySQL: yum install "perl(DBD::mysql)"
Oracle: yum install "perl(DBD::Oracle)"

*** Installation aborted. Read the messages above. ***

This was easily solved by installing MySQL. The error demon quickly riposted with:


Checking for CPAN (v1.81) ok: found v1.94
Checking for YAML (any) not found
Checking for ExtUtils-MakeMaker (v6.31) ok: found v6.56


This again was quickly removed with a simple yum install of Perl YAML. After installing yaml, the installation went much longer, 7 minutes and 25.899 seconds longer:

This issue took me longer to resolve, as I have never encounter an error similar. After taking a closer look at the report, it seemed to me that it was failing at trying to install Math-Random-Secure-0.06.tar.gz.

After realizing this, I recalled an output from an earlier command:


COMMANDS TO INSTALL OPTIONAL MODULES:

GD: yum install "perl(GD)"
Chart: yum install "perl(Chart::Lines)"
Template-GD: yum install "perl(Template::Plugin::GD::Image)"
GDTextUtil: yum install "perl(GD::Text)"
GDGraph: yum install "perl(GD::Graph)"
Test-Taint: yum install "perl(Test::Taint)"
Daemon-Generic: yum install "perl(Daemon::Generic)"
Math-Random-Secure: yum install "perl(Math::Random::Secure)"


I would question why it is listed under “OPTIONAL MOUDLES” when it will fail the installation. However after yum install "perl(Math::Random::Secure)" the installation went a little further ahead, until the next error.

The fix to this was very obvious, I needed a c complier. After configuring mysql and apache, Bugzilla was up and running.

I will be making another post going through the steps for installing Bugzilla. However, I will have to reference this post as a troubleshooting section, as it should answer any installations issues you could encounter.
