Install Bugzilla The Easy Way

August 18, 2007 · Filed Under Software · Comment 

With more and more complex code coming along at work, one thing I wanted to get set up early was a bug-tracking software. Initially I tried to install Bugzilla on a few boxes, but always ran into issues trying to get it up and running. If it wasn’t perl modules not being found in CPAN for some odd reason, it was something else.

I ran across a virtual machine prebuilt with Bugzilla installed called Virtual Bugzilla Server, from ALM Works.  Just download, extract, and run in VMWare Player or Workstation. If you are running ESX server 3.0 at work, the Virtual Bugzilla Server can be run through VMWare Converter and runs fine on ESX 3.0

I intend on writing up a tutorial showing how this works, but today I came across these two programs and used them a bit at work today. Both of these pieces of software look to help automate some of the penetration testing that I will begin doing on web applications we build, and as such look forward to more full write-ups on what these two programs can do.
