This is a bug tracker. It is designed to be used on a local server. It provides a replacement for some of the functions of Bugzilla. It uses SQLite as a backing store for the bugs.
This bug tracker was designed for me to use on a home web server. It was designed to be very easy to enter the data without a lot of restrictions. For example you can enter a bug without any description, or even without a notification of what project the bug belongs to, and then fix that up later. I was running bugzilla via the CGI interface at the time, and got very frustrated with having to enter lots of extraneous data and also with the big delays of Bugzilla. The name is a parody of "bugzilla".
At the moment installation is not very smooth.
You can build the application with the command make. You then need
to create and populate a database using the schema with
scripts/init.pl
This requires you to have Perl and the modules DBI, DBD::sqlite,
and JSON::Parse. It renames any old database file called
bagzulla.db with the suffix .backup, then it creates the database
file again from the schema in schema.txt by copying some users from
users.json in the top directory. You'll need to add a name and
password for whatever user name you want to use, or you can add those
directly to the database using the sqlite3 command.
You can run the server like this:
./bagzulla &
This will connect to the database in its running directory, so you
need to have read and write permissions for bagzulla.db in that
directory. You can specify another database using the option
--database.
If you're using a proxy, you can run it something like this:
nohup ./bagzulla --url http://localhost/xyz --port 1919 > log 2>&1 &
There is an example script in run.sh in the top directory.
You can specify another database using the option
--database.
./bagzulla --database super.db
This will have to be an sqlite3 database file.
If you want to make the directories work, you can specify a directory display URL using the command-line option --display. See run.sh for an example of how this works for me locally.
The server can be stopped from the interface using the control at the
top, or by a command of the form
http://localhost/bagzulla?stop=1. There is a simple script stop.pl
in the top directory which does this using the Perl module
LWP::UserAgent.
