$vim /etc/my.cnf

[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
user=mysql
# Default to using old password format for compatibility with mysql 3.x
# clients (those using the mysqlclient10 compatibility package).
old_passwords=1
# Disabling symbolic-links is recommended to prevent assorted security risks;
# to do so, uncomment this line:
# symbolic-links=0

# Allow packets up to 30MB
max_allowed_packet=30M

Restart mysql service

$service mysqld restart

Create database and allow permission

$service mysqld restart
$mysql -u root -p
mysql> create database bugs;
mysql> GRANT SELECT, INSERT,UPDATE, DELETE, INDEX, ALTER, CREATE, LOCK TABLES,CREATE TEMPORARY TABLES, DROP, REFERENCES ON bugs.* TO bugs@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'alepo123';

<Directory /var/www/html/bugzilla>
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Options +Indexes +ExecCGI
DirectoryIndex index.cgi

</Directory>

Restart httpd service

$service httpd restart

If you are getting error as you don’t have permission to access use following steps

$cd /var/www/html/bugzilla
$mv .htaccess .htaccess-old

Verify the Group in httpd.conf matches the webservergroup in localconfig

# cd /var/www/html/bugzilla/
# grep webservergroup localconfig
$webservergroup = 'apache';
# grep Group /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Group apache

$service httpd restart

Start the apache, go to http://{your-ip-address}/bugzilla and login using the administrator account you created above

For sending mail with TLS do following steps

for changing mail_delivery_method login with administrator go to –> Administration –> Parameters –> Email –> mail_delivery_method from drop box select “SMTP::TLS”

Edit Mailer.pm file

$vim /var/www/html/bugzilla/Bugzilla/Mailer.pm

Changing Bugzilla/Mailer.pm from this:

if ($method eq "SMTP") {
        push @args, Host  => Bugzilla->params->{"smtpserver"},
                    username => Bugzilla->params->{"smtp_username"},
                    password => Bugzilla->params->{"smtp_password"},
                    Hello => $hostname,
                    Debug => Bugzilla->params->{'smtp_debug'};
    }

to this:

if ($method eq "SMTP" || $method eq 'SMTP::TLS' ) {
        push @args, Host  => Bugzilla->params->{"smtpserver"},
                    username => Bugzilla->params->{"smtp_username"},
                    password => Bugzilla->params->{"smtp_password"},
                    User => Bugzilla->params->{"smtp_username"},
                    Password => Bugzilla->params->{"smtp_password"},
                    Hello => $hostname,
                    Debug => Bugzilla->params->{'smtp_debug'};
