Questions[bugzilla](server)

After reading this guide and trying a ton of permutations based on that, is there an easy way to get Bugzilla working with an AD server? I keep getting the error:

80090308: LdapErr: DSID-0C0903A9, comment: AcceptSecurityContext error, data 52e, v1db0

I created an AD "bugzilla" user account with "Account Operators" permission as directed. I'm not sure if the error is saying that my login is incorrect or the system login to access LDAP is incorrect. Maybe I just missed an arcane option somewhere in the settings. You'd think all I'd need to do is specify the server name.

As you might have been able to tell, I don't have a lot of LDAP experience.

Also, will the Sysinternals LDAP tool help here?

We currently use svn and, through the user of hooks, are able to ensure that every commit message is prefixed by a bug-number (which ties those commits to a problem report in our Bugzilla issue tracker.)

We wish to move to mercurial with all of its distributed goodness. But one of the benefits of hg is that developers wouldn't necessarily need to to be online to commit changes, so we don't want hook scripts validating bug numbers against our central Bugzilla resource.

I may be coming at this from an svn perspective too much, but what I think I want is for developers to be able to specify a bug number at the time when the developer decides to push their change to a central testing repo. The key requirement here is that we want to be able to tie back commits to a Bugzilla bug, but we don't want to give developers a complex and manual workflow (which the Attic extension, for example, seems to impose.)

Any ideas?

I am running a apache2 server which hosts a website, as well as svn source repository. Currently, the svn authentication is done with mod_auth_dbd which talks to a MySQL database. Users can log in to their accounts and modify account details (passwords, etc), and use the same login info for svn. I was wondering if it is possible to integrate Bugzilla into this system, so that the login and authentication system stays the same.

Thanks,

Tim

I installed the TLS as described on this page and verified that the package is installed.

I restarted the Apache server, logged in to BugZilla as admin and went to Administration -> Parameters -> Email.

I can't see the option for SMTP::TLS under mail_delivery_method as described in the article linked above. How do I enable this option?

I have a server system running on Mac OS X 10.4 (Darwin Kernel Version 8.10.1). This server is used mainly as a Bugzilla Server, but there are some other web-based services running (Testlink, TikiWiki).

The Bugzilla database has about 60000 bugs in it, and there are about 300 active users on the system.

Bugzilla is on version 3.0, running on Perl 5.8.6, Apache 1.3.33 with mySQL 5.0.38

From time to time, we have serious trouble that Bugzilla throws a database error:

Software error:

Can't connect to the database.
Error: Too many connections

I already have several leads to possible solutions to this problem, but I wanted to bring up a more general question how you would debug these types of problems?

Right now we have set up the following to monitor the mySQL database:

• A cron job which dumps the full mysql processlist every 5 minutes
• Enabled log-slow-queries in my.cnf to log queries that take longer than 15 seconds

We just started gathering this data to see if we can find a reason for the "Too many connections" problem.

Are there any other things you can think of to monitor a mySQL database and to help diagnose the root cause of the problem?
