I am trying to install bugzilla on my home server running 16.04. I am using the documentation and I got up the the 2nd checksetup phase, but am having an issue in step 3.1.11. Test Server.
When running the testserver.pl script I get the following error:
$ sudo perl testserver.pl http://localhost/bugzilla
TEST-WARNING Failed to find the GID for the 'httpd' process, unable
to validate webservergroup.
TEST-FAILED Fetch of images/padlock.png failed
Your web server could not fetch http://localhost/bugzilla/images/padlock.png.
Check your web server configuration and try again.
Googling around, I found a couple of links, beginning with this one. That link instructs to look at a couple of lines in the testserver.pl script:
my @pscmds = ('ps -eo comm,gid', 'ps -acxo command,gid', 'ps -acxo command,rgid');
and
if ($line =~ /^(?:\S*\/)?(?:httpd|apache)2?\s+(\d+)$/) {
It says to run each of the ps commands manually in the shell and look at the output. Sure enough, httpd|apache does not return anything. Somewhere on that page there is some discussion of a truncated name:
It looks to me like it's the truncation of the names that is causing the
problem? Note it's '/usr/sbin/apach' which is returned
I also note that /usr/sbin/apach sometimes gets a GID of 33 sometimes of 0
my ps output also shows /usr/sbin/apach, but I did not see any instructions as to what change to make.
The other link I found was an askubuntu question. That link seemed mainly concerned with the "AllowOverride" value, which I believe in my case is correct. As per the instructions, I created a file /etc/apache2/sites-available/bugzilla.conf :
ServerName localhost
<Directory /var/www/html/bugzilla>
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
Options +ExecCGI
DirectoryIndex index.cgi index.html
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
in my local config, for webserver group I have: $webservergroup = 'www-data';
One other thing that may or may not be a factor; one of the perl packages was not found during the installation.
E: Package 'apache2-mpm-prefork' has no installation candidate
Thanks for any help.
Some additional resources Bug 380732
Update I resolved this issue by removing/purging apache2 and re-installing. All was good after that.
