I got it installed. It would have been nice to know a few things. Here's a diff for README that got me going: Index: README =================================================================== RCS file: /home/nextbus/CVS/tools/BugZilla/README,v retrieving revision 1.1 diff -r1.1 README 76a77,78 > Create an empty directory called "data", make it world-readable > and executable. 85,87c87,90 < Now, you should be run all six scripts named make*.sh.

You can check that the tables are set up correctly u sing mysql commands directly to the database: > mysql -u bugadmin -p bugs > mysql> show tables; > mysql> select * from components; 104,105c107,111 < Tweak the parameters to taste.

The menus are: > <UL> > <LI>Edit Bugzilla operating parameters > <LI>Edit Bugzilla component owners > </UL> 143a150,153 > > 8. Renaming a product or component > 9.

The README you were using is already old and out of date. Please see the most recent version (available only via CVS). I don't find your patches to index.html make it more intuitive.
