config setprop mysqld LocalNetworkingOnly no
expand-template /etc/my.cnf
sv t /service/mysqd
In some circunstances mysqld fail to start. If this is your case, reboot the server.
Install:
yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install scarab
The installation create '''scarab''' db and '''scarabu''' user.
Under '''/opt/scarab''' you have found the extensions directory, and can be use the scripts to import data from bugzilla.
Under '''/db/mysql''' you have found the database creation scripts. The installation use '''install_db_plain.sql'''. This script install a plain db for Scarab. If you want to install sample data, when finish the installation, execute:
mysql < install_db_with_sample.sql
The script remove the old db and create a new one with sample data.
You can always return to the plain db executing:
mysql < install_db_plain.sql
== Usage ==
Access http://yourdomain:tomcatport/scarab
The default username is '''Administrator''' with password '''1''' (number one)
== Conclusion ==
Read all the documentation available from Scarab site. The mailing list is a good source of information too.
I think Scarab is a good tool to try and test over bugzilla.
As always, report any bug
