httpd-errors.log got such record:
[Tue Jul 20 13:24:45 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] [Tue Jul 20 13:24:45 2010] index.cgi: Use of uninitialized value in split at Bugzilla/Util.pm line 295.

Reproducible: Always

Line 295 is:

 my @proxies = split(/[\s,]+/, Bugzilla->params->{'inbound_proxies'});

Did you run checksetup.pl before accessing index.cgi? This parameter cannot be undefined.

Comment 2

[Yuri]

I am running checksetup.pl now, getting the error:
No such file or directory at Bugzilla/Install/Filesystem.pm line 508
even though file Bugzilla/Install/Filesystem.pm exists.

Otherwise it complains about various things missing, like this:

This doesn't look important.

Message in the error log still shows up. But in the browser bugzilla seems to work withoutn a problem. Just an httpd message.

Comment 3

[Frédéric Buclin]

Line 508 of Filesystem.pm is:

 my $fh = new IO::File($file, O_WRONLY | O_CREAT, $info->{perms})

Looks like a permission issue when trying to create a new file. The warning displayed in comment 0 may just be a consequence of another problem. mkanat, do you have an idea? Is that a support question?

Comment 4

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

It might be a support issue. Unfortunately I didn't put the file name into the error message, so it's hard to say. I'll attach a patch for Yuri that makes the message clearer.

Comment 5

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

Attachment: Better Error Message

This makes the error message clearer. Yuri, could you apply this patch to your installation and then run checksetup.pl again and tell us the error? Your problem is that checksetup.pl is not completing.

Comment 6

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

Oh, I see why I didn't make it clearer--because "Creating $file..." is right above it. Yuri, could you attach (as an attachment) the entire output of your checksetup.pl?

Comment 7

[Yuri]

:-) funny but I modified Filesystem.pm in precisely the same way as your patch before I even got the patch from you.

Message now is:
Creating contrib/.htaccess...
contrib/.htaccess: No such file or directory at Bugzilla/Install/Filesystem.pm line 508.

contrib only exists under skins:
> find . -name contrib
./skins/contrib

Is it supposed to be in bugzilla root?

Comment 8

[Max Kanat-Alexander]

Ahh. Are you using an rpm or deb package to install Bugzilla? If so, this is sort of a bug in their package. Or at least, it's something I'll have to figure out or talk over with the package maintainers.

Comment 9

[Yuri]

I use FreeBSD port.
It's current maintainer is listed as: skv at FreeBSD with organization suffix added.

Comment 10

[Phoenix]

Is this still actual?

Comment 11

[Phoenix]

Seems not...
