When I try to query the bugs I encountered the following error:


Software error:
Can't create data/params.308 at d:\inetpub\wwwroot\bugzilla/defparams.pl line 
60.

For help, please send mail to this site's webmaster, giving this error message

How do I resolve this ?

This is a familiar problem, but I can't find a dupe, maybe we've only seen it on
IRC/newsgroups.

I can't really remember what the cause was, perhaps bad permissions on the data
directory?

Take a close look at the settings in localconfig and the installation 
instructions. Also, try setting webservergroup to "" and setting the 
permissions (I'm not sure how this works on windows) so that anyone 
can read and write to the data directory and anything inside of it.

clearing target in DUPLICATE/WORKSFORME/INVALID/WONTFIX bugs so they'll show up
as untriaged if they get reopened.
