Which tutorial exactly (link welcome)? 
Why was the version of this report set to 5.0 while that sentence only talks about "up until 3.2.9"?

Oh wow that definitely was confusing. 5.0 is referring to the version of Bugzilla. 3.2.9 is the section in the documentation. 3.2.9 would be the same as saying I got all the way to the end, where I run ./testserver.pl

My bad. Stupidly I assumed you'd just know.

The additional instructions are not needed. The alias is useless, and a2enmod doesn't even exist on several Linux distros.

I followed the tutorial linked perfectly, and yet was unable to past the test.pl. Using the instructions I provided solved my issue, and everything works. Are we saying that the linked instructions work as is, or there's another work around?

I'm an idiot, and withdraw the bug. I completely missed the link under section 3.2.5. I thought it was just saying "install apache".
