174255 - Typo & omission in Install Guide's Apache directives

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Documentation, defect)

Description

[John Morrissey]

(Couldn't find this already reported and it was still incorrect in HEAD, so I'll
report it here. Please tread lightly if this is a dup. :-)

The Bugzilla installation instructions
(mozilla/webtools/bugzilla/docs/sgml/installation.sgml) have a couple
typos/omissions in the Apache configuration directives they mention.

529 <programlisting>Options ExecCGI AllowOverride Limit</programlisting>

This should be two directives:

Options ExecCGI
AllowOverride Limit

and perhaps even:

Options +ExecCGI
AllowOverride Limit

to preserve any existing Options.


Additionally, Apache may also need a:

DirectoryIndex index.cgi

in order to display the main Bugzilla page as the directory index. I couldn't
find this explicitly mentioned in the docs.

Fixed in CVS SGML; HTML checkin will occur once the majority of outstanding doc
bugs are fixed.
