I get the following message in the /var/log/http/error_log file

After some investigation I found the uninitialized value is db_driver, which
indeed does not appear in the localconfig file.  In fact the only place I can
find that value being set is with pgsetup.pl; however, the installation 
instructions
never mention the execution of this program.

Also, I have been unable to find any mention of these specific errors from 
through
Google.

 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.enter the URL http://tourmaline/index.cgi
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
See details above

Expected Results:  
Expect Bugzilla to start up

Based on your description, you're using RedHat's Postgres version of Bugzilla.

Please report your bug to Red Hat, not us.

Also, last I heard, the postgres version was based on Bugzilla 2.17.1, I didn't
know there was a 2.16 version.

btw: I think checksetup.pl isn't meant to be run with the Postgres version of
Bugzilla (and I'm not sure if it's meant to work with MySQL).  If you're
planning to use MySQL with it, you might want to use an official Bugzilla
release instead of the RedHat one.
