534792 - New landfill bugzilla installs created using installs.cgi never finish

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: bugzilla.org, defect)

Description

[Reed Loden [:reed]]

I tried to create a new install for a bug I'm working on, and installs.cgi stopped working with just this output:

Adding install 'bz534587'...
Creating bugs_bz534587 database in Mysql...

mkanat thought "it may have created it and just didn't output anything", so I checked /var/www/html/bz534587, which existed. However, localconfig had this:
# The name of the database
$db_name = 'bugs_tip';

... which is pretty bad. It also doesn't appear on installs.cgi.

<mkanat> reed: I'll probably have to switch to having a cron job create the install.

Or even simpler, I think I can just have it fork a bash to do it.

I think I'll also take this opportunity to switch over to using bzr.

  Okay, all fixed; it does creation and deletion via a cron job now.
