Bugzilla installers now available on Windows
You want to install Bugzilla on your Windows operating system but don’t want to go through all the steps to install Perl, MySQL, Apache and Bugzilla? Just download and run the new Bugzilla installer for Windows! It’s a usual .exe file which all Windows users are used to.
It will ask you for information required to run Bugzilla and related services correctly, and once you click "Finish", Bugzilla will appear in your web browser magically. Our magician is named Byron Jones, one of the Bugzilla developers who did a wonderful job to build these installers. Thanks a lot Byron!
The installers are currently available for Bugzilla 3.4.6, our current stable release, and Bugzilla 3.6rc1, our first release candidate for 3.6. Note that these installers are not officially supported by Bugzilla, though they got some testing by some core developers. Also note that they will install everything in your C:\Program Files\Bugzilla\ folder, no matter what is already installed on your system. This means Bugzilla will run its own web and DB servers and run its own instance of Perl (which are easier to install/uninstall separately), at least for now. More information can be found on the wiki page of the installers.
Do not hesitate to give us some feedback and/or suggestions for future improvements. Enjoy!
Update (Aug 13, 2011): I saw that a lot of people is looking for Windows installers. You can also download the Bugzilla 4.0 installer, but this one needs some more testing before being pushed into the "official" repository. You must understand that things may break by using this 4.0 installer. Note that installing Bugzilla yourself (i.e. without the unofficial Windows installer) is really not hard at all. Just follow these steps.

Hi,
I installed.
Thanks.
I was unable to create projects and accounts
FINALLY!!! a sane way to install Bugzilla. Some of us are java developers or C developers and HATE having to deal with fussy Perl modules that are clearly the domain of elitist UNIX geeks.
Thank you, THANK YOU!!!
MERCI!!!!!

Unable to login after installing bugzilla in windows. I am getting "The username or password you entered is not valid. "
Is there a new installer for the 4.2 version?
Not yet, no. I can check with the maintainer of this installer what needs to be done to make it work with 4.2.
Hi,
I had installed Bugzilla succesfull, it was good,. but i am getting the following error message while sending email
"There was an error sending mail from ‘bugzilla-daemon@’ to ‘ashoks1432@gmail.com’:Can’t call method "address" on an undefined value at C:/Program Files (x86)/Bugzilla/perl/perl/site/lib/Email/Send/SMTP.pm line 25."
You didn’t set the mailfrom parameter correctly. It must be a valid email address. "bugzilla-daemon@" is not a valid email address.
So where shall (In which file) i change the address?
You edit parameters from your web browser:
Administration > Parameters > Emai > mailfrom
I am getting the following error now
There was an error sending mail from ‘ashoksabbineni.s@gmail.com’ to ‘ashoks1432@gmail.com’:Can’t send data
I got it
Thanks for your support
Hi i had installed Bugzilla in my office, every thing is working fine.
But i am not able to access the url from out side (Out of my work group)
if i install Bugzilla from Bugzilla 4.0 window installer, can i upgrade the Bugzilla using bzr?
Thank you so much for the installer! I tried the manual way so I can have the latest version of Bugzilla, 4.3, but I kept getting errors with MySQL that I couldn’t solve. It was frustrating. And this installer worked perfectly the first time. Merci!
what is the default superadmin username and password???
Bugzilla is successfully installed – thanks for the link to installer website. Now can someone provide assistance on how to point it to my domain. I want to configure it – so that my team can access it anywhere on the web. It says
local host – http://localhost/index.cgi
URL should be like – my domain name/Bugzilla – How can I point it to my domain?
THanks
