Hi everybody,<br>
<br>
I would like to point out a lack (IMHO) in the Bugzilla instructions
for installling Apache on Windows (<a
href="https://bugzilla.readthedocs.io/en/5.0/installing/apache-windows.html#apache-windows">3.5.2.
Apache on Windows#3.5.2.1. Installing</a>)<br>
This paragraph lacks the instruction to uncomment the line
'LoadModule version_module modules/mod_version.so' in
./conf/httpd.conf (Apache)<br>
If I *do not* uncomment that line our Bugzilla's main page will show
up without any 'decoration': just plain text links and edit-boxes.<br>
<br>
The reason is that all the .htaccess files under \bugzilla directory
and its subdirectories contain: <IfModule mod_version.c>, so
they are referring to mod_version.so<br>
If mod_version.so is not made available, all the lines in the
.htaccess files with 'Deny from all' or 'Allow from all' will cause
erros to be logged in Apache's error.log file.<br>
<br>
After making mod_version.so available to Apache everything works
great for us.<br>
<br>
I am not an Apache or Bugzilla expert, and therefore I do not know
if this is the only (right) solution. But if it is mentioned in the
installation instruction, it could prevent people pulling out their
hairs.<br>
