This question would be better asked on mozilla-webtools at mozilla.org.  You
should  probably re-ask your question there (and this time, include some
details, like what you actually get in the browser window when you try it,
and what kind of of errors you get in the log, etc.

But as long as we're here...

The dependency graphing in 2.14.x relies on an external webdot server.  The
URL provided with the default params that ship with Bugzilla is to a webdot
server provided by AT&T Research.  It's quite possible their server isn't
working.  You could try setting up your own webdot server (the software to
do it is at http://www.graphviz.org/).  Bugzilla 2.16 and later can
generate dependency graphs locally without depending on an external server.
Unless you have an existing Bugzilla install with lots of local
modifications, there's not much excuse to not upgrade, especially if you're
on RedHat.  Version 2.14 is very old and very unsupported.
