Bugzilla and TestLink

[wayfarer]

I\'ve installed TestLink 1.6.2 and it works fine (installed using XAMPP 1.53), and I have Bugzilla 2.22.2 running on a different machine (uses MySQL 5.0.22 and Apache 2.22). I\'ve tried to change the config for connection to Bugzilla but I\'m not sure what to enter for the .

All the examples in this forum use localhost, but the 2 systems are running on different machines, so what do I need to specify for the field. I\'ve tried

\'localhost\'
\'esg1\' - the machine name on the network
\'localhost:3306\'
\'esg1:3306\'

Everything I\'ve tried gives me a message on the testlink main screen stating \'Failed to connect to Bug Traking System\'.

1. Can TestLink connect to a system on a different machine?
2. Is there any way to get a more detailed error message, i.e. what error is actually occuring?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

One important thing: the MySQL running on the remote machine must be
configured to allow connection with the user you are using FROM the PC
were you have installed TestLINK.
This can be the error

Best thing to do:
write an small PHP program that just try to connect to the remote machine

Can i have Testlink and bugzilla installed on same machine ?

If i installed bugzilla on one machine and then MySQL on same machine wud there be any problem i mean port conflicts or somthing of that kind ?

Is it advisable to install both the tools on two different machines ?

You should install it both on different machines or the same one. We use standard component for DB connection ... so everything is just question of configuration.
