Configuring Bugzilla-Testlink integration using mysql

parpandit · Post by **parpandit** » Mon Feb 23, 2009 8:45 pm

I was trying to integrate Bugzilla with Testlink 1.8.2. I misunderstood or read some wrong instructions somewhere about the BUG_TRACK_DB_TYPE variable in cfg/bugzilla.cfg.php. I thought it meant the type of MySQL DB (InnoDB, MyISAM) when in fact it was supposed to be just 'mysql'.

Due to my error, whenever I enabled the integration, the UI would blow up and complain about a ADODB_innodb.class.php file missing. There is no such file in testlink/lib/functions directory.

I downloaded adodb4991.tgz and adodb507.tgz but neither one had the missing file. Turned out to be a waste of time.

If would be helpful (to dummies like me) if an example was provided for BUG_TRACK_DB_TYPE in bugzilla.cfg.php instead of just
/** DB type used for the bugtracking db */

Problem is resolved and integration is working fine.

What about reading pdf present on 1.8 installation named tl-bts-howto.pdf, before start complaining ?

Usually after installing an open source app first thing to do is looking for information present on some folder

The links available from http://www.teamst.org/index.php?option= ... &Itemid=32
include

http://www.teamst.org/_tldoc/1.8/instal ... manual.pdf which only mentions "Database types MyISAM and InnoDB are supported" in a footnote and custom_db.inc.php has a "DB_TYPE" but not BUG_TRACK_DB_TYPE.

No mention of DB_TYPE in http://www.teamst.org/_tldoc/1.8/user_manual.pdf

No mention of BUGTRACK_DB_TYPE in http://www.teamst.org/_tldoc/1.7/tl-bts-howto.pdf

Thanks for the report. I added an explanation to the next version of Installation manual.
