Instructions for installing BugTrack on
Windows 2000 with IIS 5.0 and Sql Server 2000
Last Update 3/3/2002
1. Overview

First: Thanks to Adam Siegel for creating BugTrack and making it available to use. The price is right and it's a nice bit of software. We were in sore need of something where I work and his BugTrack was recommended to me by our tech lead. Despite my lack of background in Perl, I was able to get BugTrack installed and running in a short time. With these instructions, I'm hoping to save you a little heartache and some time getting BugTrack up and running on a Win2k PC.

These instructions describe the steps required to install BugTrack on a PC running Windows 2000. Specifically, they describe how to get BugTrack running with IIS 5.0 and Sql Server 2000. If you wish to install BugTrack using a different OS, web server, or rdbms you may be able to get some insight into the process here, but I make no guarantees about that.

Note: I do not cover the setup for SendMail and SMTP in this document. If you're adventurous and manage to figure out how to get these running and would like to have your instructions included here, by all means please email me the fruits of your efforts and I'll endeavour to include them.
