</para>
<para>Point releases are normally released when the Bugzilla team feels

last point release and the current time. These are often proceeded by a
stabilization period and release candidates, however the use of
development versions or release candidates is beyond the scope of this

scour the fixed bug list and pick and choose which patches to apply
from a point release, but this is not recommended either as what you'll
end up with is a hodge podge Bugzilla that isn't really any version.

<para>This section covers installation on Microsoft Windows.
Bugzilla has been made to work on Win32 platforms, but the Bugzilla team
wish to emphasise that The easiest way to install Bugzilla on
Intel-archiecture machines
is to install some variant of GNU/Linux, then follow the UNIX
installation instructions in this Guide. If you have any influence in the
platform choice for running this system, please choose GNU/Linux instead
of Microsoft Windows.</para>
<warning>
<para>After that warning, here's the situation for 2.16
and Windows. It doesn't work at all out of the box.
You are almost certainly better off getting
the 2.17 version from CVS (after consultation with the Bugzilla Team to
make sure you are pulling on a stable day) because we'll be doing a load
of work to make the Win32 experience more pleasant than it is now.
</para>

If you still want to try this, to have any hope of getting it to work,
you'll need to apply the
<ulink url="">mail patch</ulink> from

After that, you'll need to read the (outdated) installation

we'll write some better installation instructions for 2.16 and put
them up there. But no promises.

<para>As mentioned above, the Bugzilla Team recommends Apache for use

that the <filename>.htaccess</filename> files created by

permissions or else important password information may be exposed to the

<para>Many Apache installations are not configured to run scripts
anywhere but in the <filename class="directory">cgi-bin</filename>

<filename class="directory">cgi-bin</filename>, otherwise the static
files such as images and <xref linkend="gloss-javascript"/>
will not work correctly. To allow scripts to run in the normal
web space, the following changes should be made to your

following line exists and is uncommented:</para>
