Installing MantisBT on CentOS 8
MantisBT is an open-source web-based bug tracking system that helps developers and project managers track and manage software issues and bugs in a collaborative way. It provides a streamlined and easily accessible platform for reporting, tracking, and resolving software defects or other issues.
Step 1: Update the system
Before installing MantisBT, it is recommended to update the system packages to their latest versions. Open the terminal and run the following command:
sudo dnf update
Step 2: Install Apache and PHP
MantisBT requires a web server and PHP to run. Install Apache and PHP along with necessary extensions using the following command:
sudo dnf install httpd php php-cli php-mysqli php-gd php-ldap php-xml php-mbstring php-intl
Step 3: Start and enable Apache
Start the Apache service and enable it to start automatically on boot:
sudo systemctl start httpd sudo systemctl enable httpd
Step 4: Install MariaDB
MantisBT requires a database server to store its data. Install MariaDB using the following command:
sudo dnf install mariadb-server
Step 5: Start and enable MariaDB
Start the MariaDB service and enable it to start automatically on boot:
sudo systemctl start mariadb sudo systemctl enable mariadb
Step 6: Secure MariaDB installation
Run the secure installation script to set a root password and remove anonymous users and test databases:
sudo mysql_secure_installation
Step 7: Create a database and user for MantisBT
Log in to the MariaDB shell using the root account:
sudo mysql -u root -p
Create a new database:
CREATE DATABASE mantisbt;
Create a new user and grant privileges on the database:
CREATE USER 'mantisuser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password'; GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mantisbt.* TO 'mantisuser'@'localhost';
Flush the privileges and exit the MariaDB shell:
FLUSH PRIVILEGES; EXIT;
Step 8: Download and extract MantisBT
Go to the MantisBT website and download the latest version of the software from the downloads section. Once downloaded, extract the contents to the Apache document root directory:
sudo tar xfz mantisbt-X.X.X.tar.gz -C /var/www/html/
Step 9: Set permissions
Set the correct ownership and permissions for MantisBT files and directories:
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/mantisbt sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/mantisbt
Step 10: Configure MantisBT
Create a configuration file for MantisBT:
sudo cp /var/www/html/mantisbt/config_defaults_inc.php /var/www/html/mantisbt/config_inc.php
Edit the configuration file to include the correct database details:
sudo nano /var/www/html/mantisbt/config_inc.php
Step 11: Enable rewrite module
Enable the rewrite module for Apache:
sudo dnf install php-mcrypt sudo systemctl restart httpd
Step 12: Access MantisBT
Open a web browser and navigate to your server's IP address or domain name followed by "/mantisbt". You will be prompted to go through the MantisBT installation process, where you can set up an administrator account and complete the setup.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed MantisBT on CentOS 8. You can now start using it to track and manage software issues efficiently.
