[Big snip] It seems that mysql must be installed before bugzilla. I installed bugzilla with my original FC6 installation without mysql. Didn't receive any protest at the time that I can remember. I added mysql when installing Apache a few days ago. Now Bugzilla and Mysql couldn't find each other. Bugzilla had not created its 'bugs' database that it was looking for. I have removed bugzilla and re-installed it. Everyone is now playing together nicely. Just thought I would let everyone know in case they have a similar problem. Recommend that any new Linux installations include Mysql or other databases that subsequent applications may require. I am sure all of this goes without saying, but it was new to me and hard to chase down -- because all the error messages had to do with permissions etc. Thanks to everyone for their help. -- Regards Bill
