Environment Construction and mantis installation, configuration

Because Mantis is written in PHP system, and to debug PHP program of course to use the Apache+php+mysql, and Apache+php+mysql configuration is a very troublesome thing, this does not include environmental conflict 、、、 and so on, These are also issues that cause configuration failures. But it happens that there is a package that eliminates the problems that were previously needed to be solved, and this suite is easyphp. Easyphp integrates: Apache, PHP, MySQL, PhpMyAdmin.

The above software can refer to the last reference of the article. Scope of application

1. Open C: "Program Files" EasyPHP3.1

2. Cut the phpMyAdmin folder to C: "Program Files" EasyPHP3.1 "www" to establish the bug database

1. Right-click the Windows tray icon, select "Local Web", (or enter "HTTP://127.0.0.1/" in IE address) to see the following page:

2. Click "Mantis" to enter the page:

3, do not modify/fill in any value, directly click on the bottom of the page "Install/upgrade Database" button

As simple as this, a bug management system is configured and Mantis is ready for use. But--the actual use of the problem arises, such as: After the mantis configuration is completed, the default configuration completed by the Chinese version of the system, and only support English, not support Chinese, specifically in: If in any one of the fields to enter the successful save, Again show is garbled (and solve the Chinese garbled problem is very tricky, and according to the situation of the different ways to solve also different, search on the Internet, there is a lot of ... ), the specific solution please continue looking down ... Chinese Version Configuration

When the configuration is complete, mantis defaults to the English system, and to use the Chinese version mantis the configuration file needs to be modified.

² Configuration Method:

Open the Mantis directory (C: "Program Files" EasyPHP3.1 "www" mantis "), open the config_defaults_inc.php file with Notepad and locate the following code snippet:

。。。。。。 #---language Settings----------- # If The language is set to ' auto ', the actual # language is determined by the user agent (Web browser) # language Preference. $g _default_language = ' 中文版 '; 。。。。。。

Change 中文版 to Chinese_simplified
The code snippet after the modifications are complete is as follows:

...... #---language Settings----------- # If The language is set to ' auto ', the actual # language is determined by the user agent (Web browser) # language Preference. $g _default_language = ' chinese_simplified '; ......

² Verify that the configuration is successful:

Login to the Mantis system "http://127.0.0.1/mantis/login_page.php" in IE again, enter the page:

OK, it's a success. After logging in, the same is the All-Chinese interface:

LAN Access

When the configuration is complete, mantis defaults to native access, and the Apache configuration file needs to be modified for access within the LAN.

² Configuration Method:

Open the Apache directory (C: "Program Files" EasyPHP3.1 "Apache" conf "), open the httpd.conf file with Notepad and locate the following code snippet:

。。。。。。 # # listen:allows-Bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or # ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost> # directive. # # Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to # Prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses. # #Listen 12.34.56.78:80 Listen 127.0.0.1:80 。。。。。。

Add a piece of code Listen the next line in Listen 127.0.0.1:80 192.168.1.101:80

Note : 192.168.1.101 is the IP address of the mantis server

The code snippet after the modifications are complete is as follows:

...... # # listen:allows-Bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or # ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost> # directive. # # Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to # Prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses. # #Listen 12.34.56.78:80 Listen 127.0.0.1:80 Listen 192.168.1.101:80 ......

² Verify that the configuration is successful:

Log in to the mantis system via IE in any computer on the LAN

http://192.168.1.101/mantis/login_page.php can be accessed normally. Port is occupied

When the mantis configuration is complete, access to the mantis system may cause problems with port occupancy, which is common because the IIS default port is 80, and the default port is 80 when the mantis configuration is complete. Therefore, you need to modify the port of mantis or the port of IIS to access mantis normally.

² Configuration Method:

Open the Apache directory (C: "Program Files" EasyPHP3.1 "Apache" conf "), open the httpd.conf file with Notepad and locate the following code snippet:

...... # listen:allows-Bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or # ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost> # directive. # # Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to # Prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses. # #Listen 12.34.56.78:80 Listen 127.0.0.1:80 Listen 192.168.1.101:80 ......

Modify the Listen 192.168.1.101:80 to Listen 192.168.1.101:8001

The code snippet after the modifications are complete is as follows:

...... # # listen:allows-Bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or # ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost> # directive. # # Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to # Prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses. # #Listen 12.34.56.78:80 Listen 127.0.0.1:80 Listen 192.168.1.101:8001 ......

² Verify that the configuration is successful:

Log in to the mantis system via IE in any computer on the LAN

http://192.168.1.101:8001/mantis/login_page.php can be accessed normally. How to solve the garbled characters of Chinese display
