Trouble when running checksetup.pl

Question

i am trying to install bugzilla on a mac os x snow leopard server - when i run the checksetup.pl i get this:

./localconfig: Permission denied at Bugzilla/Install/Localconfig.pm line 377, line 253

how do i fix this and what does it mean?

Answer 1

Bugzilla is trying to create a file named localconfig in the current directory, however you don't have access to write to that directory.

Make sure you are running checksetup.pl from the Bugzilla directory (cd /path/to/bugzilla; ./checksetup.pl), and your current account has write access to that directory.
