I’ve played with bugzilla enough to know that it’s an unruly beast, with lots of configuration requirements. FINALLY, it’s able to use mod_perl, alleviating my serious concerns about page display time, but according to the guy who coded the mod_perl compatibility…
mod_perl support in Bugzilla can take up a HUGE amount of RAM. You could be looking at 30MB per httpd child, easily. Basically, you just need a lot of RAM. The more RAM you can get, the better. mod_perl is basically trading RAM for speed. At least 2GB total system RAM is recommended for running Bugzilla under mod_perl.C’mon! All I want to do is track a few bugs. So… still looking for the best open-source solution, and in the meantime, using eGroupware’s simple TTS system – even though it’s deprecated but the replacement app isn’t ready yet, sigh. At least it doesn’t crush my server. But maybe I’ll set up bugzilla anyway, just for fun… gotta love those huge open-source apps!
UPDATE: PSI uses [flyspray!], which doesn’t look bad. PHP gittinerdun, once again.
