slightly modified but mostly exactly per: http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/4.4/en/html/upgrade.html 2.7.2.3. Upgrading using the tarball

run checksetup.pl

starts to update database tables ... lots of output

.. Adding a new user setting called 'requestee_cc' Adding a new user setting called 'bugmail_new_prefix'

checksetup.pl complete.

first had a problem at this point, resulted in bugzilla being a directory with just localconfig and nothing else after checksetup.pl

did not bother about following symlink problems, instead just changed it to "mv bugzilla-4.4.1 bugzilla" as mozilla also suggests it.

the we had an apache error like: /srv/org/wikimedia/bugzilla/.htaccess: Options not allowed here

this is the .htaccess created by checksetup.pl

i commented out the #Options -Indexes

and now we can see:

version 4.4.1 on zirconium
