Mantis Bug Tracker - Forums

I'd like to check this out, but not sure I know enough to get everything setup and configured to trial it. Any install scripts for PC or Mac? I'm pretty sure my Mac already has the supporting components installs, but doubt my PC does. (Mysql etc).

Second, I didn't see any screen shots. What would be really nice is to have a dummy version running on this site so I could check out its function.

Thanks!

Hi.

Because Mantis is a web server based application, it does require a web server with PHP and MySQL already set up. The new Mac OS should have most of that available already. If you want to install in Windows, I can suggest and recommend XAMPP from http://www.apachefriends.org/en/index.html . It's a single installer for these three components.

Once you have that installed just unzip the Mantis code into a subdirectory of your web server directory and then Mantis can give you a web based installation through your browser.

As for demos, http://bugs.mantisbt.org/ is the one we use for tracking issues in Mantis itself. Naturally it's not really designed for 'playing' in, because it's a live server but by all means go check it out from a user perspective.

Thanks for the speedy reply :). I primarly use Mac (10.4.5 MacIntel), but would probably run it on a PC, so I'll check out the link provided.

Thanks.
