Simple to install bug tracking (Flyspray)
After spending a couple of hours trying to find a simple to use and simple to install bug tracking package I settled on Flyspray. Unlike half a dozen other packages that claim the same, it really is simple to set up especially if you are using XAMPP.
It does enough of what I need it to do, that is keep track of “bugs” on the web projects I am managing at the moment; Description, Severity, Assignment (usually to myself), Comments and the all important attachment (of screenshots).
Because it uses rewrites you might run into a problem if you haven’t got them turned on in XAMPP. Just edit your httpd.conf file to something like this (the important part in bold):
<virtualhost *:80>
ServerName localserver
DocumentRoot "d:/xampplite/localserver"
<directory "d:/xampplite/localserver">
RewriteEngine On
AllowOverride All
</directory>
</virtualhost>
Total time from download to completed installation: 20 minutes
