How to setup Bugzilla without SMTP server (no need to use e-mails)?


How to setup Bugzilla without SMTP server (no need to use e-mails) ?

I installed Bugzilla from the windows-installer. We just use it locally and don't need emails, nor we have any SMTP server.

This link says that I don't have to have SMTP, but I don't know how to get to the "Administrator page"


Solution

  • One needs to set the 'mail_delivery_method' parameter to 'Test'. Check for the new account creation mails in C:\bugzilla\data folder mailer.testfile file and you will get the token link there to actually create the new user. This way you can really bypass setting up a SMTP server totally but to use Bugzilla within a group of ppl. Very useful for small group developments and bug tracking.
