Answer 1

Here is the documentation to install Bugzilla on a Windows environment : https://bugzilla.readthedocs.io/en/5.0/installing/windows.html

In this documentation there is a special page to configure Apache (which is embedded in WAMP) to run your bugzilla instance : https://bugzilla.readthedocs.io/en/5.0/installing/apache-windows.html#apache-windows

You have to :

• Uncomment LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so at the beginning of the file to enable CGI support.
• Uncomment AddHandler cgi-script .cgi to register .cgi files as CGI scripts. For this handler to work, you must create a key in the Windows registry named HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.cgi\Shell\ExecCGI\Command with the default value pointing to the full path of perl.exe with a -T parameter. For example C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe -T if you use ActivePerl, or C:\Strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe -T if you use Strawberry Perl.
• Add an Alias and a Directory for Bugzilla:

httpd.conf :

Alias "/bugzilla/" "C:/bugzilla/"
<Directory "C:/bugzilla">
    ScriptInterpreterSource Registry-Strict
    Options +ExecCGI +FollowSymLinks
    DirectoryIndex index.cgi index.html
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

And then restart Apache.
