View source for Bugzilla:How to setup the Bug Moving feature

This is a summary of the required configuration to use the Bug Moving feature of Bugzilla. This was done on two instances of Bugzilla 3.0.1 running on single CentOS 5 server (Apache 2.2, Sendmail 8.14.1).

=Bugzilla sender instance=

Bugzilla configuration of the sender (the one with the "Move to..." button): I named it here BZSENDER

* BZSENDER - Parameters - Bug Moving
<pre>
- move-enabled           : ON
- move-to-url            : http://bugzilla-3.0-BZRECEIVER/
- move-to-address        : bugzilla-import@localhost
- moved-from-address     : chris@somewhere.com
- movers                 : chris@somewhere.com  <--- all allowed users?
- moved-default-product  : TestProduct
- moved-default-component: TestComponent
</pre>

=Bugzilla receiver instance=

Bugzilla configuration of the receiver (the one that will import moved bugs): I named it here BZRECEIVER

* BZRECEIVER - Parameters - Bug fields:
<pre>
- defaultpriority P3
- defaultseverity enhancement
- defaultplatform All
- defaultopsys All
</pre>

* BZRECEIVER - Parameters - Bug Moving
<pre>
- move-enabled ON
- moved-default-product TestProduct
- moved-default-component TestComponent
</pre>

=Email account and server configuration=

* On the server (that hosts the BZRECEIVER), we need a user account (for the email).
<pre>
# useradd bugzilla-import
</pre>

Note: this is a mbox type account here (.procmailrc may be different for mailboxdir format).

* ... and set a .procmailrc for this bugzilla-import user

<pre>
PATH=$HOME:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/miscbin:.
MAILDIR=$HOME
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/mbox
LOGFILE=/home/bugzilla-import/procmail_log

#-----------------------------------------------
# Bugzilla Import
#-----------------------------------------------
:0 H
* ^To.*bugzilla-import@.*
| /var/www/bugzilla_3_0_BZIMPORT/importxml.pl -v
</pre>

* Then I add this user into the apache group into <code>/etc/group</code> to let bugzilla-import execute the importxml.pl script.
