Need to setup apache2 configuration after installing bugzilla3

Further, the link to the "Home" is given as http://IPADDRESS/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/ but clicking this link results in

403 error as follows:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/bugzilla3/ on this server.
Apache/2.2.9 (Ubuntu) DAV/2 SVN/1.5.1 PHP/5.2.6-2ubuntu4 with Suhosin-Patch mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.0 Server at 10.67.5.71 Port 80

From the /var/log/apache2/error_log,

[Fri Nov 21 20:10:14 2008] [error] [client 10.67.32.23] attempt to invoke directory as script: /usr/lib/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/, referer: http://10.67.5.71/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/index.cgi

The correct link is http://IPADDRESS/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/index.cgi

I checked the apache DirectoryIndex etc , are set correctly. (I have not edited these settings)

Ditto. I separately did the exact same things as described here. With the exact same results.

However, I need to add that in addition to the HOME link, the documentation link does not work either (I installed bugzilla3-docs and copied them to the docs directory within the cgi-bin/bugzilla3 directory).

I'm able to get both of these links to work if I change the Alias from:

Alias /bugzilla3/ /usr/share/bugzilla3/web/

to

Alias /bugzilla3/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/

However, this breaks the skins.

Exactly the same problem here.

It works with redirectmatch (thanks google).
I don't know if the <Directory.../Directory> stuff is mandatory

Alias /bugzilla3 /usr/share/bugzilla3/web

<Directory /cgi-bin/bugzilla3/>
    AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
    Options +Indexes +ExecCGI
    DirectoryIndex index.cgi
    AllowOverride Limit
</Directory>

RedirectMatch ^/cgi-bin/bugzilla3[/]*$ /cgi-bin/bugzilla3/index.cgi

Adding this line:

RedirectMatch ^/cgi-bin/bugzilla3[/]*$ /cgi-bin/bugzilla3/index.cgi

to the end of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf solved the "broken Home link" problem for me. A kludge, sure, but good enough.

Exactly the same problem here.

It works with redirectmatch.

Webdot graphs also have an issues that can be worked around by a redirect match.

RedirectMatch ^/cgi-bin/bugzilla3/webdot/(.*)$ /bugzilla3/data/webdot/$1
