Disabling Remote Access to Bugzilla Configuration Files
</title>
<para>
There are many files that are placed in the Bugzilla directory
area that should not be accessible from the web server. Because of the way
Bugzilla is currently layed out, the list of what should and should not
be accessible is rather complicated. A quick way is to run
<filename>
testserver.pl
</filename>
to check if your web server serves
Bugzilla files as expected. If not, you may want to follow the few
steps below.

Bugzilla is currently layed out, the list of what should and should not

currently in the works which should solve this by allowing files that
shouldn't be accessible from the web to be placed in a directory outside
the webroot. See

<para>
It is possible for a user, by mistake or on purpose, to access
the database many times in a row which can result in very slow access
speeds for other users (effectively, a

attack). If your
Bugzilla installation is experiencing this problem, you may install
the Apache module
<filename>
mod_throttle
</filename>
which can limit
connections by IP address. You may download this module at
<ulink
url=
"http://www.snert.com/Software/mod_throttle/"
/>
.
Follow the instructions to install into your Apache install.
The command you need is
<command>
ThrottleClientIP

. See the
