   simple bug tracker
  I want a simple bug / defect tracking system to work with my different small projects, anyone got any recommendations?my first thought was to spend 1 hour in MS Access and create my own, but I was hoping that there was a nice simple free one available.My priorities are:1) Low footprint, preferably no need to install any runtime files (other than standard windows / .NET ones)2) Able to handle more than 1 project (has to have a project field :P)I was toying with the idea of getting bug-zilla of something, but it's just to much work and i dont want the overhead of a full blown web server on the machine i'm running atm.One option could be a ASP/PHP/ASP.NET and Access / MySQL based solution i could put on my web site, but again without to much trouble :P   
  I've always found RT [RequestTracker: http://www.bestpractical.com/rt/] easy to use, though I've never done the setup myself. It's just some perl scripts to deal with a common SQL backend, and should work right out of the box.   ;  I use Mantis (http://www.mantisbt.org/) which uses PHP/MySQL. Pretty easy to install and works fine.   ;  I second mantis. I use both personally and proffesionally. It has good support for multiple projects, and users. Being web based means that it can grow with you as add more projects and developers. what I really like about it is that its easy to jump into at first and start using its basic features. Then as you get more into it, you can start working with some of its more advanced features.Quote:One option could be a ASP/PHP/ASP.NET and Access / MySQL based solution i could put on my web site, but again without to much trouble :Psounds like your already comfortable with php and mysql. Sounds like a match to me.Oh if you want to see before you install, they have a running installation at http://bugs.mantisbt.org/main_page.php so you can sort of see it in action. Its a live install they use to track bugs and requests for mantis itself. So they've put their money where their mouth is.   ;  thanks for the replies, looked some at mantis - and at first glance it looks like i need to run scripts on the server to install it - and unfortunatly all i can do on my web server is ftp to it...and set permissions...do you know if there is a install where you do it via php pages on the server? like some free php boards work?edit: hmm, i might be wrong, let me give it a try :P;  Nope, can't get mantis to work on my site since i dont have mysql admin rights :/any other ideas?(sorry for the bump)EDIT: Got it to work, ignore this thread ;)[Edited by - JensB on December 12, 2005 12:24:27 PM]
