It's powered by Mantis. Why Mantis and not Bugzilla? Read below :-)

The background: Many people asked us to install Bugzilla. As nothing was happening, they eventually started threatening me (specially Maurizio). On Sunday I started trying to install Bugzilla on our *inexpensive* shared hosting.

Since then (for the last 2 days) I've been fighting with:

- Bugzilla

(I won!)

- perl

(I won!)

- MySQL + our hosting

(I've lost, but I fought a lot)

- MySQL on another hosting

(!!!) (I've lost here too...)

The issue is that Bugzilla requires the db tables (not the tabbles :D ) to be formatted using InnoDB, and not the old-school MyISAM.

There is a good reason for this: InnoDB supports row-locking, making the db more stable (although a bit slower). Because of this, our hosting doesn't allow shared hostings to have their db formatted using InnoDB...of course I found this our at the very last second of the Bugzilla setup process.

But I didn't give up yet: I asked around and someone pointed me to an italian hosting service that would offer a free hosting plan including InnoDB: while this all corresponds to reality, I later figured out that they won't accept connection to the MySQL coming from the outside.

Then I downloaded Mantis and set it up and within some 3-4 minutes it was online and kicking! here you go. :)

Peace,

Andrea
