Once that is done, execute the installation script. From your web browser, access
https://yoursite/mantisbt/admin/install.php
The installation procedure will go through the following steps:
The script checks basic parameters for the web server
Provide required information for the installation
database type
database server hostname
user and password
Required privileges: SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE
high-privileged database account
Additional privileges required: INDEX, CREATE, ALTER, and DROP
If this account is not specified, the database user will be used.
Click the Install/Upgrade Database button
The script creates the database and tables.
The default Administrator user account is created at this stage, to allow the initial login and setup of MantisBT.
The script attempts to write a basic config_inc.php file to define the database connection parameters.
This operation may fail if the web server's user account does not have write permissions to the directory (which is recommended for obvious security reasons). In this case, you will have to manually create the file and copy/paste the contents from the page.
The script perform post installation checks on the system.
