        Awesome! :-)

        Great. How many CPUs does it have allocated to it?

	I think that is OK. Usually, given the default Apache configuration on 
RHEL5, I put Bugzilla into /var/www/html/ though, not /var/www/. I don't 
know how SELinux feels about executing CGIs in a random directory under 
/var/www/, but I guess I can find out. :-)

	Yeah, those look OK for now. Does it have a swap partition also, or 
just the RAM?

	When you do, here's the command with all the permissions necessary for 
the Bugzilla user:

        
http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/3.4/en/html/configuration.html#install-setupdatabase-adduser

        (Don't run any of the other commands in the install docs, though.)

	Cool. Usually, I create a /etc/httpd/conf.d/bugzilla.conf file that 
contains the two configuration lines required by Bugzilla (as described 
here):
        
http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/3.4/en/html/configuration.html#http-apache-mod_perl

        And make sure that KeepAlive is off in the main httpd.conf.
