BugNET is an open source bug tracking tool based on SQL written in ASP.NET language. It is a cross-platform application used to keep the codebase simple. BugNET supports many features such as email notifications, multiple databases and projects supports, easy navigation, excellent security etc. The main goals are to keep the codebase simple, well documented, easy to deploy and scalable.

Installing BugNET
There are three ways you can install BugNET. You can:

• Install it using the Web Deployment Package.
• Download the BugNET .zip file and install it as described in Manually Installing BugNET Using a zip file.
• Download the BugNET source code and build BugNET from the command line or in Visual Studio.

Requirements

• ASP.NET 4
• A web server such as IIS Express 8, 7.5 or IIS 7.x.
• Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Express or greater.

2. Create a directory in the c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ folder called bugnet (c:\inetpub\wwwroot\bugnet)
3. Copy the contents of the BugNET folder in the install package to the c:\inetpub\wwwroot\bugnet\ folder
4. Go to the properties of the c:\inetpub\wwwroot\bugnet\ folder, click on the Security tab, be sure to add the permissions for the appropriate user (WinXp/2000 uses the local ASPNET account, Win2003/Vista/2008/7 use the local Network Service account). Give this account modify permissions on (if necessary):
5. Uploads - if using file system based uploads

11. Configure the database server.
12. Load the SQL Server Management tool
13. Expand the Server/Security node
14. Create a blank SQL Database (e.g db name 'BugNet') on your sql server using a case insensitive collation.
