At first, what to feed to birds?

How to install / Configure Mantis For Apache-PHP-PostgreSQL combination  → I wanted to write this blog a long back, but better late than never. Three years back I was working on a project where we had used Mantis Bug Tracker for managing our bugs list, for that, I had to install it on a server from where our teams could access it to log the software bugs and update the fixes.
