Considering moving to Mantis, from a bespoke system, for bug tracking.
Anyone any experience with Mantis? Opinions?
My opinion? Try Redmine instead.
Mantis has lots of features, but I find it rather nasty to look at.
+1 for Redmine. -1 for Mantis because it’s so ugly and untidy.
Same as Paul. But Mantis is way simpler to install than Redmine.
Yepp. I don’t even remember how I succeeded 
But it’s worth it!

There are very detailed installation guides/How tos here.
And yes, it’s worth it!
It’s far easier to install from Bitnami. Start installer, done.
If you are having challenges getting it installed and have a dedicated machine/VM to put it on then checkout this: http://www.turnkeylinux.org/redmine
Thanks for the opinions guys. I don’t see the ugliness that you guys see in Mantis but I haven’t used it extensively (it’s used by an open-source project I’m involved in). Nonetheless, I’ll put some time into Redmine.
It’s not that it’s ugly, it’s just poor graphics.
I have Redmine running in a local Ubuntu box in my office. Now I need to move it to a VPS that has ZPanel install on it. Unfortunately, each time you create a domain, or a subdomain, with Zpanel, the Apache’s virtual hosts configuration file is entirely rewritten, wiping off all customization you may have added to it, like Redmine’s virtual host entry.
