## Reporting Bugs
If you have discovered a bug in SilverStripe, we'd be glad to hear about it -
well written bug reports can be half of the solution already!
2013-01-22 11:53:55 +01:00
Our bugtracker is located on [open.silverstripe.org](http://open.silverstripe.org/).
Before submitting a bug:
* Ask for assistance on the [forums](http://silverstripe.org/forums), [core mailinglist](http://groups.google.com/group/silverstripe-dev) or on [IRC](http://silverstripe.org/irc) if you're unsure if its really a bug.
* [Search for existing tickets](http://open.silverstripe.org/query?keywords=~&description=~&summary=~&col=id&col=summary&col=owner&col=type&col=status&col=priority&col=milestone&col=changetime&desc=1&order=changetime) before reporting a new one
* Is this a security issue? Please follow our separate reporting guidelines below.
* Is this a issue with the core framework or cms? Modules have their own issue trackers (see [silverstripe.org/modules](http://www.silverstripe.org/modules))
* Try to reproduce your issue on a [clean installation](http://doc.silverstripe.org/framework/en/installation/composer#using-development-versions), maybe the bug has already been fixed on an unreleased branch?
* The bugtracker is not the place to discuss enhancements, please use the forums or mailinglist.
Only log enhancement tickets if they gather a large interest in the community
and the enhancement is likely to be implemented in the next couple of months.
If the issue does look like a new bug:
* [Create a new ticket](http://open.silverstripe.org/newticket)
* Describe the steps required to reproduce your issue, and the expected outcome. Unit tests and screencasts can help here.
* Describe your environment as detailed as possible: SilverStripe version, Browser, PHP version, Operating System, any installed SilverStripe modules.
* Add keywords to help us organize issues, and please be realistic about the issue priority. Don't set milestones.
* *(optional)* [Submit a pull request](/misc/contributing/code) which fixes the issue.

Ensure you give us enough information to diagnose your issue:
* Switch your site to "[dev mode](http://doc.silverstripe.org/framework/en/topics/debugging)". Paste any PHP errors with their stacktraces. A generic "Server Error" message is not enough information.
* If you suspect a JavaScript or CSS bug, check if it appears in other browsers
* Use the [Chrome dev tools](https://developers.google.com/chrome-developer-tools/docs/overview) or [Firefox dev tools](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools)
* Use the JavaScript console in your browser to determine if any errors happened there, and paste the complete info into issue description.
* Use the "Network" panel to determine if any XHR ("Ajax") requests have returned errors, and paste the HTTP headers as well as HTTP response body into the issue description.
## Reporting Security Issues
Report security issues to [security@silverstripe.com](mailto:security@silverstripe.com). See our "[Release Process](release-process)" documentation for more info, and read our guide on [how to write secure code](/topics/security).
