Following the instructions for customization at
http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/3.0/html/cust-templates.html#template-edit, I created ..\custom\global in the template directory, and copied variables.none.tmpl into ..\custom\global. I then edited variables.none.tmpl %terms to change "bugs" to "requests", and change "Bugzilla" to "Resource Management". I then executed checksetup.pl, which returned no errors.
Upon a refresh of the bugzilla page(s), the changes were not there, nor were the original text. Blanks now populate where the original terms were. Other posts (
http://fixunix.com/mozilla/414715-bugzilla-custom-template-problem.html) suggest clearing the browser cache, which I did many times, as well as restarting apache and mysql, rebooting, trying several other computer browsers on the same local network, to no avail.
