I have recently taken an installation from a Debian site host to a new CentOS 6 host. We initially setup Review Board on the Debian system for evaluation. Our developers code on Windows systems running Cygwin and use Perforce for revision control. We have installed post-review on our developer systems and have been able to post and update reviews.
I installed Review Board on our new server and transferred the MySQL database. All has been well with one exception: Our new server will not connect to Perforce. I have entered our Perforce information to the repository database, and have looked at the table directly in MySQL (select * from scmtools_repository) and see all the same/correct information. I am able to log onto the host machine and execute Perforce commands. One thing I've noted that is different between the two hosts is that on the Debian system the Apache user was 'www-data' and was a login user. On the CentOS 6 the Apache user is 'apache' and is not a login user. I haven't been able to determine if that is significant or not. On interesting observation is that when I run post-review in debug mode I am able to see the Perforce info being pulled from the Review Board site and used successfully to run the diff on the client Windows/Cygwin system. But when post-review executes the "http://.../api/json/reviewrequests/new"; POST the new request fails. I can see an error reported in the Review Board log on the server under the Admin Dashboard. Here is the full error log message: Internal Server Error: /api/json/reviewrequests/new/ Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Django-1.3-py2.6.egg/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 111, in get_response response = callback(request, *callback_args, **callback_kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Django-1.3-py2.6.egg/django/views/decorators/cache.py", line 79, in _wrapped_view_func response = view_func(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ReviewBoard-1.5.5-py2.6.egg/reviewboard/webapi/decorators.py", line 61, in _view response = view_func(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Djblets-0.6.9-py2.6.egg/djblets/webapi/decorators.py", line 88, in _checklogin return view_func(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/Django-1.3-py2.6.egg/django/views/decorators/http.py", line 45, in inner return func(request, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ReviewBoard-1.5.5-py2.6.egg/reviewboard/webapi/json.py", line 318, in new_review_request user, repository, request.POST.get('changenum', None)) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ReviewBoard-1.5.5-py2.6.egg/reviewboard/reviews/managers.py", line 90, in create review_request.update_from_changenum(changenum) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ReviewBoard-1.5.5-py2.6.egg/reviewboard/reviews/models.py", line 358, in update_from_changenum update_obj_with_changenum(self, self.repository, changenum) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ReviewBoard-1.5.5-py2.6.egg/reviewboard/reviews/models.py", line 40, in update_obj_with_changenum changeset = repository.get_scmtool().get_changeset(changenum) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ReviewBoard-1.5.5-py2.6.egg/reviewboard/scmtools/perforce.py", line 64, in get_changeset self._connect() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ReviewBoard-1.5.5-py2.6.egg/reviewboard/scmtools/perforce.py", line 48, in _connect self.p4.connect() P4Exception: [P4.connect()] Connect to server failed; check $P4PORT. TCP connect to perforce...:1666 failed. connect: perforce...:1666: Permission denied As you can see, we are using RB 1.5.5. It's interesting that the "perforce...com:1666" is the correct P4PORT setting (I've replaced our actual p4 server name with perforce...). I've tried hacking into the perforce.py file to find out what it thinks the perforce port, user, and password are, but I'm new to Python and haven't been able to get it to tell me those values. I can't imagine why these would not be the values in the repository database, but I can't confirm it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I was hoping this would be a quick and easy transfer, and most everything has gone fine, except for this. -- Want to help the Review Board project?
