I found the problem. facepalm. I should have guessed. damn selinux. I found it because I realised that the avatars weren't working as after fixing the directory permissions under .../htdocs/media they still didn't work, so I did a "setenforce permissive" and then discovered that, ldap login worked too.
Also, avatars were broken because the original reviewboard install was at rb.example.com and the restored one at rb2.example.com an I hadn't changed the URL in the General Settings. When I looked at the html source, the URL was fully qualified with the domain (https://rb.example.com/media/...blahblah) rather than being a relative URI. When I changed the general settings, the HTML reference also changed of course and avatars started working again. So I guess the local avatar thing is probably a bug since it shouldn't really need to depend on a full URL unless that's a function of the way it's done in order to work with multiple avatar services. -- Supercharge your Review Board with Power Pack: https://www.reviewboard.org/powerpack/ Want us to host Review Board for you?
