I'm answering my own questions in case others run into similar problems. I
figured out that the reviewbot process looks for the reviewbot_cookies.txt
file in the directory where you ran 'reviewbot worker'. So the uid running
the reviewbot process needs to be able to write to that directory.
I installed reviewbot on our 1.7.14 server using these instructions:
https://github.com/reviewboard/ReviewBot
It looks like pep8 and cppcheck are automatically installed with reviewbot,
but I don't see them listed in the extension list. I'm looking for them
under
*Extensions - Database -
Right after the section you've pasted, you'll see this:
After a tool has been installed on a worker, it must be registered with the
Review Bot extension, and configured in the admin panel. Registering tools
is accomplished in the following manner:
1. Go to the extension list in the admin
Sorry, I should have mentioned that I did that. I even restarted apache
and did the refresh again. I'm still not seeing any extensions.

This may be the problem. I'm running the reviewbot worker as apache and
seeing this error:

creating a cookie file: [Errno 13] Permission denied:

Okay, I restarted the reviewbot work as root and now the extensions show
up. The reviewbot-cookies.txt file was written into the directory where I
cloned the reviewbot source, which was owned by root. I didn't expect that
directory to be a working directory. That seems odd to me.
