please, please, please, please help me with installation
It's 8:10 pm and I have been fighting with reviewboard installation for last SIX hours. I tried with apache2 and I ran into 000-default site problem.. from https://www.reviewboard.org/docs/manual/dev/admin/installation/creating-sites/#creating-sites: Some Apache installations (such as the default installs on Debian and Ubuntu) by default define a global virtual host that shares /var/www as the document root. This may lead to problems with your install. If you access your site and see nothing but a directory listing, then you’re affected by this problem. The solution is to remove the “default” site from your /etc/apache2/sites-enabled directory. This may be called something like default or 000-default. Then I had to figure out after an hour that I had to specify --web-server if I want to use lighttpd. After that there were some few more errors (I can go into details but I don't think that's going to help my cause). So here is process I have followed: http://alephnullplex.appspot.com/blog/view/2009/07/09/tutorial-installing-review-board-on-ubuntu Replace installation of apache2 with lighttpd and mod-python with fastcgi. Nothing works. Right now I am here: *rb-site manage /var/www/reviewboard runfcgi method=threaded* WSGIServer: missing FastCGI param REQUEST_METHOD required by WSGI!

Hi Neel, lighttpd is not well-supported, which is why it's considered an advanced option. Very few people seem to use it. I'd *strongly* suggest using Apache + mod_wsgi (daemon mode works well these days), if at all possible. You'll have the best support that way. FastCGI is a bad option. We've seen people hit all sorts of issues with it. The Python community has rallied around mod_wsgi and similar solutions instead. I think you'll find that if you use the standard recommended options from rb-site, you'll have a much easier time getting going. As for the 000-default file, I'm sorry it cost you an hour of time. It is annoying that Apache ships that..

Hi Neel,
You definitely want to remove the 000-default file.
If the site isn't showing, that's often an indicator that Apache either isn't
seeing the Review Board config file, or the VirtualHost setup is wrong.
Can you provide the reviewboard.conf file along with Apache's httpd.conf?
Can you also look in the error_log in /var/log/{apache2|httpd} to see if it
says anything?
By the way, how are you accessing the site? Can you show me the exact URL
you're using?
Christian

Hi Christian,
Thanks for the reply. The problem with Apache was that even if I removed
000-default folder or disabled it, I still could not get apache2 to display
reviewboard site. here are the complete steps I did; these are basically
the same steps mentioned in the tutorial site I mentioned above but little
bit of changes which I have made bold in listing below. Do you think I need
to change something:
sudo apt-get install apache2
*sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-wsgi*
sudo a2enmod python
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb
sudo apt-get install memcached
sudo apt-get install memcached-dev
sudo apt-get install python-memcache
mysql -uroot -p
mysql create database reviewboard;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
mysql create user 'rb'@'localhost' identified by 'rb_password';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql grant all on reviewboard.* to 'rb'@'localhost'
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
mysql exit
Bye
sudo apt-get install patch
sudo apt-get install subversion
sudo apt-get install python-svn
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
sudo easy_install reviewboard
sudo rb-site install /var/www/reviewboard
*sudo chown -R www-data /var/www/reviewboard/htdocs/media/uploaded*
*sudo chown -R www-data /var/www/reviewboard/data*
*cd /etc/apache2/sites-available*
*cp /var/www/reviewboard/conf/apache-wsgi.conf reviewboard.conf*
*cd ../sites-enabled*
*ln -s ../sites-available/reviewboard.conf .*
*If I remove 000-default folder\file, I get this webpage not available
error..*
optional steps (Because default site is still enabled)
sudo a2dissite 000-default
sudo a2ensite reviewboard
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
-Neel.
