Hi Mike, The reviewboard.fcgi script is a Python shell script. It was written with the assumption of being executed like other *nix shell scripts, where the first line indicates which interpreter will run the file. On Windows, this isn't usually the case unless you're running in cygwin or something.
Our fastcgi support hasn't been tested on Windows. People usually use Apache and mod_python. From a Google search, I'm not entirely sure that fastcgi works right with Django-based apps on Windows. Some people have it working but it involves modifying your reviewboard.fcgi, running the script manually instead of letting lighttpd handle it, and telling lighttpd that the fastcgi server is remote. This doesn't exactly cover it (it's Apache-based), but see http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/8742 Christian -- Christian Hammond - chip...@chipx86.com Review Board - http://www.reviewboard.org VMware, Inc. - http://www.vmware.com On Sun, Apr 4, 2010 at 9:57 PM, drmikecrowe <drmikecr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi folks, > > I thought I was close with getting ReviewBoard running on Windows, but > hit a snag I can't find on Google to fix.
