I'm struggling through the Apache configuration. I've finally got the
various paths set correctly and I no longer get any errors in the
apache log files, but I can't get rid of the silly "Manual server
updates required" page.
I've checked the paths to the reviewboard/htdocs/media/uploaded/images
directory and made sure they are all owned by the webserver user.
Heck, I've even chmod'ed them all as 777! I've done the
fixscreenshots bit.
It all works fine if I run the "manage.py runserver <machine>:8000"
server. With the simple server, I can log in and manage reviewboard.
But through Apache, at "http://<machine>" I get the "Manual server
updates required" page.
Any tips on what might still be required to get Apache serving pages?
This is using Apache 2.0 with Django 1.0 on Windows XP.
Here's the relevant part of my httpd.conf file (reviewboard is in C:/
reviewboard, it took a long time to figure out the PythonPath):

I got the same problem : "Manual server updates required" page.
My configuration seems to be more or less the same than daniel.
Some informations about my installation :

reviewboard is checkout in /usr/share

In both your cases, which instructions is it showing for the manual server updates? There are currently two things that can trigger this page. One being that /media/uploaded/images is not a directory, and one being that syncdb hasn't been ran.
I'm assuming the former in both your cases.

Both errors were reported by this page for me. So, I created the /media/uploaded/images I "chowned" this new directory to www-data which is the apache user I executed the ./manage.sh syncdb I reloaded apache (I don't really think it was necessary)
No more error about the images directory but it is still said that i need to sync my db ... ever, and ever ...

I also got both errors when I updated yesterday. The directories in
question needs to be owned or read/writeable by the Apache user; a
quick hack (and it is a hack) is to (from media) "chmod 777 -R
uploaded".

Thanks for the replies. Good to see this is happening to others!
The tan manual server updates required box is followed by a single
light blue "Database changes" box that indicates that the schema has
changed since my last upgrade and I need to run syncdb.
I get no errors when I run syncdb. Even better, there has been no
upgrade. This is a completely fresh install.
Also, reviewboard works properly when I use the built-in server on
port 8000. I only get these messages via Apache on port 80.
My directories are all chmod'ed 777.
I think that, like Guillaume, I initially had the "images" error, but
that's gone away.

Reviewboard is installed from scratch in this case, using sqlite and
the standard instructions on Getting Started. Django was installed
from an egg file using an egg file and easy_install (IIRC). This is
using Python25 on Windows XP.
C:\reviewboard>manage.py shell

Reading through the Django/mod_python docs, it does indicate that
Django eats the error messages. Is there any place to look to see the
errors or any way to enable error reporting? I've turned on
PythonDebug in my httpd.conf file to no avail. I also tried following
the egg-specific instructions in the Django mod_python setup
instructions. I created a writable directory in "C:/reviewboard/
enable_eggs" and added the following lines to my httpd.conf file
outside the VirtualHost block:

Daniel, are you on Windows? If so how are chmoding, cygwin, colinux?
Chmoding via cygwin won't work, you'll need to use the Windows native
security settings; to give whatever the Apache user is read/write
perms, do it via the folder's properties (right-click->properties-
>'Security' tab). Btw, I accidentally changed the security settings on
the wrong directory "reviewboard\uploaded" instead of "reviewboard
\htdocs\media\uploaded". That confused me for a couple of minutes. :(
I'm a bit confused though, are you still getting the "Database
changes" box, even after a sync? Have you tried "manage.py evolve"?
Guillaume, are you sure you've created the images directory?

Thanks for sticking with me, but I still have the same issue.
Yes, I'm on Windows and I was using cygwin's chmod/chown commands. I
just tried using the Window's security settings, as you suggested, but
that didn't change anything. I still get the "Database changes" box.
The syncdb command never told me to do an evolve, but I had tried it
before, just in case, and I tried it again now, and it just returns
"No evolution required."
Yes, I still get the Database changes box, even after I run syncdb
with no errors. The only output from syncdb is:
C:\reviewboard>manage.py evolve
No evolution required.
C:\reviewboard>manage.py syncdb
Installing json fixture 'initial_data' from 'C:\reviewboard\scmtools
\fixtures'.
Installed 6 object(s) from 1 fixture(s)

./manage.py syncdb reply yes and add an admin account You can now test your installation this ./manage.py runserver and access http://YOUR_SERVER:8000

I guess your reviewboard is not able to find the database ...
I got the same early today running my reviewboard via wsgi, and
indicating a relative path to the sqlite file.
Indicating the absolute path to the sqlite database solved the issue,
but then I realized I did not wanted it rooted on my server, but with
a SITE_ROOT value, and switched to mod_python (which did not solved my
problem, but I did not switched back to wsgi yet).
In a nuttshel: reviewboard were not able to find my database and
continuously asking me to recreate it, I gave him the absolute path
and it solved it.

Ben

Specifically, I had to change the DATABASE_NAME value in
settings_local.py to the absolute path to my sqlite database: "C:/
reviewboard/reviewboard.sqlite"
Now Apache is working for me! W00t!
Thanks everyone!

Yes, good news, it also work for me ! :-D Documentation should be completed to underline that point ! I know it is specific to sqlite DB configuration but still ...
I think I will also take a look at post-review configuration. It's Funny to see that Daniel fallow the same track ;-)
