I just installed ReviewBoard yesterday on RedHat with Apache and
MySQL, and I'm having this weird problem.

Every once in a while, about 10 or so links clicked, the "Manual
Server Upgrade" page shows up saying that I need to change the
permissions on my images/uploaded directory. It shows the wrong path
to the files as well (e.g. /root/reviewboard/.... instead of /srv/
reviewboard/...) If I hit refresh, it successfully goes to the page I
was trying to get to. The permissions on the real folder are correct.

I'm confused, and I'm not sure where to look. Thanks for any help.

And as a friend just pointed out, this can be brutal when trying to
use post-review, and it will return html crap. It may also break /
api/ stuff, but I haven't seen it yet.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Jeff. Sorry for the late reply, but I've been away from the computer most of the past few days.

Obviously, that page should not be appearing every so often. If it claims that the path is /root/reviewboard, then we need to find out why it thinks that. Can you provide your settings_local.py file (excluding any sensitive information)?

I'm sorry for the late reply as well, for some reason I didn't get the
alert that someone had replied...

Anyways, here is my settings_local.py. I don't think it could be
anything in there, and yes I removed sensitive information:
-----
DATABASE_ENGINE = 'mysql' # 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or
'ado_mssql'.
DATABASE_NAME = 'rb' # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
DATABASE_USER = 'nope' # Not used with sqlite3.
DATABASE_PASSWORD = 'nowayjose' # Not used with sqlite3.
DATABASE_HOST = '' # Set to empty string for localhost.
DATABASE_PORT = '' # Set to empty string for default.
SECRET_KEY = 'SECRETSYOUDONTGET'
# CACHE_BACKEND = ''
TIME_ZONE = 'US/Eastern'
LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en-us'
SITE_ID = 1
# SITE_ROOT = "/reviewboard/"
USE_I18N = True
LDAP_TLS = False
-------
And that's all that's in there. I removed the comments for brevity.

I appreciate any and all help with this, as it's irradic and may be
hard to track down.
