It seems like I can get Rboard installed/configured and running on a dedicated Apache webserver, with Rboard as a Vhost (standard install and config.).
However, once I move over an index.html file in place (/var/www/html...) Apache can no longer serve the (Previously) configured Rboard Vhost/Rboard website., and only those pages listed within the index.html file as URL's.
Does the Rboard Apache Vhost somehow conflict with Apache using an index.html file as it's Primary interface? It seems like I can't get both being available and running on the same Apache instance? What am I missing?

Hi Ant,

Apache can be configured in a lot of ways. Depending on that configuration, it may prioritize a site with index.html, serving that up instead of the default handler, which forwards on to the Review Board service.

A Review Board virtual host cannot contain content from other services. It must own the entire virtual host. It's recommended to give Review Board a virtual host like 'reviews.example.com' or 'reviewboard.example.com', and have any other content in its own virtualhost.

Hi Christian, I think I'm almost there! I copied the data only from a different system's postgresql database to an upgraded CentOS 8.5 system running Postgres13 & Reviewboard 4.0. I then copied over the Secret Key from the settings.py file from the older system to the new one as well. However, I still don't see specific individual Reviews when a user logs in and tries to see their work (on the new system). What am I missing? It seems as though the database either isn't really connected and/or the dbdump/dbrestore didn't bring over the data correctly? Suggestions?

Hi,

Is it that 0 review requests are showing up on the system, or that a person isn't seeing their own review requests on their dashboard? If the former, it does sound like the old data wasn't moved into the new database.

Can you give me a walkthrough on what you did for the data dump/restore? Did you use Postgres's own commands for the data dump/restore? If not, that's what you'll want to use.

Hi Christian, I finally got Reviewboard to the point of being able to see the Admin Dashboard and individual users authenticating via Active Directory. However, when a user "clicks" on a respective Review within their account, an "Error 500" and what appears to be an Subversion error msg. "ImportError: SVN integration requires either subvertpy or pysvn, referrer" Any idea how to remedy this? (I have a week to get this working or I might get axed. For real!)
