I've been working on a new install on an lxc container on a proxmox box running ubuntu-20.04. I've finally got everything setup and I logged in as admin to add a repository and it wants me to select a repository type but there are no items for me to select. This happens for both on the latest firefox and safari. 

After filling out all the information I can this is what I see.

I don't see any logs in my site directory nor any errors in the apache/errors.log.


Also if anyone can add to the documentation page ( https://www.reviewboard.org/docs/manual/dev/admin/installation/creating-sites/#creating-sites ). during the install I had to do
chown -R www-data /var/www/{my-site}/htdocs/media/ext otherwise I got a 400 error and the apache log says. No handlers could be found for logger "djblets.extensions.manager" .

Thanks,
Sean

Hi Sean,

Do any repository types show up when you select "Custom" as the service?

What version of Review Board are you using?

We'll get the docs fixed up. When first setting up the site, it should check these directories and guide you through it, before it's able to serve up any content.

Hi Christian,

I’m using the latest from pip, 3.0.18. When on custom it shows team foundation server and team foundation server (git). When i first logged into reviewboard I did not have anything run me through a setup.

Thanks,
-Sean

That's a common symptom of a version conflict, either past or present. While attempting to pull in the registrations for those repository types, Python's packaging system is erroring out, saying that a package we depend on isn't available or a version range we require doesn't match what's installed.

There should be a "VersionConflict" error in the reviewboard.log or Apache error_log. If there's not, you can try running:

    rb-site manage /path/to/sitedir registerscmtools

That will force a re-registration, and if there's a VersionConflict still occurring, you should see it then. Let me know what you see and I can assist in resolving it.
