Can't change Server field

[Alfred von Campe]

I recently had to migrate a ReviewBoard instance from one server to another. I have the new instance running, and everything seems to be OK except that emails sent by the new instance contain URLs that point to the old server. When I log into the Admin interface and try to change the Server field in GENERAL SETTINGS, it says “The settings have been saved”, but when the page refreshes the old server name is back in the Server field. What am I doing wrong?

P.S. I haven’t been following this list for a few months, so sorry if this has been asked and answered before, but are there plans to make RB 2.X available via EPEL for CentOS 6?

Hi Alfred,

Which version of Review Board is this? I remember an old bug about this, but it has since been fixed.

The latest available via the EPEL repo: 1.7.25

Can you try restarting the web server after modifying that setting?

I also had this issue and restarting the server fixed it. ReviewBoard 2.0.6. It's a little disconcerting to have to restart the server for this change. Where is the setting stored? I didn't see it in the site-config via rb-site manage anywhere.

This is stored in Django's Sites tables. It does require a restart right now, as there's no state tracking to know from other threads that the table has changed. If you want to file a bug report, we can look into improving this.

Done: https://code.google.com/p/reviewboard/issues/detail?id=3563

A short term fix would be to have the form prompt the editor that this change will require a restart of the server to prevent confusion.
