installing review board on VM (Debian)

[abhishek agrawal]

Hi All,

I was trying to install review board on my VM (Debian OS) . I configured MySQL along with APACHE2 and went ahead with installation of review board using usual instructions given at https://www.reviewboard.org/docs/manual/2.5/admin/installation/linux/

. One completed i created a new review board site following the steps given here : https://www.reviewboard.org/docs/manual/2.5/admin/installation/creating-sites/#creating-sites. I got a successful message that "the site has been installed in /var/www/<domainname>" . I gave the required permissions to apache server to access the data at            /var/www/reviewboard.flipkart.com/htdocs/media/uploaded

        * /var/www/reviewboard.flipkart.com/htdocs/media/ext

        * /var/www/reviewboard.flipkart.com/htdocs/static/ext

        * /var/www/reviewboard.flipkart.com/data

but still i am not able to see my site running or even ping it. 

I tried pinging it but its not accessible 

ping <domainname> as well as ping <domainname>:8080 gives "ping: unknown host"

Any help how can i check if my site is up and running.

Thanks,

Abhishek

Abhishek,

That sounds like your server doesn't have valid DNS.

Hi David,

I got the DNS issue resolved and  am able to access reviewboard at <hostname>/reviewboard. I have added the the git repository in the repo information. But now the issue is coming up with .reviewboardrc file. 

My reviewboard is set up on a central server and all the users work on multiple git repositories. What is the optimal way in which everyone can access .reviewboardrc file. Can i keep it in some central place where everyone can access it.

Also i tried doing a post-review but it says command not found. I have already installed rbtools on my local box. rb post is working find but not able to get post-review working. 

Any help on this would be great.

Thanks,

Abhishek

Also, do all the users need to install rbtools on their respective boxes to post reviews.

.reviewboardrc should be added to each individual repository. In the Review Board administration UI for each repository that you've added, there's a sample .reviewboardrc that will specify the server name and the repository ID.

`post-review` was deprecated and its functionality is entirely replaced and expanded by `rbt post` and the other `rbt` commands. `post-review` was removed entirely in the 0.7.x releases.

Users will need rbtools on their systems for the smoothest experience posting their code for review.
