Completely manual installation

[Grover D]

Hello,

I am running a very old version of ReviewBoard (2.5.7). I completely understand that this version is not supported any longer and has not been for a long time. To facilitate updating the system, I need to install it on a new system to work out the path. I am also running this on an unsupported Unix.

Is there a place I can find the manual installation directions for this version of ReviewBoard? I know I will need to run them all manually.

I am using postgres for the database and yes, I have python 2.7.18 installed.

Thanks,

Grover

Hi,

You shouldn't need to install 2.5.7. If you install your desired version on your target host, then move the database and data directory over, you should be able to run `rb-site upgrade`.

David,

Is there a way via the CLI that I can change the hostname/ip address review board is running with? I really want to clone the system and update the clone. The compatibility issues are very severe.

Thanks! I appreciate the help!

Most of the hostname/IP configuration will just be in your OS/web server configuration. The details of that depend on what you're running.

After you do that, if you're changing the domain that the system is accessible on, the one thing that will need to change in Review Board is the "server name" in the general settings at /admin/settings/general/
