Hi, all! We started using RB for out new Project, and I hope it will be usefull ;) As we are using CentOS I wrote (sort of) howto about installing and configuring RB on CentOS 5.1. Here's link for your review. Comments are wellcome: http://f13o.blogspot.com/2008/01/install-reviewboard-on-centos-51.html

I am a newbie in the world of Django ... So, it took me some time to figure out everything. Hope this will shorten time for other ppl.

Good luck!

For apache user make sure you add SetEnv? P4PORT <perforce:port> SetEnv? P4USER <perforce:user> SetEnv? P4PASSWD <perforce:passwd>

to you httpd.conf file. that should fix the issue with post=review not working.

For everyone who's leaving a comment asking for support, please use our mailing list. We generally don't keep track of comments here, as we're not notified of new comments.

The installation instructions have drastically changed and many of the posts that were on here were no longer relevant and wold be somewhat misleading now. As such, I've deleted a bunch of comments and incorporated what was still relevant back into the guide. Thanks!

Again, for any help, questions or suggestions, please use our mailing list.

On Ubuntu 7, installation with memcache doesn't seem to work. In spite of installing memcached, it complains of:

  raise InvalidCacheBackendError("Memcached cache backend requires either the 'memcache' or 'cmemcache' library")
django.core.cache.backends.base.InvalidCacheBackendError: Memcached cache backend requires either the 'memcache' or 'cmemcache' library

However, "file" works well.

andreas: We're working on supporting fastcgi better, as well as mod_wsgi. A fastcgi init script is coming in alpha 2.

I'm sorry the configuration tools caused you problems, but ultimately it's saved many of our users a lot of frustration. The number of support requests since reducing rb-site has dropped dramatically. Most people don't know how to set up Apache correctly, and providing sample files or documentation was not good enough.

These concerns are best taken to the mailing list, as the comments here are largely ignored and will soon go away.

Perhaps this is obvious but maybe it will help somebody else. If PIL fails to compile, try installing tk-devel and tcl-devel.
