I'm trying to install Review Board 1.5 on Windows Server 2008 following the installation steps in the documentation. The following command "easy_install ReviewBoard" fails to install the paramiko dependency. It looks like the "paramiko" download link is broken. Any insight on how can I proceed wi

Re: Windows Installation

You can only access the reviewboard server on your vm. It may be your vm network configuration problem. If you use NAT connection, you should configure your vm port for access outside the vm. patchutils is needed. Or you will meet problems when submit a review diff and view the diffs. Cygwin is n

Hi folks, I thought I was close with getting ReviewBoard running on Windows, but hit a snag I can't find on Google to fix. Here's my error: 2010-04-05 00:21:31: (log.c.97) server started 2010-04-05 00:21:31: (mod_fastcgi.c.1051) the fastcgi-backend C:/ Lighty2Go/HTDOCS/reviewboard/htdocs/reviewb

Unfortunately, given that the site is down, and we don't control where paramiko comes from and don't have a copy of the Windows one to mirror, there's not much we can do until they get the site back up. I'm trying to investigate a solution to this. Christian -- Christian Hammond - chip...@chipx8

Hi Peter. As far as I know, Christian is leaving these days. That's why the support delay. I am sorry about that. I am not the last word on that. The three scripts above are what easy_intall suppose to install. Is there anything not working? Thanks Hongbin On Tue, Jul 5, 2011 at 6:57 PM, ptrchen

I recently installed Review Board on Windows, though I'm afraid I wimped out of memcached for the time-being because its just a trial installation. I made a fairly detailed braindump on our internal wiki, and have copied this as best I can for public viewing here: http://waveydavey.wordpress.com/

Yep. No plans to move or remove it.  It would be good to see the info incorporated into the Review Board documentation - especially if people who know better than me can correct or improve on some the the things I could have done better.   Christian Hammond said the following on 05/03/2009 09

Hi Mike, The reviewboard.fcgi script is a Python shell script. It was written with the assumption of being executed like other *nix shell scripts, where the first line indicates which interpreter will run the file. On Windows, this isn't usually the case unless you're running in cygwin or somethin

Re: Windows Installation: Trouble posting diff by hand

The base diff path should be whatever directory (relative to the root of the SVN tree) that you were in when you generated the diff. So if you're in C:\MyProject and that directory is really http://svn.example.com/svn/trunk/MyProject, then your base diff path is /trunk/MyProject. It's confusing at

Re: Windows installation: Instructions to run using django dev server

First off, the dev server should never be used for anything but development. It is single-threaded and can only handle one request at a time. That means a browser can't download several images, javascript files, etc. simultaneously, and if one client is rendering a diff, everything else is fully bl

Re: Windows Installation w/ Apache 2: What if I don't have sites-available or sites-enabled directories?

Hi Sam. Some distros don't provide a sites-available or sites-enabled. In these cases, I'd just recommend modifying httpd.conf and append the configuration. It sounds like you've tried this, though. Does the Apache error log say anything? Also, make sure you have a NameVirtualHost entry somewhere

Do you have "uploaded" and "uploaded/images" directories owned by the web server in your site's htdocs/media/ directory? If not, go ahead and create them and then restart Apache. If you're using rb-site, then "rb-site /path/to/site upgrade" will take care of the syncdb, the evolve, and fixing any
