Site Settings¶

In this section you’ll specify where the server lives (on the Internet and geographically) and administrator contacts.

The following settings can be configured:

• Server:

  The URL of the site. This should include the http:// or https:// but should not contain the subdirectory Review Board is set up to use.

  This setting is required.

• Media URL:

  The URL to the media files. This can point to a dedicated server, or it can be a path relative to installed Review Board site.

  This setting is optional, and if left blank, the default media path of /media/ is used.

• Administrator Name:

  The full name of the primary administrator for this Review Board site.

  This setting is required.

• Administrator E-Mail:

  The e-mail address of the primary administrator for this Review Board site.

  This setting is required.

• Time Zone:

  The time zone where the server resides. All the timestamps shown for review requests will be based on this time zone.

  It’s important to note that changing the time zone will have no effect on any existing review requests. It will only take effect for new review requests. This is due to a limitation in how the timestamps are stored, and is beyond our control.

Search¶

• Enable search:

  If enabled, a search field is provided at the top of every page to quickly search through review requests.

  This feature depends on a working Installing PyLucene and regular Search Indexing to work.

• Search index directory:

  The directory on the server’s file system where the search index files will be stored. This defaults to a directory named “search-index” in the site’s directory, if left blank.

  Either absolute or relative paths can be provided. A relative path will always be relative to the site directory.

  This option is only available if search is enabled.
