What version are you running?
reviewboard 1.0.6

What's the URL of the page containing the problem?
localhost

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. follow install steps on
http://www.reviewboard.org/docs/manual/1.0/admin/installation/linux/
2. use lighttpd and sqlite
3. setup a site /var/www/rb.example.com

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see a reviewboard page, instead I see a 404 page (edited for
Debug=True):


Using the URLconf defined in djblets.util.rooturl, Django tried these URL
patterns, in this order:

   1. ^ ^admin/
   2. ^ ^media/(?P<path>.*)$
   3. ^ ^account/
   4. ^ ^api/(?P<api_format>json|xml)/
   5. ^ ^r/
   6. ^ ^reports/
   7. ^ ^dashboard/$
   8. ^ ^users/$
   9. ^ ^users/(?P<username>[A-Za-z0-9@_\-\.]+)/$
  10. ^ ^groups/$
  11. ^ ^groups/(?P<name>[A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/$
  12. ^ ^groups/(?P<name>[A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/members/$
  13. ^ ^feeds/rss/(?P<url>.*)/$
  14. ^ ^feeds/atom/(?P<url>.*)/$
  15. ^ ^account/logout/$
  16. ^ ^$
  17. ^ ^iphone/

The current URL, reviewboard.fcgi/dashboard/, didn't match any of these.


What operating system are you using? What browser?
Ubuntu 9.10, Mozilla Firefox 3.7a4pre

Please provide any additional information below.
I have tried following instructions to setup apache and mysql with no luck
(could be a lack of proper setup of these tools on my part).  I have done a
sample django app on my localhost and it works as expected.

For Apache2 I found when converting from mod_python to fastcgi, that I had to change
the reviewboard.fcgi script to get it to work correctly for 1.5beta2. I wasn't
successful at getting lighttpd working so can't offer specific advice on that server.
My reviewboard.fcgi script with my changes:

<IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
        AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
        AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi

        FastCGIServer
"/home/test/ReviewBoard/Virtual/Test_RB1/htdocs/reviewboard.fcgi" -socket
"/home/test/ReviewBoard/Virtual/Test_RB1/tmp/fastcgi.sock"
</IfModule>
<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName testrb1.example.com
        DocumentRoot "/home/test/ReviewBoard/Virtual/Test_RB1/htdocs"

        # Alias static media requests to filesystem
        Alias /media "/home/test/ReviewBoard/Virtual/Test_RB1/htdocs/media"
        Alias /errordocs "/home/test/ReviewBoard/Virtual/Test_RB1/htdocs/errordocs"
    # I added doxygen
    Alias /doxygen "/var/www/doxygen"

        # Error handlers
        ErrorDocument 500 /errordocs/500.html

        <Directory "/home/test/ReviewBoard/Virtual/Test_RB1/htdocs">
                AllowOverride All
        </Directory>

    <Directory "/var/www/doxygen">
                AllowOverride All
        </Directory>

        # Direct all other requests to the fastcgi server
        RewriteEngine on
    RewriteLog /var/log/apache2/rewrite.log
    RewriteLogLevel 3
        <IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
        # I had to add /reviews to start of each rule, that is my RB base
                RewriteRule ^/reviews/(media.*)$ /$1 [QSA,L,PT]
                RewriteRule ^/reviews/(docs.*)$ /$1 [QSA,L,PT]
        # I added doxygen, based off /var/www
        RewriteRule ^/doxygen/(.*)$ /doxygen/html/$1 [QSA,L,PT]
        </IfModule>
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /reviewboard.fcgi/$1 [QSA,L]
</VirtualHost>

I am running inside a VirtualEnv environment, but I don't think that affects the fcgi
setup. I also had to modify the reviewboard fastcgi wrapper app to set a PATH
environment to be able to run the server, so the patch utility could be found, but I
don't know if that is an issue with 1.0
