| 1228 | 305 Copy the ``cgi-bin/roundup.cgi`` file to your web server's ``cgi-bin`` |
| 306 directory. You will need to configure it to tell it where your tracker home | |
| 307 is. You can do this either: | |
| 308 | |
| 309 through an environment variable | |
| 310 set the variable TRACKER_HOMES to be a colon (":") separated list of | |
| 311 name=home pairs (if you're using apache, the SetEnv directive can do this) | |
| 312 directly in the ``roundup.cgi`` file itself | |
| 313 add your instance to the TRACKER_HOMES variable as ``'name': 'home'`` | |
| 314 | |
| 315 The "name" part of the configuration will appear in the URL and identifies the | |
| 316 tracker (so you may have more than one tracker per cgi-bin script). Make sure | |
| 317 there are no spaces or other illegal characters in it (to be safe, stick to | |
| 318 letters and numbers). The "name" forms part of the URL that appears in the | |
| 319 tracker config TRACKER_WEB variable, so make sure they match. The "home" | |
| 320 part of the configuration is the tracker home directory. | |

| 1228 | 332 Stand-alone Web Server |
| 333 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| 334 | |
| 335 This approach will give you the fastest of the three web interfaces. You may | |
| 336 investigate using ProxyPass or similar configuration in apache to have your | |
| 337 tracker accessed through the same URL as other systems. | |
| 338 | |
| 339 The stand-alone web server is started with the command ``roundup-server``. It | |
| 340 has several options - display them with ``roundup-server -h``. | |
| 341 | |
| 342 The tracker home configuration is similar to the cgi-bin - you may either edit | |
| 343 the script to change the TRACKER_HOMES variable or you may supply the | |
| 344 name=home values on the command-line after all the other options. | |
| 345 | |
| 346 To make the server run in the background, use the "-d" option, specifying the | |
| 347 name of a file to write the server process id (pid) to. | |
| 348 | |
| 349 | |
| 350 Zope Product - ZRoundup | |
| 351 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| 352 | |
| 353 ZRoundup installs as a regular Zope product. Copy the ZRoundup directory to | |
| 354 your Products directory either in INSTANCE_HOME/Products or the Zope | |
| 355 code tree lib/python/Products. | |
| 356 | |
| 357 When you next (re)start up Zope, you will be able to add a ZRoundup object | |
| 358 that interfaces to your new tracker. | |

| 1228 | 473 There are three supported ways to get emailed issues into the |
| 474 Roundup tracker. You should pick ONE of the following, all | |
| 475 of which will continue my example setup from above: | |
| 476 | |
| 477 As a mail alias pipe process | |
| 478 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| 479 | |
| 480 Set up a mail alias called "issue_tracker" as (include the quote marks): | |
| 481 "``|/usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/roundup-mailgw <tracker_home>``" | |
| 482 | |
| 483 In some installations (e.g. RedHat 6.2 I think) you'll need to set up smrsh so | |
| 484 sendmail will accept the pipe command. In that case, symlink | |
| 485 ``/etc/smrsh/roundup-mailgw`` to "``/usr/local/bin/roundup-mailgw``" and change | |
| 486 the command to:: | |
| 487 | |
| 488 |roundup-mailgw /opt/roundup/trackers/support | |
| 489 | |
| 490 To test the mail gateway on unix systems, try:: | |
| 491 | |
| 492 echo test |mail -s '[issue] test' support@YOUR_DOMAIN_HERE | |
