| 326 Web Server cgi-bin | |
| 327 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| 328 | |
| 329 A benefit of using the cgi-bin approach is that it's the easiest way to | |
| 330 restrict access to your tracker to only use HTTPS. Access will be slower | |
| 331 than through the `stand-alone web server`_ though. | |
| 332 | |

| 1228 | 345 Copy the ``cgi-bin/roundup.cgi`` file to your web server's ``cgi-bin`` |
| 346 directory. You will need to configure it to tell it where your tracker home | |
| 347 is. You can do this either: | |
| 348 | |
| 349 through an environment variable | |
| 350 set the variable TRACKER_HOMES to be a colon (":") separated list of | |
| 351 name=home pairs (if you're using apache, the SetEnv directive can do this) | |
| 352 directly in the ``roundup.cgi`` file itself | |
| 353 add your instance to the TRACKER_HOMES variable as ``'name': 'home'`` | |
| 354 | |
| 355 The "name" part of the configuration will appear in the URL and identifies the | |
| 356 tracker (so you may have more than one tracker per cgi-bin script). Make sure | |
| 357 there are no spaces or other illegal characters in it (to be safe, stick to | |
| 358 letters and numbers). The "name" forms part of the URL that appears in the | |
| 359 tracker config TRACKER_WEB variable, so make sure they match. The "home" | |
| 360 part of the configuration is the tracker home directory. | |
| 361 | |
| 362 Stand-alone Web Server | |
| 363 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| 364 | |
| 365 This approach will give you the fastest of the three web interfaces. You may | |
| 366 investigate using ProxyPass or similar configuration in apache to have your | |
| 367 tracker accessed through the same URL as other systems. | |
| 368 | |
| 369 The stand-alone web server is started with the command ``roundup-server``. It | |
| 370 has several options - display them with ``roundup-server -h``. | |
| 371 | |
| 372 The tracker home configuration is similar to the cgi-bin - you may either edit | |
| 373 the script to change the TRACKER_HOMES variable or you may supply the | |
| 374 name=home values on the command-line after all the other options. | |
| 375 | |
| 376 To make the server run in the background, use the "-d" option, specifying the | |
| 377 name of a file to write the server process id (pid) to. | |
| 378 | |
| 379 | |
| 380 Zope Product - ZRoundup | |
| 381 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| 382 | |
| 383 ZRoundup installs as a regular Zope product. Copy the ZRoundup directory to | |
| 384 your Products directory either in INSTANCE_HOME/Products or the Zope | |
| 385 code tree lib/python/Products. | |
| 386 | |
| 387 When you next (re)start up Zope, you will be able to add a ZRoundup object | |
| 388 that interfaces to your new tracker. | |
| 389 | |

| 1228 | 399 There are three supported ways to get emailed issues into the |
| 400 Roundup tracker. You should pick ONE of the following, all | |
| 401 of which will continue my example setup from above: | |
| 402 | |
| 403 As a mail alias pipe process | |
| 404 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| 405 | |
| 406 Set up a mail alias called "issue_tracker" as (include the quote marks): | |
| 407 "``|/usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/roundup-mailgw <tracker_home>``" | |
| 408 | |
| 409 In some installations (e.g. RedHat 6.2 I think) you'll need to set up smrsh so | |
| 410 sendmail will accept the pipe command. In that case, symlink | |
| 411 ``/etc/smrsh/roundup-mailgw`` to "``/usr/local/bin/roundup-mailgw``" and change | |
| 412 the command to:: | |
| 413 | |
| 414 |roundup-mailgw /opt/roundup/trackers/support | |
| 415 | |
| 416 To test the mail gateway on unix systems, try:: | |
| 417 | |
| 418 echo test |mail -s '[issue] test' support@YOUR_DOMAIN_HERE | |
