First You'll ned to create RhodeCode config file. Run the following command 

to do this

::

 paster make-config RhodeCode production.ini

- This will create `production.ini` config inside the directory

  this config contains various settings for RhodeCode, e.g proxy port, 

  email settings, usage of static files, cache, celery settings and logging.

Next we need to create the database.

::

 paster setup-app production.ini

- This command will create all needed tables and an admin account. 

  When asked for a path You can either use a new location of one with already 

  existing ones. RhodeCode will simply add all new found repositories to 

  it's database. Also make sure You specify correct path to repositories.

- Remember that the given path for mercurial_ repositories must be write 

  accessible for the application. It's very important since RhodeCode web 

  interface will work even without such an access but, when trying to do a 

  push it'll eventually fail with permission denied errors. 

You are ready to use rhodecode, to run it simply execute

::

 paster serve production.ini

- This command runs the RhodeCode server the app should be available at the 

  127.0.0.1:5000. This ip and port is configurable via the production.ini 

  file created in previous step

- Use admin account you created to login.

- Default permissions on each repository is read, and owner is admin. So 

  remember to update these if needed. In the admin panel You can toggle ldap,

  anonymous, permissions settings. As well as edit more advanced options on 

  users and repositories

Setting up Whoosh full text search

----------------------------------

to enable full index rebuild. Without that indexing will run always in in

incremental mode.

 paster make-index production.ini --repo-location=<location for repos> 

 paster make-index production.ini -f --repo-location=<location for repos>

::

 /path/to/python/bin/paster /path/to/rhodecode/production.ini --repo-location=<location for repos> 

of each file and add it to reindex if newer file is available. Also indexing 

daemon checks for removed files and removes them from index. 

Sometime You might want to rebuild index from scratch. You can do that using 

the `-f` flag passed to paster command or, in admin panel You can check 

`build from scratch` flag.

Setting up LDAP support

-----------------------

RhodeCode starting from version 1.1 supports ldap authentication. In order

to use ldap, You have to install python-ldap package. This package is available

via pypi, so You can install it by running

::

 easy_install python-ldap

::

 pip install python-ldap

.. note::

   python-ldap requires some certain libs on Your system, so before installing 

   it check that You have at least `openldap`, and `sasl` libraries.

ldap settings are located in admin->ldap section,

Here's a typical ldap setup::

 Enable ldap  = checked                 #controls if ldap access is enabled

 Host         = host.domain.org         #actual ldap server to connect

 Port         = 389 or 689 for ldaps    #ldap server ports

 Enable LDAPS = unchecked               #enable disable ldaps

 Account      = <account>               #access for ldap server(if required)

 Password     = <password>              #password for ldap server(if required)

 Base DN      = uid=%(user)s,CN=users,DC=host,DC=domain,DC=org

`Account` and `Password` are optional, and used for two-phase ldap 

authentication so those are credentials to access Your ldap, if it doesn't 

support anonymous search/user lookups. 

Base DN must have %(user)s template inside, it's a placer where Your uid used

to login would go, it allows admins to specify not standard schema for uid 

variable
