@@ -432,117 +432,126 @@ Hook management
 

	
 
Hooks can be managed in similar way to this used in .hgrc files.
 
To access hooks setting click `advanced setup` on Hooks section of Mercurial
 
Settings in Admin. 
 

	
 
There are 4 built in hooks that cannot be changed (only enable/disable by
 
checkboxes on previos section).
 
To add another custom hook simply fill in first section with 
 
<name>.<hook_type> and the second one with hook path. Example hooks
 
can be found at *rhodecode.lib.hooks*. 
 

	
 

	
 
Setting Up Celery
 
-----------------
 

	
 
Since version 1.1 celery is configured by the rhodecode ini configuration files.
 
Simply set use_celery=true in the ini file then add / change the configuration 
 
variables inside the ini file.
 

	
 
Remember that the ini files use the format with '.' not with '_' like celery.
 
So for example setting `BROKER_HOST` in celery means setting `broker.host` in
 
the config file.
 

	
 
In order to start using celery run::
 

	
 
 paster celeryd <configfile.ini>
 

	
 

	
 
.. note::
 
   Make sure you run this command from the same virtualenv, and with the same 
 
   user that rhodecode runs.
 
   
 
HTTPS support
 
-------------
 

	
 
There are two ways to enable https:
 

	
 
- Set HTTP_X_URL_SCHEME in your http server headers, than rhodecode will
 
  recognize this headers and make proper https redirections
 
- Alternatively, change the `force_https = true` flag in the ini configuration 
 
  to force using https, no headers are needed than to enable https
 

	
 

	
 
Nginx virtual host example
 
--------------------------
 

	
 
Sample config for nginx using proxy::
 

	
 
    upstream rc {
 
        server 127.0.0.1:5000;
 
        # add more instances for load balancing
 
        #server 127.0.0.1:5001;
 
        #server 127.0.0.1:5002;
 
    }
 
    
 
    server {
 
       listen          80;
 
       server_name     hg.myserver.com;
 
       access_log      /var/log/nginx/rhodecode.access.log;
 
       error_log       /var/log/nginx/rhodecode.error.log;
 

	
 
       location / {
 
               root /var/www/rhodecode/rhodecode/public/;
 
               if (!-f $request_filename){
 
                   proxy_pass      http://127.0.0.1:5000;
 
            try_files $uri @rhode;
 
               }
 
               #this is important if you want to use https !!!
 
               proxy_set_header X-Url-Scheme $scheme;
 
    
 
       location @rhode {
 
            proxy_pass      http://rc;
 
               include         /etc/nginx/proxy.conf;  
 
       }
 

	
 
    }  
 
  
 
Here's the proxy.conf. It's tuned so it will not timeout on long
 
pushes or large pushes::
 

	
 
    proxy_redirect              off;
 
    proxy_set_header            Host $host;
 
    proxy_set_header            X-Url-Scheme $scheme;
 
    proxy_set_header            X-Host $http_host;
 
    proxy_set_header            X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
 
    proxy_set_header            X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
 
    proxy_set_header            Proxy-host $proxy_host;
 
    client_max_body_size        400m;
 
    client_body_buffer_size     128k;
 
    proxy_buffering             off;
 
    proxy_connect_timeout       7200;
 
    proxy_send_timeout          7200;
 
    proxy_read_timeout          7200;
 
    proxy_buffers               8 32k;
 
 
 
Also, when using root path with nginx you might set the static files to false
 
in the production.ini file::
 

	
 
    [app:main]
 
      use = egg:rhodecode
 
      full_stack = true
 
      static_files = false
 
      lang=en
 
      cache_dir = %(here)s/data
 

	
 
In order to not have the statics served by the application. This improves speed.
 

	
 

	
 
Apache virtual host reverse proxy example
 
-----------------------------------------
 

	
 
Here is a sample configuration file for apache using proxy::
 

	
 
    <VirtualHost *:80>
 
            ServerName hg.myserver.com
 
            ServerAlias hg.myserver.com
 
    
 
            <Proxy *>
 
              Order allow,deny
 
              Allow from all
 
            </Proxy>
 
    
 
            #important !
 
            #Directive to properly generate url (clone url) for pylons
 
            ProxyPreserveHost On
 
    
 
            #rhodecode instance
 
            ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:5000/
 
            ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:5000/
 
            
 
            #to enable https use line below
