@@ -45,285 +45,285 @@ You are ready to use rhodecode, to run i
 
  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
 
  
 
Using RhodeCode with SSH
 
------------------------
 

	
 
RhodeCode repository structures are kept in directories with the same name 
 
as the project, when using repository groups, each group is a a subdirectory.
 
This will allow You to use ssh for accessing repositories quite easy. There
 
are some exceptions when using ssh for accessing repositories.
 

	
 
You have to make sure that the webserver as well as the ssh users have unix
 
permission for directories. Secondly when using ssh rhodecode will not 
 
authenticate those requests and permissions set by the web interface will not
 
work on the repositories accessed via ssh. There is a solution to this to use 
 
auth hooks, that connects to rhodecode db, and runs check functions for
 
permissions.
 

	
 
TODO: post more info on this !
 

	
 
if Your main directory (the same as set in RhodeCode settings) is set to
 
for example `\home\hg` and repository You are using is `rhodecode`
 

	
 
The command runned should look like this::
 
 hg clone ssh://user@server.com/home/hg/rhodecode
 
 
 
Using external tools such as mercurial server or using ssh key based auth is
 
fully supported.
 
    
 
Setting up Whoosh full text search
 
----------------------------------
 

	
 
Starting from version 1.1 whoosh index can be build using paster command.
 
You have to specify the config file that stores location of index, and
 
location of repositories (`--repo-location`). Starting from version 1.2 it is 
 
also possible to specify a comma separated list of repositories (`--index-only`)
 
to build index only on chooses repositories skipping any other found in repos
 
location
 

	
 
There is possible also to pass `-f` to the options
 
to enable full index rebuild. Without that indexing will run always in in
 
incremental mode.
 

	
 
incremental mode::
 

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

	
 

	
 

	
 
for full index rebuild You can use::
 

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

	
 

	
 
building index just for chosen repositories is possible with such command::
 
 
 
 paster make-index production.ini --repo-location=<location for repos> --index-only=vcs,rhodecode
 

	
 

	
 
In order to do periodical index builds and keep Your index always up to date.
 
It's recommended to do a crontab entry for incremental indexing. 
 
An example entry might look like this
 

	
 
::
 
 
 
 /path/to/python/bin/paster /path/to/rhodecode/production.ini --repo-location=<location for repos> 
 
  
 
When using incremental (default) mode whoosh will check last modification date 
 
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
 

	
 
If all data are entered correctly, and `python-ldap` is properly installed
 
Users should be granted to access RhodeCode wit ldap accounts. When 
 
logging at the first time an special ldap account is created inside RhodeCode, 
 
so You can control over permissions even on ldap users. If such user exists 
 
already in RhodeCode database ldap user with the same username would be not 
 
able to access RhodeCode.
 

	
 
If You have problems with ldap access and believe You entered correct 
 
information check out the RhodeCode logs,any error messages sent from 
 
ldap will be saved there.
 

	
 

	
 

	
 
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 uses 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 make start using celery run::
 

	
 
 paster celeryd <configfile.ini>
 

	
 

	
 

	
 
.. note::
 
   Make sure You run this command from same virtualenv, and with the same user
 
   that rhodecode runs.
 

	
 

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

	
 
Sample config for nginx using proxy::
 

	
 
 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;
 
            }
 
            #this is important if You want to use https !!!
 
            proxy_set_header X-Url-Scheme $scheme;
 
            include         /etc/nginx/proxy.conf;  
 
    }
 
 }  
 
  
 
Here's the proxy.conf. It's tuned so it'll not timeout on long
 
pushes and also on large pushes::
 

	
 
    proxy_redirect              off;
 
    proxy_set_header            Host $host;
 
    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       3600;
 
    proxy_send_timeout          3600;
 
    proxy_read_timeout          3600;
 
    proxy_buffer_size           8k;
 
    proxy_buffers               8 32k;
 
    proxy_buffer_size           16k;
 
    proxy_buffers               4 16k;
 
    proxy_busy_buffers_size     64k;
 
    proxy_temp_file_write_size  64k;
 
 
 
Also when using root path with nginx You might set the static files to false
 
in production.ini file::
 

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

	
 
To not have the statics served by the application. And improve speed.
 

	
 

	
 
Apache virtual host example
 
---------------------------
 

	
 
Sample config 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
 
            #SetEnvIf X-Url-Scheme https HTTPS=1
 
            
 
    </VirtualHost>

Apache's example FCGI config
 
----------------------------
 

	
 
TODO !
 

	
 
Other configuration files
 
-------------------------
 

	
 
Some example init.d script can be found here, for debian and gentoo:

Troubleshooting
 
---------------
 

	
 
- missing static files ?
 

	
 
 - make sure either to set the `static_files = true` in the .ini file or
 
   double check the root path for Your http setup. It should point to 
 
   for example:
 
   /home/my-virtual-python/lib/python2.6/site-packages/rhodecode/public
 
   
 
- can't install celery/rabbitmq
 

	
 
 - don't worry RhodeCode works without them too. No extra setup required
 

	
 
- long lasting push timeouts ?
 

	
 
 - make sure You set a longer timeouts in Your proxy/fcgi settings, timeouts
 
   are caused by https server and not RhodeCode
 

	
 
- large pushes timeouts ?
 
 
 
 - make sure You set a proper max_body_size for the http server
