5. Start the installation:

Rb-site install/var/www/reviews.example.com

In this middle to do a few options, according to your previous choice to fill, relatively simple, pay attention to look at the fill is good (domainname own test directly fill in the native IP).

And then you have to follow the prompts to configure (actually to chown than the following two more, see the final completion of the hint to add two additional):

Then open the browser, enter the previous domainname IP, you should be able to open the Reviewboard Web page, use the Administrator account password you entered in step 5 to log in.

Add your code repository in the configuration (you will be prompted to go to the Code warehouse and add a. reviewboardrc file, the contents of the file are also in Setup), create a code review group, add a new user, and include a code review email notification.

　

7. This time should not RBT this tool, still go to the Reviewboard website to download, should have provided the code warehouse can be directly downloaded:

Because just a person to try, if the company used, it is recommended to access LDAP, and then make a LAN normal domainname, perfect, the company should have its own special mailbox.
