[Tracker-discuss] Roundup installed

[Roché Compaan]

Izak has completed the installation of Apache, Postfix and Roundup.

It is running at http://psf.upfronthosting.co.za/roundup/meta/ and you
should be able to register as a user.

Submitting issues via the web doesn't work at the moment due to a
permission error. This reminded me why we prefer using the roundup
server - it can run as the roundup user and it saves you the hassle of
permissions dances with Apache. Mail delivery works fine.

mod_python scripts should also be executing as the roundup user but the
SuexecUserGroup directive is ignored at the moment (most probably
because of restrictive compile options that we are violating). We need
to checkout the debian compile options for Apache.

Changing the group of the "db/files" directory to www-data and setting
the sticky bit doesn't solve the problem either, although this is a path
to be avoided

If anybody else wants to debug this or offer advise they are welcome.

As far as responsibilities on the server goes, my feeling is that we can
all help. It is probably simpler if we (Upfront Systems) look after the
maintenance and security of the server and the rest of the
administrators look at roundup. We would like to help with Roundup as
far as we can though. We can coordinate the effort using a tracker but
let's spell this out in another thread.

Any questions about the current setup are welcome.
