Upgrade Review Board

Use these instructions to upgrade Review Board to a latest build.

Do this on the main TeamForge Application Server. We'll call this my.app.box.

1. Download the Review Board installer zip file from http://collab.net/downloads/integrations#tab-1 and save it in the /opt/collabnet folder
   
2. New hardware upgrade: Back up your Review Board data directory if you are upgrading TeamForge and Review Board on a new server.
   Tip: The Review Board database is backed up already when you have upgraded TeamForge. So, it is not necessary to take a back up of the Review Board database again.
   1. Back up the Review Board data directory.
      • cd /opt/collabnet
      • tar -zcvf /tmp/reviewboard_data.tgz reviewboard
   2. Copy the /tmp/reviewboard_data.tgz file to the /tmp directory of the new server.
3. Unzip the RBInstaller-1.9.3.zip file.
   • cd /opt/collabnet
   • unzip RBInstaller-1.9.3.zip
4. Modify these values in the install.conf file to suit your installation environment.
   • vi /opt/collabnet/RBInstaller-1.9.3/installer/install.conf

5. Start the TeamForge application.

   • grep HTTPD_USER= /opt/collabnet/teamforge/runtime/conf/runtime-options.conf
   • grep HTTPD_GROUP= /opt/collabnet/teamforge/runtime/conf/runtime-options.conf
   • grep HOME_DIR_BASE= /opt/collabnet/teamforge/runtime/conf/runtime-options.conf
   • sudo chown -R <HTTPD_USER>:<HTTPD_GROUP> <HOME_DIR_BASE>/<HTTPD_USER>
7. New hardware upgrade: Restore the Review Board data if you are upgrading TeamForge and Review Board on a new server.
   Note: Ensure that you have already copied the backup of the Review Board data directory to the /tmp directory of the new server.
   1. Restore the Review Board data directory.
      • cd /opt/collabnet
      • tar -zxvf /tmp/reviewboard_data.tgz
8. Run the install.py script available in the Review Board installer directory.

10. Restart the TeamForge application.
    • /etc/init.d/collabnet stop all
    • /etc/init.d/collabnet start all
11. If SCM is installed on a separate box, run the following script to authenticate a scmviewer user against a TeamForge Subversion repository for creating a new review request.
    • python ./svn-auth.py --repo-path=https://<scm_domain>/svn/repos/<repo_dir_name>
