Hi Bill,

sorry for the late answer. Sunny weekend here in Belgium and with all 
the rain, one has to take advantage of that :)

I followed directions from the website:
http://roundup.sourceforge.net/doc-0.8/installation.html

First i made directory for my trackers and then did
"python roundup_admin.py install"

In the tracker home that you specified when issueing the previous 
command, you should find a config.ini file there.

There you should adjust the vars. These are the ones that i changed:
admin_email
dispatcher_email
email

and web = http://localhost:8090/bugs/

Then do a "python roundup_admin.py initialise"

Edit the roundup_server.py file to change the port and then run the 
server or start the server like this:
    roundup_server.py -p 8090 support=/var/lib/roundup/trackers/bugs

Use -d to run the server in the background

Test with http://localhost:<port>/support

For ease of use i hide roundup behind apache.
Make sure the proxy module is loaded

LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so

Add this to the httpd.conf file. For instance, in a virtual host setting:
    # roundup stuff (added manually)
    <IfModule mod_proxy.c>
        ProxyRequests On
        RewriteEngine On

        # General Roundup
        RewriteRule ^/Roundup$  Roundup/    [R]
        RewriteRule ^/Roundup/(.*)$ http://hostname:8090/$1   [P,L]

        # Handle Foo Issues
        RewriteRule ^/bugs$  bugs/    [R]
        RewriteRule ^/bugs/(.*)$ http://hostname:8090/bugs/$1 [P,L]
    </IfModule>

Test this by going to http://hostname/bugs/

Now you an adjust the link people will get when they register.
Edit config.ini and change:
    web = http://hostname/bugs/

That's about all i can think off.

Regards,
Benedict
