NAME

       roundup-server - start roundup web server

SYNOPSIS

       roundup-server [options] [name=tracker home]*

OPTIONS

       -C file
              Use options read from the configuration file (see below).

       -n hostname
              Sets the host name in the Roundup web server interface.

       -p port
              Sets the port to listen on (default: 8080).

       -d file
              Daemonize, and write the server's PID to the nominated file.

       -l file
              Sets  a filename to log to (instead of stdout). This is required
              if the -d option is used.

       -i file
              Sets a filename to use as a template for generating the  tracker
              index  page.   The  variable  "trackers"  is  available  to  the
              template and is a dict of all configured trackers.

       -s     Enables to use of SSL.

       -e file
              Sets a filename containing the PEM file to use for SSL. If  left
              blank, a temporary self-signed certificate will be used.

       -N     Log  client machine names instead of IP addresses (much slower).

       -u UID Runs the Roundup web server as this UID.

       -g GID Runs the Roundup web server as this GID.

       -d PIDfile
              Run the server in the background and write the server's  PID  to
              the  file  indicated by PIDfile. The -l option must be specified
              if -d is used.

       -v     Print version and exit.

       -h     Print help and exit.

       name=tracker home
              Sets the tracker home(s) to use. The name variable  is  how  the
              tracker is identified in the URL (it's the first part of the URL
              path). The tracker home  variable  is  the  directory  that  was
              identified  when  you  did "roundup-admin init". You may specify
              any number of these name=home pairs  on  the  command-line.  For
              convenience,  you  may  edit  the  TRACKER_HOMES variable in the
              roundup-server file instead.  Make sure the  name  part  doesn't
              include  any url-unsafe characters like spaces, as these confuse
              the cookie handling in browsers like IE.

EXAMPLES

       roundup-server -p 9000 bugs=/var/tracker reqs=/home/roundup/group1
              Start the server on port 9000 serving two  trackers;  one  under
              /bugs and one under /reqs.

       See the "admin_guide" in the Roundup "doc" directory.
