ROUNDUP-SERVER(1)					      General Commands Manual						 ROUNDUP-SERVER(1)

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.

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