installed and used. You will need to run the "roundup-admin reindex"
command if the tracker has existing data.
- Roundup requires Xapian *newer* than 0.9.2 - it may be necessary for
- you to install a snapshot. Snapshot "0.9.2_svn6532" has been tried
- successfully.
+ Roundup requires Xapian 1.0.0 or newer.

If pyopenssl_ is installed the roundup-server can be configured
configured, you can require email to be cryptographically signed
before roundup will allow it to make modifications to issues.

Once this is done, the tracker has been created.
There are five web interfaces to choose from:
1. `web server cgi-bin`_
-2. `stand-alone web server`_
-3. `Zope product - ZRoundup`_
-4. `Apache HTTP Server with mod_python`_

You may need to give the web server user permission to access the tracker home

+CGI-bin for Limited-Access Hosting
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If you are running in a shared-hosting environment or otherwise don't have
+permissiong to edit the system web server's configuration, but can create a
+``.htaccess`` file then you may be able to use this approach.
+
+1. Install flup_
+2. Create a script ``roundup_stub`` in your server's ``cgi-bin`` directory
+ containing::
+
+ #!/usr/bin/env python
+
+ # if necessary modify the Python path to include the place you
+ # installed Roundup
+ #import sys
+ #sys.path.append('...')
+
+ # cgitb is needed for debugging in browser only
+ #import cgitb
+ #cgitb.enable()
+
+ # obtain the WSGI request dispatcher
+ from roundup.cgi.wsgi_handler import RequestDispatcher
+ tracker_home = '/path/to/tracker/home'
+ app = RequestDispatcher(tracker_home)
+
+ from flup.server.cgi import WSGIServer
+ WSGIServer(app).run()
+
+3. Modify or created the ``.htaccess`` file in the desired (sub-)domain
+ directory to contain::
+
+ RewriteEngine On
+ RewriteBase /
+ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /cgi-bin/roundup_stub/$1 [L]
+
+Now loading the (sub-)domain in a browser should load the tracker web
+interface. If you get a "500" error then enable the "cgitb" lines in the
+stub to get some debugging information.
