[Buildbot-devel] How to integrate Buildbot Status server on an existing server?

[shiny knight]

Thanks all! I was able finally to set it up as Pierre mentioned; which is the same method that you use, Vasily (I assume...I have no clue of what nginx is).

I did a reverse proxy, creating a site on OSX server app, on 443, using my IP address; then I modified the conf file that was created in the server folder, and added the redirect to the port of the buildbot.

This works awesome with the bot pages; but I have no way to add new pages now.

Basically, if I want to add a new page to the home; and I link to it; the page won't be loaded, either if I put it where the root page is (which is in the web/template folder in Library/python.....buildbot), nor in the site folder where OSX Server created the folder for the html files.

I have no clue why is happening; I would assume that the buildbot status server root is where the root and the other web pages are, but it seems that is not true at all.

Tried to make a test page, with a simple line or 2 of text, within the { %block content % } and { % end block %}, and place it in the web/template, where waterfall and all the other pages are, but I get always the error page that says "No such resource - File not found". Not sure how to troubleshoot this, since I never wrote a web site from scratch; just used stuff like dreamweaver to make a site and customize it.

Tried also to copy and paste the href used in the layout.html file, but no luck:

<a href="{{ path_to_root }}test">Test</a>

All the other links works fine; for some reasons, the bot does not see any page other than the ones that are added in the layout page. If I modify any of these pages (waterfall, grid, and so on), it works fine; but I need to add more pages, not just modify the ones added by the Buildbot by default.

Any suggestion?
