    At the very beginning of installation of rocks-7.0, we must define a roll server. It's recommended to set up a local server to facilitate roll addition. There are some scripts to make this easy for non experts here. After doing steps 0, I and II, change your site configuration file (e.g /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf in ubuntu or mint) to be like this:
## Definitions for rocks-7-0.my.org (change according to your one)
###
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName rocks-7-0.my.org
</VirtualHost>

# allow all access to the rolls RPMS
<Directory /var/www/html/rocks/7.0/install/rolls>

        AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
        Options FollowSymLinks Indexes ExecCGI
        DirectoryIndex /rocks/7.0/install/rolls/index.cgi
        Allow from all
</Directory>
Then do
sudo a2enmod cgi
If your default python is not python 2, you need to install python 2 and edit the first line in the index.cgi to e.g
#!/usr/bin/env python2
and finally
sudo systemctl restart apache2.service
Check the server at http://127.0.0.1/rocks/7.0/install/rolls/.
