Redmine

Very nice document! Imo it would be better to supply a pdf document however.

Hello,

I wrote a documentation about my last installation of Redmine on a Debian server - for a production environment - because I think this is the missing intelligence in the official documentation.

Feel free to use it in the wiki or simply as a starting point for your own installation.

François.

François,

I follow your guide for Debian and don´t work. My browser receive list file in /usr/local/lib/redmine-0.8/public.
Any idea ???

If you see the files, maybe the mod_passenger doesn't work or be activated.
To check this, you need to activate the mod_info.

For this:
cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
ln -s ../mods-available/info.load
ln -s ../mods-available/info.conf

Now, if you make your tests from an other computer, you need to edit the info.conf file and add a line like this one to allow the connection from this computer:
Allow from 192.168.2.2 (with the IP address of the computer)

Then reload apache (/etc/init.d/apache2 reload) and use your browser to go to the url /server-info on your server.

You will see the mods loaded on your server: is mod_passenger visible? is its configuration correct?

Here's a pdf version

Thank you Gordon for the PDF version!

I have updated my installation guide to integrate Subversion.
Here is the result (in both docx and pdf this time :)

François,

I had the same problem. The passenger module is on, but the problem persist.

Any idea?

Thank You!!!

Hello,

First of all you can check the "/var/log/apache2/errors.log" log file of apache. He will contain the passenger errors.

But I'm quite sure that the error came from my doc. In fact, it contains an error on pages 5 and 8.

Use

PassengerRoot /usr/local/lib/passenger

PassengerRoot /usr/local/lib/passenger-2.2.1

I hope this help :)

François,

I followed your guide again, and now works fine! I must have done something wrong in first time.

Thank you again!

You're welcome !

There is now a package for redmine in debian/sid.
It will go to testing, then i hope backports too, in a few weeks.

I followed the instructions on a testserver (Debian under Virtualbox), and all went well. Now, on a physical server I got stuck on the passenger part. When running "./passenger-install-apache2-module", the process says that "rack" could not be found. I installed rack with the following command: "/usr/bin/gem install rack", and installation went fine. When I run the passenger command again, it still can't find the rack software. Anyone with an idea/solution?

It looks like the passenger version has changed and "rack" is now required but doesn't install properly. To use the version of passenger that is listed in the instructions I replaced:
gem install passenger
with
gem install passenger -v=2.2.1

Thanks Chris, that solved it! I used "gem install passenger -v=2.2.5".

I get this error, when installing rails.

projects:~# aptitude install ruby rake rubygems
projects:~# aptitude install libmysql-ruby libopenssl-ruby
projects:~# gem install rails –v=2.1.2
ERROR:  Error installing rails:
        actionpack requires rack (~> 1.0.0, runtime)
ERROR:  could not find gem –v=2.1.2 locally or in a repository

rails package is in debian,
in stable : rails 2.1.0
in testing/unstable : rails 2.2.3

aptitude install rails

!
Also be aware that redmine 0.9.0 is (the release candidate) is going to be uploaded
in debian/unstable very soon. It'll be rails 2.2.3 compatible, and using backports,
will be also available on stable.
Regards,
Jérémy.
