Trying to restart from scratch

Added by Wolfgang Engelen over 11 years ago

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anybody knows how to restart a DB from scratch after having played around with RM. It seems I can't really get my head around ActiveRecord... I have tried the following ideas:

- Drop the database: Yields problems to recreate as any rake db:.. task seems to be looking for redmine.users
- Using db:drop db:reset db:migrate generate_secret_token, seems to leave me with a clean DB but after runing redmine:load_default_data I don't have users available. (my best guess has been that ActiveRecord is playing tricks on me)
- I've also tried removing everything from the db folder, which then creates errors.

So I wonder, am I missing a step?

I figure I can just add the admin right into the users table, yet I leaves the question of whether all other things are being loaded or not.

I'm running on Windows 2008, MySQL 5.1, RM 2.1.2, Ruby193, RAils 3.2.8. I've also installed a number of plugins, and ran a db:plugins:migrate VERSION=0 on all of them, then ran a plain db:plugins:migrate.

I would appreciate any advice, I reckon this is probably better suited for a rails forum, yet having the RM context here helps, as the load_default_data is specific to it.

I apologize in advance for the noobie nature of my question.

Wolf

You should be able to just drop the database, re-create it and then rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production to initialize values...
