Trouble for adding new themes in redmine 0.8.3

Hi,
I added new themes: Basecamp, Squeejee, and Watersky in the directory public/themes as described on the wiki page http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/Themes , http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/HowTo_create_a_custom_Redmine_theme

I restarted the application with following commands:
1. rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV="production"
2. ruby script/server webrick -e production

But when I go to “Administration“ -> “Settings“, I don’t see the newly added themes in the drop-down list. Redmine doesn’t display the added themes. Why?

Thanks
PS: I use redmine 0.8.3

The command under 1 has nothing todo with restarting Redmine. It migrates your DB-scheme to the latest version.
Which web-server do you utilize within you Redmine deployment? Do you use Apache? Or do you always use WEBrick?

I guess that you've deployed Redmine using a web-server other than WEBrick. With the command you gave above under number 2 you start (not restart) a new WEBrick-server which serves another Redmine-instance (most likely using another URL/port). You look for the new themes within your Redmine deployment (over ngix, apache, mongrel etc.) but this server has not been restarted after the executed command under 2.

HTH and let me know if this does not solve your issue.

Kind regards,
