Redmine

I consult the logfile:

Hi,

can you change truncate function by this in vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/text_helper.rb
this code is the truncate function on rails 1.1.6 debian package source.

def truncate(text, length = 30, truncate_string = "...")
        if text.nil? then return end
        l = length - truncate_string.length
        if $KCODE == "NONE" 
          text.length > length ? text[0...l] + truncate_string : text
        else
          chars = text.split(//)
          chars.length > length ? chars[0...l].join + truncate_string : text
        end
      end

best regards.

$ ruby script/about

Thanks to both of you for your replies :)

@Gwenael Pellen:
Your code snippet makes redmine working again, thanks!

@Thomas Lecavelier:
Everything alright with the files, no conflicts.
For "ruby script/about" I had to create a development-database configuration. Here's the output:

$ ruby script/about 
About your application's environment
Ruby version              1.8.7 (x86_64-linux)
RubyGems version          1.1.1
Rails version             2.0.2
Active Record version     2.0.2
Action Pack version       2.0.2
Active Resource version   2.0.2
Action Mailer version     2.0.2
Active Support version    2.0.2
Edge Rails revision       rel_2-0-2
Application root          /var/www/redmine
Environment               development
Database adapter          mysql
Database schema version   92

To clear thinks up:
For the "undefined method 'length'" failure ruby 1.8.7 is to blame. I completly overlooked the upgrade of ruby from 1.8.6 to 1.8.7 on my system..
But with Gwenael Pellen's solution, redmine now works even with ruby 1.8.7! :)

Also see #1457

FYI, you can use the RAILS_ENV env variable to see your production config:

$ ruby script/about RAILS_ENV=production

Unfortunately not :/

ruby script/about RAILS_ENV=production
/var/www/redmine/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/connection_specification.rb:217:in `establish_connection': development database is not configured (ActiveRecord::AdapterNotSpecified)

I'm trying to install Redmine (to be honest, this is my first rails app ever) and I'm getting Internal Server Errors as well. Any help would be AWESOME. I've searched the forums and found other errors, but nothing that seems to change my case.

Here's my info:

ruby script/about:
About your application's environment
Ruby version 1.8.7 (i686-linux)
RubyGems version 1.1.1
Rails version 2.0.2

Action Mailer version 2.0.2
Active Support version 2.0.2
Application root /var/www/redmine
Environment development

Next time, please open a new thread.

Start by trying with mongrel:

sudo gem install mongrel

It's transparent for you (you can run ruby script/server without any change) and could work better.

I installed mongrel and I'm having the same issues. I've started a new thread here:
http://www.redmine.org/boards/2/topics/show/1381

Thanks for the help Thomas, previously and any additional advice you might have.

Hello!
I'm new here. I've been browsing tons of forums for an idea of what to do. I was laid off from my job about 3 month ago. I've been looking for a job since then, but did not even get a single interview. I worked as a web designer for a publishing company for the last 5 years. Looks like www.redmine.org is an active forum with active members and may be someone has some experience working as a freelance web designer. May be this category is not the most appropriate for this question, but I want to try anyways to get some opinions before I go ahead with my life. I'm wondering if it is possible in the current economy to find work for a freelance web designer and make enough to pay for rent and groceries. I was able to find a small project on craigslist and I developed a website for a company. It was a small project and took me only a week to complete. I got paid $800 for 1 week of work which is not bad. Please people give me some ideas. I have 2 kids and my wife is out of work as well. Thank you in advance.

off the bat i simply really want to show my thanks to whoever runs this page...
Ive just been through a tough time and hanging out here has kept me sane...
everything is alright now, ive started do under writing for a broker selling <a href=http://minimedical.net><font color=black>individual health insurance</font></a> policies, and it is great...

muchas gracias every one...
