The command 

  rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV="production"

looks OK.

Then, I've tried:

root@serveur:~/redmine# cp -Rf * /var/www/redmine/
root@serveur:~/redmine# cd /var/www/redmine
root@serveur:/var/www/redmine# chown -R redmine:redmine files log tmp
root@serveur:/var/www/redmine# chmod -R 755 files log tmp
root@serveur:/var/www/redmine# rake tmp:cache:clear
(in /var/www/redmine)
root@serveur:/var/www/redmine# rake tmp:sessions:clear
(in /var/www/redmine)

but this didn't help.

Thank you very much Jean-Philippe, this did it.

But I wonder how to upgrade, then. My clone/checkout is not in my installation path. 'cp -fR' isn't the good way to update the destination files.
Does redmine provide a command to upgrade them ? I wasn't able to find it in the doc.

Thanks,

Copying files won't be able to get removed or renamed files. The best ways to upgrade is to:

  1. Use your checkout/clone as the installed Redmine (best option)
  2. Copy the checkout to a new directory and move specific files into the new directory as your installation

Both of these are described in the RedmineUpgrade (Step 3).

I wrongly thought that unneeded files would have been ignored without causing breakages.

Thank you Eric. I did the first option before reporting bug http://www.redmine.org/issues/4503 .

#5 Updated by Jack S. over 2 years ago

I got the same error. I did download redmine from sourceforge and made a new installation. Every thing works fine, until i started mongrel_cluster.

For me this hint did work

http://old.nabble.com/Problem-when-migrating-from-rails-2.2.2-to-rails-2.3.2-on-linux--SLES10-%2B-apache-2-td22961256.html

It seems like a mongrel_cluster issue, isn't it?

I made a find-grep for AbstractRequest

find . -name *.rb -exec grep -l AbstractRequest {} \;

./vendor/plugins/open_id_authentication/lib/open_id_authentication/request.rb
./vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_controller/test_process.rb
./lib/redmine/utils.rb

Is it ok, that AbstractRequest is used still?

#6 Updated by Andrew R Jackson over 2 years ago

I also had this error for a fresh install of redmine 0.9.1.

The link Jack mentioned also solved the problem for me: add the abstract_request.rb within config/initializers/ with appropriate and minimal code.

0.9.1 worked after that.
