Please help RoR newbie install Redmine through cPanel

Added by George Crawford almost 16 years ago

Hi,

I must apologise for this desperate plea, but I have been trying to install Redmine all day, and I really need some help. I have set up Ruby and RoR in cPanel, and started to follow the Redmine installation instructions. The first error came when running the "rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV="production"" command, and was as follows:

rake aborted!
undefined method `include_root_in_json=' for ActiveRecord::Base:Class

I found (remember, I am a 100% Ruby newbie) that commenting out the 4 lines in redmine/config/initializers/new_rails_defaults.rb allowed me to proceed. I don't know why the error occurred, and I wouldn't be suprised if my modification renders the whole app useless, but I persisted nevertheless.

Thereafter, the "rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV="production"" was successful, as was "rake redmine:load_default_data RAILS_ENV="production"". I can confirm the MySQL tables and contents were created.

Now I'm stuck. I've tried running "ruby script/server -e production", and I get:

=> Booting Mongrel (use 'script/server webrick' to force WEBrick)
=> Rails application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:3000
Starting Rails with production environment...
Rails loaded.
Loading any Rails specific GemPlugins
Signals ready.

When I visit domain.com:3000, I get a RoR welcome. However, the "About your application’s environment" link gives a "500 Internal Server Error", and the URL domain.com:3000/redmine is unknown.

Sorry again for the helpless plea, but can anyone offer me some assistance?

Many thanks!

Since it's fully cPanel related, you should search help by them.

Is there some way you could check the logs? 500s usually output decent information. Look in both the redmine log folder and apache's logs.

Also what versions of redmine and rails are you using? It looks like include_root_in_json might have come from redmine's trunk, since I don't have it in my distro. That method doesn't appear in rails till 2.1. So I'm guessing your just have a mismatch between rails and redmine here.

Thanks - I got this sorted by uninstalling Rails 2.1.0 and installing 2.0.2 instead
