Stuck on Ubuntu 11.10, want to use latest Redmine?

Added by Franz V almost 12 years ago

Hey guys,

My VPS can't go any higher then Ubuntu 11.10 at the moment. The launchpad has Redmine 1.3.x I believe. I'm trying to use this tutorial here: http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineUpgrade

Using svn update gets me a "skipped '.'" so That didn't work. So I'm going through Option 1: Download Release. The problem is that in Step 2 it says:

"copy your database settings-file config/database.yml into the new config directory."

Problem is that I don't see such a file in /usr/share/redmine/config/

Is it somewhere else? Or if anyone can guide me to an easy tutorial to get 2.3.1 or even a 2.x release on Ubuntu 11.10, I would much appreciate it.

Are you looking to do a fresh installation or upgrade/port your existing configuration?

Very sorry for the late reply

I don't have a redmine database I wish to keep. So a fresh install is ok by me. But if I have to install an earlier version that comes in launchpad and then upgrade, that would be fine too.

As long as the end result is getting a newer version of Redmine (2.3.x) on Ubuntu 11.10, that would be ideal.

I might switch my VPS provider to someone who at least offers 12.04, but I was wondering if this could be done easily on 11.10 as well.

I have a few Redmine installations running on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, but I still have one running on Ubuntu 11.10 without any problems (aside from the fact that it's no longer receiving OS security updates). It's an internal box, so while I do want to upgrade it, it's not high on my priority list.

Those run Apache & Phusion Passenger + latest stable Redmine (2.3.2 as of this writing). I also have another box that runs nginx + Phusion Passenger. What is your desired setup?

Hi Franz, if you would like to do a fresh install, check out my Guide (English or Deutsch), it's for Debian, but applies to Ubuntu as well.
