Default storage locations

Added by Christoph Schmidt over 10 years ago

Hi *,

I just finished installing Redmine 1.4.4 on Linux (using SQLite) and I'm wondering where the default storage locations for attachments and the SQLite database are.

The documentation mentions several times that files are stored in a folder "files", but I can find three in my installation: "app/views/files", "public/images/files" and "test/fixtures/files".

Concerning the SQLite database I found nothing.

Thanks in advance!

I think I found the database in '/var/lib/dbconfig-common/sqlite3/redmine/instances/default/redmine_default'.

Default file storage location is still unclear. If I upload a file, it just disappeares, i.e. it doesn't appear in the file list, but I also don't receive an error message.

In case someone is interested: "/var/lib/redmine/default/files"

Hi Christoph,

first of all, version 1.4.4 is so old, that we no longer support it. Upgrade or install a recent version if you can.
Installation is quite easy even if you don't use .rpm or .deb, read this gude (even available in German).

The locations and paths vary among the distributions, IIRC Debian uses other paths than RedHat..,

Hi Jan,

thanks for your answer.

I installed Redmine from the repositories of Debian Wheezy. It's for personal use, but nevertheless I wanted to back it up. If I got it correctly, I only need to backup the "files" folder, the database and the "config" folder (in "/usr/share/redmine/config" on my box).

Concerning upgrade to the latest and greatest: Is there a repository for Debian? I found a PPA for Ubuntu with the latest version, but I don't know if this will do on Debian?

Thanks a lot,
Christoph

Unfortunately, there's no repository I know of - but installing from source is not really difficult...
This guide can help you (and it's even available in German)..
