Home does not work, other links work fine

Added by Viktor Kostadinov almost 10 years ago

Hi guys,
I've recently updated my server to Ubuntu 16.04 and I'm experiencing problems with Redmine install. It's working just fine if I access it via any link like
http://support.blahblah.com/settings
http://support.blahblah.com/issues/173
But if I try to go to home
http://support.blahblah.com
I just get a list of files in /public directory. I've tried updating to latest 3.0 version, then I installed fresh 3.2 into a new dir, but I still get the same behaviour - all links work EXCEPT /. I'm totally confused ;)

I'm running:
Ubuntu 16.04
Apache 2.4.18
Phusion Passenger 5.0.8
Redmine v3.2.2
Ruby 2.2.2
Rails 4.2.5.2

Been checking virtual hosts setup many times, but I can't find anything wrong - though I assume the problem is hidden in Apache config. Therefore, I'll paste my VirtualConf here

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName support.blahblah.com
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/redmine32/public
    RailsEnv production

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/support_error.log
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/support_access.log combined

        <Directory /var/www/html/redmine32/public>
            AllowOverride all
            Options -MultiViews +FollowSymLinks
            Require all granted
        </Directory>
        PassengerUser www-data
        PassengerGroup www-data
</VirtualHost>

And here are the lines from apache2.conf that activate passenger

LoadModule passenger_module /root/.rbenv/versions/2.2.2/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/passenger-5.0.8/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so
   <IfModule mod_passenger.c>
     PassengerRoot /root/.rbenv/versions/2.2.2/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/passenger-5.0.8
     PassengerDefaultRuby /root/.rbenv/versions/2.2.2/bin/ruby
   </IfModule>

Paths to Ruby are OK - double checked.

I hope someone can shed some light on this ;)

Thank you,
Vic

Maybe try and set

RailsBaseURI /

in your <virtualhost> configuration? (right after DocumentRoot)

I solved the problem, so I thought I should share, but I can't tell I'm 100% sure what helped.

- I removed Ruby (installed as .rbenv) and installed the latest version
- I also updated rails on server though this does not seem to make any changes to Redmine since it has it's own rails
- I updated Passenger to 5.0.28 (latest at the moment I'm writing this)
- I cleared all caches using commands from Redmine update tutorial (bundle exec rake tmp:cache:clear tmp:sessions:clear RAILS_ENV=production)
- I also fiddled a bit with virtualhost config though this turned out to be irrelevant
- Learned that PassengerUser and Passenger group are important so that redmine can write files to upload dir etc (check Administration/Information to see if this works)
- All of this led me to an REDMINE ERROR PAGE instead of the directory listing when I try to access / - so a huge change :)

Lastly, I fixed the error page by REMOVING .htaccess from /public directory, which I placed there myself in an attempt to fix original issue. The .htaccess was a copy of htaccess.fcgi.example, and it's probably 100% OK IF you're using fcgi - which I'm not.

So I'm still unsure what caused original problem I had, but maybe this will help someone to look in the right direction.
