Not found on debian 8 with simple apt-get install

Hello,

I apologize in advance if the problem already been treated but I've searched the forum and found no definite answer. There are also many ways to install redmine, I would just use the simpler with the debian package, but must miss a step, I use the following tutorial: [[https://wiki.debian.org/redmine#Quick_installation_howto]]

I have not changed any files, I just input the password to my mysql database for installation. I checked the data is present in the database. I think the problem comes from the Apache configuration or passenger but I do not know how to correct the problem.

Installation Step

- apt-get install mysql-server redmine redmine-mysql apache2 libapache2-mod-passenger
- cp /usr/share/doc/redmine/examples/apache2-passenger-host.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/redmine.conf
- edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/redmine.conf
- a2enmod passenger
- a2ensite redmine.conf
- service apache2 reload

more /etc/apache2/sites-available/redmine.conf

# The passenger module (from the libapache2-mod-passenger package) must be
# enabled
<VirtualHost *:80>
    # ServerName my.domain.name
    # this is the passenger config
    RailsEnv production
    SetEnv X_DEBIAN_SITEID "default" 
    # CHANGE PassengerAppGroupName FOR OTHER INSTANCES
    PassengerAppGroupName redmine_default
    PassengerDefaultUser www-data
    Alias "/plugin_assets/" /var/cache/redmine/default/plugin_assets/
    DocumentRoot /usr/share/redmine/public
    <Directory "/usr/share/redmine/public">
        Allow from all
        Options -MultiViews
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

when I load the url http://xx.xx.xx.xx or http://xx.xx.xx.xx/redmine of my server I have a 404. can anyone help me please?

New to Redmine, myself.

I installed it per the instructions in the tarball (lot of work, actually installing all the gems), and couldn't connect w/ Apache, initially. I used a variant of your virtual host file (and installed passenger - didn't know that was a requirement. thanx), and, bang! it worked.

Here is my vhost file:

# The passenger module (from the libapache2-mod-passenger package) must be
# enabled
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName redmine.dev
    # this is the passenger config
    RailsEnv production
    SetEnv X_DEBIAN_SITEID "default" 
    # CHANGE PassengerAppGroupName FOR OTHER INSTANCES
    PassengerAppGroupName rickb
    PassengerDefaultUser rickb
    Alias "/plugin_assets/" /var/cache/redmine/default/plugin_assets/
    DocumentRoot /home2/wwwroot/redmine/public
    <Directory "/home2/wwwroot/redmine/public">
        Allow from all
        Options -MultiViews
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I would say

check all your paths and make sure they're pointing to real directories.
check your groupname and default user (they might be 'redmine' on your installation)

Those were the things I changed to conform to my installation (this is a private VM running NAT, no X11.)

Best.

Thank you. It's working.

We just adapt the right config file : /usr/share/doc/redmine/examples/ to apache and edit ServerName.

Thanks
