How to reinstall redmine after hardware crash

Hi Community,

i had a hardware crash (mainboard). The hdd with my redmine installation is ok and valid, so all the data are present. is there a way to get this installation running again? I think i had to reinstall the servers or reactivate? if not, is there a way to get access to the database data, located (i think its the right directory) sql/data folder?

update: i found the appache 2.4 mainservice is allready installed on my system. so i changed all of the configfiles to the new drive letter. then i started the service. if i start the bitnami redmine manager tool, the service panel is empty. i remember that there was about 4 servers running. i think it should be possible to reactivate this servers but i dont know how.

thx

Hello

Copy in a safe place:
- mysql/data
- redmine/htdocs/files
- redmine/htdocs/config

Install a new server with exactly the same version (if possible) to not mix migration and update.
Check if the server is working fine
Stop the server and rename (to be able to roll back)
- mysql/data => data-1
- redmine/htdocs/files files-1
- redmine/htdocs/config/database.yml database-1.ymv

Copy the old database, files and config to the new server
Restart Redmine

Copy of the database is not the best. Try mysqldump to do your backup afterwards.
