Redmine

I posted here about my installation problems:
http://www.redmine.org/boards/2/topics/8655

and in addition I got "no route matches"
ActionController::RoutingError (No route matches "/plugin_assets/redmine_issues_group/stylesheets/stylesheet.css" with{:method=>:get}):
and for "/stylesheets/jstoolbar.css"
and for "/javascripts/application.js" and so on....

The goal was to use Apache without mongrel or WEBrick as there are other, non-Rails, web apps on this server.

here is my successful recipe:

starting with a 9.04 Ubuntu server, running Apache2.2 and Mysql and
Ruby in the usual way, with build tools installed, and root access:

install the Redmine app following their directions

apt-get install rubygems1.8
run "gem install rubygems-update"
run "update_rubygems" note: this will clean out your gems
run "gem install rails --VERSION=2.1.2" required by Redmine app
run "gem install mysql"
run "gem install passenger"
run "passenger-install-apache2-module" follow instructions

restart Apache
