Can't access Redmine 0.8.7

Added by Jorge López over 14 years ago

Hello,

I'm using Redmine 0.8.x from SVN, server by Apache + mod_passenger 2.2.5 on RHEL 5.4.

This morning I read that 0.8.7 was published to fix a major bug, so I upgraded to 0.8.7. I ran the needed:

# rake config/initializers/session_store.rb

But after restarting Apache server, I can just see an Internal Server Error. Logs show the following:

*** Exception ApplicationController::MissingSessionSecret in PhusionPassenger::Railz::ApplicationSpawner (Missing session secret. Please run 'rake config/initializers/session_store.rb' to generate one) (process 18731):
        from /opt/redmine/app/controllers/application.rb:29
        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `gem_original_require'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:31:in `require'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.2/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:510:in `require'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-2.1.2/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:355:in `new_constants_in'

[....]

config/initializers/session_store.rb exists and has an apparently valid content:

ActionController::Base.session = {
  :session_key => '_redmine_session',
  :secret => 'f0c19d112b752dde57f717df77c4b6d2bd7c7df6'
}

Did I misread any step? How could I fix this?

Thank you.

Ok, I have just seen that session_store.rb isn't being read. I added some junk characters to it and Ruby didn't mind after restarting Apache.

As a dirty fix, I have added to config/environment.rb the following lines:

  config.action_controller.session = {
  :session_key => '_redmine_session',
  :secret => 'f0c19d112b752dde57f717df77c4b6d2bd7c7df6'
}

After adding that everything works, but I would like to know why doesn't session_store.rb work.

Hi Jorge López.

If you use old code review plugin or old wiki extensions plugin, this problem occurs. and you must upgrade them to latest version.

Thanks.

Haru lida, it was a plugin issue, you're right.

I filed a bug report (#4227) and it was finally a PluginBotsFilter issue. Jean-Philippe was so kind to update it to make it compatible with Redmine 0.8.7.

Thank you!

I see the same issue since 0.8.7, however, I have no plugins installed whatsoever. Any idea what could be the problem?

Me too, but after having a look in config/environment.rb i had an idea.

try:
rake db:sessions:create

the sessionstore is in the database now, the error-msg refers to the old
style file based one.
