login problem with 2 redmine installation on the same server
0%
Description
Hello,
We have a strange behavior with a specific installation on our LAN.
To make evaluation of a new version we install 2 redmine site with the following URL:
url1://redmine/eval
url2://redmine/prod
The problem occur when after a successful admin login on url1://redmine/eval we change the URL by hand to url2://redmine/prod then we automatically gain the admin login but on the other site (password are not the same on the 2 site for admin). Equal behaviour with other user except that we gain the login of an other user.
we also have problem when adding url corresponding to "eval" in a "prod" news. When user click on the link this generate an internal server error.
It's surely an error from our side to install twice redmine on the same server but perhaps other peoples have made this mistake.

First, you need to set 2 different cookie names for your redmine instances since they are accessed with the same host name.
For example, add the following line in config/environment.rb (after line 71):
ActionController::Base.session_options[:session_key] = "redmine_eval"I think a good solution would be to use 2 virtual hosts.
we automatically gain the admin login but on the other site
Do you use the default session storing method (on the file system in tmp/sessions) ? Or do you use cookie store ?
Do your 2 install share the same tmp directory ?
When user click on the link this generate an internal server error.
Can you give the url that is behind this link ?

it's effectively our choice to solve the problem
Do you use the default session storing method (on the file system in tmp/sessions) ?
apparently yes
Do your 2 install share the same tmp directory ?
Yes. The /tmp directory have a huge number of file with name like this ruby_sess.ff7af55ce89a05e9
Can you give the url that is behind this link ?
The exact situation is:
a news at "http://redmine/prod/news/show/20":// contain this text:
use "this page":http://redmine/eval/projects/1/issues to add bug or features request
the result page is:
<title>redMine 500 error</title> ... <h1>Internal error</h1> <p>An error occurred on the page you were trying to access.<br /> If you continue to experience problems please contact your redMine administrator for assistance.</p> <p>...

- Status changed from New to Closed
This error is raised because the user id stored in the session is invalid. Note that you wouldn't get a 500 error with latest trunk.
Do you use the default session storing method (on the file system in tmp/sessions) ?
apparently yes
Session storage must not be shared between 2 instances. A user how logs in on an instance would be recognized as the user with the same id on the other instance!
