Description
On my recent installation of Redmine I got bitten by multiple ActionView::TemplateError (undefined method `-' for nil:NilClass) in many places all refering to date fields.
As already reported in the redmine forums, I traced the crashes to my PgSQL default datestyle to 'SQL, European'. Switching to ISO,MDY fixed the problem, so I think adding a note about that in the installation documentation is necessary.
You can alter the datestyle for the redmine db permanently with the sql request :
ALTER DATABASE redmine SET datestyle TO 'ISO, MDY';
My setup : FreeBSD 6.2 / ruby 1.8.7 / rails 2.2.2 / trunk from 23/04/2009
Note: 0.8.3 also affected
