Redmine

[WackyIraqi]

Does anybody have experience installing/using Redmine?

I've been messing around with it for a little while trying to get it going but it just keeps giving me Ruby/Rake errors when trying to create the tables for the db. I have zero experience with Ruby/Rails/Rack.

I'm assuming this is compatible with the Webhosting package. Shows it supports Ruby/Rails/Rack but does that mean I still have to install it myself, or it is already installed somewhere on the server?

I've never tried that one myself. What is the error that you are seeing?

Server-side, RoR support is provided by http://www.modrails.com/ and it should run seamlessly.

Okay, I ventured back into redmine land after being busy with other things.

I started from scratch. There are a couple things that I think are going wrong and could be the problem.

1) using 'gem install rails -v=2.3.11' completes but gives me an error about PATH not set cause I can't write to usr/bin or something. Installs to ~/.gem (right next to my public folder)

2)using 'gem install rack -v=1.1.1' completes with same error. Installs to ~/.gem (right next to my public folder)

3)While going through the installation and creating the MySQL database, the operation ends at random places. I've tried wiping my DB and starting over several times but the operation ends at a random place with an error like this:

== AddChangesetCommitDate: migrating =========================================
-- add_column(:changesets, :commit_date, :date)
rake aborted!
SIGTERM

I've tried looking around for a solution to that, but my only conclusion is that something is preventing the process to continue running and I'm getting a SIGTERM from somewhere. Doesn't seem to be from the installer.

Are you doing this on the shared webhosting? If so, rails and rack are both already installed there, so you won't need to install those gems.

Is your installation script taking longer than 60 seconds to run? If so, you'll need to break it up into smaller pieces and run them individually. The anti-exploit/TOS-enforcement system on the shared webhosting machines does not allow long-running processes.

Yes, this is on a regular webhosting account.

That could be it. I wound up getting it to fully run (i think), by re-executing the script after deleting what it previously tried doing in phpMySQL.

My only problems seems to be getting it to actually run through passenger. The site just throws a 500 Internal Server Error through apache at me. ( http://dev.alex-mcardle.com )

I'm still working on it though. All of the server-side ruby gems etc. seem to be compatible versions.

Hmm. If that keeps up, please let me know through a support request, and I can check a few things on the server side to make sure Passenger is truly running right.
