Redmine

RedmineInstall or HowTo_configure_Apache_to_run_Redmine, though on apache I'd advise using passenger (last paragraph in the second link, lots of google hits).

I followed through your suggested link. But at finally,I am having following error :

Application error

Rails application failed to start properly

And Inside the Apache Error Log report says ...

[Wed Feb 24 10:47:40 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (OS 3)The system can not find the path specified. : couldn't create child process: 720003: dispatch.cgi
[Wed Feb 24 10:47:40 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (OS 3)The system can not find the path specified. : couldn't spawn child process: C:/xampp/htdocs/redmine/public/dispatch.cgi

Please Help me out :(

If you are running on windows your best bet is to use mongrel as the redmine application server and reverse proxy via xampp.

My own personal opinion is that using mod_cgi or mod_fcgi is asking for trouble

I am still having same error message, I dont know where is the problem. I have been trying to fix it up but couldnt able to fix it up. please help me. :(

Hello Jeffrey,

I really dont know if i could able to use Redmine without using mod_cgi or mod_fcgi.

Because, I become totally confused now, And seems no way to run Redmine on the Xampp.

If you really want to help me one more time, then i would be so glad so please let me know how could i run Redmine on the xampp ?

thanks Jeffrey

A detailed guide on getting rails applications working on windows can be found here:

Make sure you remove all your cgi/fcgi configuration stuff before trying the above.

Now, I have having error message as fellows ...

Application error

Rails application failed to start properly

If you want us to help you you need to help us. "Rails application failed to start properly" tells us nothing useful.

Look at the log file and see what the last error is then paste that in here.

You are still using FCGI, try mongrel on its own then try apache+mongrel using the guide I linked to above.
