Redmine

hi,

Today, I received this error. Our sys admin had installed some service to watch the network traffic. After he stopped it, and Redmine appeared again. When I see him on Monday, I'll ask him for more information.

Tanks Ivan.

Hi,

Our sysadmin had installed Network Magic for a trial. After he had removed it, Redmine started to work again. May be some configuration issue...

I believe I have these problems, since I'm using for the first time Ruby and Redmine.
Would it be better to use the Ruby / Redmine on a GNU / Linux?

Thank you very much.

I don't know about Linux installation. Ours is on Windows NT 2003.
We have
Ruby 1.8.7
Ruby On Rails 2.3.5
Redmine 1.0.4
mongrel 1.1.5
Apache 2.2.6 with mod_proxy, mod_proxy_http and mod_proxy_balancer

missing some configuration of apache?

I am not Apache-insider but with lots of tries got Redmine working. The following is what I done (hope not omitted something essential):

Redmine is installed and proved to work when started as

ruby script/server -e production

=============== Apache Virtual host =====================

This line (it is important, so as trailing "/" is important above past redmine_cluster)

Redmine::Utils::relative_url_root = ""

# Fix for mongrel which still doesn't know about Rails 2.2's changes, 
# We provide a backwards compatible wrapper around the new
# ActionController::base.relative_url_root,
# so it can still be called off of the actually non-existing
# AbstractRequest class.

module ActionController
  class AbstractRequest < ActionController::Request
    def self.relative_url_root=(path)
      ActionController::Base.relative_url_root=(path)
    end
    def self.relative_url_root
      ActionController::Base.relative_url_root
    end
  end
end
