Redmine

Hello Randy,

You will find that webrick, though "fine" for testing, is not the best horse to bet on for production systems anymore. I you already have a webserver running on the machine you want to run redmine on, I'd strongly recommend to get passenger a.k.a. mod_rails to run redmine (google will point you to a great many install passenger on ubuntu tutorials), if not, my understanding is that mongrel is the standalone rails webserver of choice (google should yield some tutorials too).

Well I didn't word that correctly. I was looking for instructions on getting passenger mongrel or anything to work, but have had no luck. I did download turnkey and the installation at least works. Now just have to figure out the proper way to add SVN repos..:)

I have had the same issue. Webrick runs it fine, but how do you get it to start correctly everytime. is the a script I could write to place within th einit.d directory?

Hi guys,

I have now found a solution, providing you have installed mongrel:

Within terminal type the following:

sudo crontab -e

on a new line type:

@reboot /path/to/redmine/folder ; mongrel_rails start --environment=production

Example: "@reboot /var/www/redmine-0.9.1 ; mongrel_rails start --environment=production

This will not only run redmine at the start but also, you will notice redmine working alot more efficiently. I will be posting a full guide very soon.
