Cannot Access Redmine After Closing Terminal (Webrick Stops)
Added by Luca Fusi almost 15 years ago
Hi All,
Hoping this is a fairly simple problem to troubleshoot, though I didn't turn up much on it.
Very new to webservers/setting up applications like this, but am the PM for the company and wanted desperately to get Redmine running on our MediaTemple dv box (Apache). Have configured Ruby on Rails (1.8.7, which I grabbed from the front site as the latest release) using the following sets of instructions:
1) Mongrel Clusters according to MediaTemple's guide (http://kb.mediatemple.net/questions/279/Ruby+on+Rails+using+Mongrel+Clusters)
2) Steps 1-2 from this guide (http://carrotplant.com/en/blog/installing-redmine-on-a-media-temple-dv-server)
3) Steps 1-8 from the official Redmine install (http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/RedmineInstall)
Basically, I'm at the point where I can successfully load Redmine (yay!) as I start the webrick service (ruby script/server webrick -e production) and point my browser to http://localhost:3000/.
But as soon as I close the terminal, I can no longer access Redmine - I'm guessing it's because the webrick service is meant to continue running for as long as I don't restart Apache, but something is killing it?
I realize there are many pieces in play here but am looking for some general guidance. I have tried a few things and made the following post-setup configuration changes (none of which have made the problem better or worse). I backed up all files before making these tweaks.
- FastCGI is enabled in my Apache's global conf file
- conf/environment.rb RAILS_GEM_VERSION is set to 1.8.7, same as the ruby -v version
- Have replaced the contents of the redmine directory conf/vhost.conf file with:
DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/dev.layerframe.com/rails/redmine-0.8.7/public <Directory "/var/www/vhosts/dev.layerframe.com/rails/redmine-0.8.7/public"> Options FollowSymLinks Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> RailsBaseURI /
None of these seem to be doing it.
Any thoughts? Plan to be sticking around these forums, so thanks in advance for the welcome :)
Luca

No luck yet, Sarah, but I'm still looking for a solution.
Will update the board when I know more!

Luca Fusi:
I'm a bit confused, from what it sounds like you are trying to run Redmine using three separate web servers (you only need one):
- script/server (webrick)
- FastCGI
- Apache Passenger (from your vhost.conf file)

1) go to ruby install dir
2) run at terminal:
ruby script/server webrick -e production
3) leave every Terminalsession with the command "exit"
That work for us :-)
