Redmine

It might be that you have "too much" path in your -f parameter. Works for me with:

*/2 * * * *    apache    /usr/bin/rake -s -f /path/to/redmine/Rakefile redmine:email:receive_imap RAILS_ENV="production" $OTHER_OPTIONS

(IIRC the -s switch just silences the rake call)

Thanks, Felix. That actually didn't work for me though. On my system, rake lives in /usr/local/bin so /usr/bin/rake doesn't do anything.

I actually got it mostly working now.

Currently, this is the line in cron:

cd /var/www/sites/redmine ; /usr/local/bin/rake redmine:email:receive_imap RAILS_ENV="production" host=secure.mailserver.com port=993 username=bugz@mydomain.com password=mypassword unknown_user=accept ssl=1 project=kcdev tracker=triage

• Change directories to the path of Redmine.
• remove the "-f" and the rake file path that goes with it. Not sure why that was a problem, especially since the documentation says to do it that way, but oh, well.

There we have it. Mail fetching finally works!

I still have a problem though: Redmine seems to ignore any additional parameters I pass to it so the tracker=triage bit does not work. New issues are not assigned to any particular category or version. That's something I need to correct fairly soon. If anyone has ideas, please let me know.

Thanks again,
Mike

You have to specify the tracker exactly as it is named in your redmine installation, i.e. capitalization might be the issue.

Doh! I put tracker but meant category. That was my problem. Now it assigns tickets to the appropriate category. Yay!

Thanks again!

Thanks Mike T, removing f and rake file path did the trick for me as well.

Can anyone help poor guy like me?

I have cron: rake -f home/zenmana/domains/zenweb.pl/public_html/Rakefile redmine:email:receive_imap RAILS_ENV="production" host=imap.gmail.com port=993 ssl=1 username=programzenweb.pl@gmail.com password=mypassword --trace

I got email response:

what do I do wrong?

Please check if the command works in your user session.
If this exact line works in your console I'd bet that the PATH variable isn't set correctly.

Thank You, I am like Wordpress coding advanced. I am not sure what console means, how it works. Can You please briefly explain me how to access console and fire up this file? And also, does the file "Rakefile" need to have any code?

With console I meant a normal terminal window. But after a bit of googling around I think this is not the usual PATH problem.

The Rakefile should look like the one in the Repository.
As there is some output and I assume you didn't create it this should be fine.

I also found a thread at stackoverflow which covers your error message. It seems that there is something wrong with the installation of ruby or bundler.

I think Redmine has nothing to do with this issue. Are you trying to install Redmine from scratch or is this an old installation you have to maintain?

Hello,
I think I would do something like:

cd /opt/remine/ && bundle exec rake redmine:email:receive_imap RAILS_ENV="production" host=imap.gmail.com port=993 ssl=1 username=programzenweb.pl@gmail.com password=mypassword --trace
