Redmine

I have been very happily using Redmine for nearly 2 years now, however I updated my server from PHP V4 to V5 and MySQL V4 to V5 and along the way Redmine broke. The person who installed Redmine no longer works for me and his install notes were minimal. He used FastCGI and Apache but it would timeout regularly. So I've decided to start from scratch and after reading the Forums discovered phusion passenger, which sounds great.

I have installed phusion passenger, and updated rails and the mysql gem. I have Ruby 1.8.7 installed and am using CPanel/WHM on a VPS.

I downloaded and installed Redmine 0.9.3 into a fresh test CPanel Account.

There are the installed Gems.
actionmailer 2.3.5
actionpack 2.3.5
activerecord 2.3.5
activeresource 2.3.5
activesupport 2.3.5
cmdparse 2.0.2
fastthread 1.0.7
fcgi 0.8.7
highline 1.4.0
mysql 2.8.1
passenger 2.2.11
rack 1.0.1
rails 2.3.5
rake 0.8.7
rubygems-update 1.3.6
scgi_rails 0.4.3
sources 0.0.1

My database.yaml entry is:
production:
adapter: mysql
database: surfulc5_redmine
host: localhost
username: surfulc5_redmine
password: xxxx
encoding: utf8

I've updated /usr/local/apacche/conf/httpd.conf to include:
LoadModule passenger_module /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.11/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.11
PassengerRuby /usr/bin/ruby

and added:

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName surfulaterc5.com
ServerAlias www.surfulaterc5.com ## ServerName vps.myquickref.com/~surfulc5
DocumentRoot /home/surfulc5/public_html/redmine/public
<Directory "/home/surfulc5/public_html/redmine/public"> ## AllowOverride all
Options -MultiViews
Options FollowSymLinks
Allow from all
</Directory> ## RailsBaseURI /redmine
</VirtualHost>

I have tried various settings here.

There is another vhost for this domain:

<VirtualHost 207.58.155.150:80>
ServerName surfulaterc5.com
ServerAlias www.surfulaterc5.com
DocumentRoot /home/surfulc5/public_html

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/surfulc5/public_html/cgi-bin/

1. To customize this VirtualHost use an include file at the following location
2. Include "/usr/local/apache/conf/userdata/std/2/surfulc5/surfulaterc5.com/*.conf"

</VirtualHost>

Redmine is installed in public_html/redmine. If I open: http://vps.myquickref.com/~surfulc5/redmine/ I get a directory listing. The same with http://vps.myquickref.com/~surfulc5/redmine/public/ I have renamed .htaccess so it isn't used, which I've gathered is what should be done from reading forum posts. If I leave .htaccess I get a 404 Not Found for http://vps.myquickref.com/~surfulc5/redmine/public/

Note that there is no Domain surfulaterc5.com registered as this is just a test account. The account is accessed using: http://vps.myquickref.com/~surfulc5 There is a test CMS installed in the c5 folder.

I have tried with and without dispatch.cgi and dispatch.rb

I have searched the FAQ, How To's, Forum and the Web and am well and truly stuck, hence this post.

I am afraid I am pretty much out of my depth now and would greatly appreciate any help anyone can offer.

Thanks,
