Redmine

I consult the logfile:

Hi,

can you change truncate function by this in vendor/rails/actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/text_helper.rb
this code is the truncate function on rails 1.1.6 debian package source.

def truncate(text, length = 30, truncate_string = "...")
        if text.nil? then return end
        l = length - truncate_string.length
        if $KCODE == "NONE" 
          text.length > length ? text[0...l] + truncate_string : text
        else
          chars = text.split(//)
          chars.length > length ? chars[0...l].join + truncate_string : text
        end
      end

best regards.

Have you check that you haven't files in conflict in your svn tree?
Which version of rails is frozen in your redmine?
The better should be to display the result of:

$ ruby script/about

Thanks to both of you for your replies :)

@Gwenael Pellen:
Your code snippet makes redmine working again, thanks!

Thomas Eccard Lecavelier:
Everything alright with the files, no conflicts.
For "ruby script/about" I had to create a development-database configuration. Here's the output:

$ ruby script/about 
About your application's environment
Ruby version              1.8.7 (x86_64-linux)
RubyGems version          1.1.1
Rails version             2.0.2
Active Record version     2.0.2
Action Pack version       2.0.2
Active Resource version   2.0.2
Action Mailer version     2.0.2
Active Support version    2.0.2
Edge Rails revision       rel_2-0-2
Application root          /var/www/redmine
Environment               development
Database adapter          mysql
Database schema version   92

To clear thinks up:
For the "undefined method 'length'" failure ruby 1.8.7 is to blame. I completly overlooked the upgrade of ruby from 1.8.6 to 1.8.7 on my system..
But with Gwenael Pellen's solution, redmine now works even with ruby 1.8.7! :)

Also see #1457

FYI, you can use the RAILS_ENV env variable to see your production config:

$ ruby script/about RAILS_ENV=production

Unfortunately not :/

ruby script/about RAILS_ENV=production
/var/www/redmine/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/connection_specification.rb:217:in `establish_connection': development database is not configured (ActiveRecord::AdapterNotSpecified)

I'm trying to install Redmine (to be honest, this is my first rails app ever) and I'm getting Internal Server Errors as well. Any help would be AWESOME. I've searched the forums and found other errors, but nothing that seems to change my case.

Here's my info:

ruby script/about:
About your application's environment
Ruby version 1.8.7 (i686-linux)
RubyGems version 1.1.1
Rails version 2.0.2
Active Record version 2.0.2

Active Resource version 2.0.2
Action Mailer version 2.0.2
Active Support version 2.0.2
Application root /var/www/redmine
Environment development
Database adapter mysql
Database schema version 92

Next time, please open a new thread.

Start by trying with mongrel:

sudo gem install mongrel

It's transparent for you (you can run ruby script/server without any change) and could work better.

I installed mongrel and I'm having the same issues. I've started a new thread here:
http://www.redmine.org/boards/2/topics/show/1381

Thanks for the help Thomas, previously and any additional advice you might have.
