Redmine on ubuntu 10.04

Hello,

I would like to install Redmine on an Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server using an own domain with a virtual host.

I followed the instructions on http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/HowTo_Install_Redmine_in_Ubuntu#Ubuntu-104-using-Passenger:

installed Redmine using apt-get and configured the database
created a symlink from /var/www/redmine
enabled mod_passenger and added PassengerDefaultUser

created a new config file for the virtual host and activated it:

<VirtualHost *>
  ServerName redmine.mydomain.com

  DocumentRoot /var/www/redmine
  <Directory /var/www/redmine/>
    RailsEnv production
    RailsBaseURI /redmine
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

When accessing the url "redmine.mydomain.com" I get all files of "/usr/share/redmine/public" listed.

I tried with configuration "RailsBaseURI /", but this ends up in the browser error:

Cannot start Ruby on Rails application
The directory "/var/www" does not appear to be a valid Ruby on Rails application root.

Where is my mistake?

Regards,
Lars

Hello,

the apache error log shows this message:

[Thu Aug 26 08:21:59 2010] [warn] No JkShmFile defined in httpd.conf. Using default /var/log/apache2/jk-runtime-status
[Thu Aug 26 08:21:59 2010] [error] *** Passenger could not be initialized because of this error: The Passenger application pool server, '/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.15/lib/phusion_passenger/ApplicationPoolServerExecutable', does not exist. Please check whether the 'PassengerRoot' option is specified correctly.

And what stated is correct: there is no such "ApplicationPoolServerExecutable".

What path do I have to set as "PassengerRoot"?
The Ubuntu default configuration in passenger.conf was "/usr", which looks wrong to me and is also not working.

Regards,
Lars

I think that is a configuration problem with your passenger and/or apache, please consult your distro-specific documentation or the the generic passenger configuration help.

Hello Felix,

sorry for the late response.

I tried some things and gave up. Now I run Debian squeeze and everything works fine.

I used this guide: http://madpropellerhead.com/random/20100820-installing-redmine-on-debian-with-apache

Be sure to set symlink to "<REDMINE-DIRECTORY>/public", like:

cd /var/www
ln -s /opt/redmine/redmine-1.3.1/public redmine
