Help needed with restoring redmine backup 1.3.4

Added by Anonymous over 12 years ago

Hi,

Last night I tried to upgrade my redmine install to the new 2.2.0 but with no luck.
No I want to restore my redmine backup, I thought it worked.. restored all the files i.e: mv /path/to/redmine.bak /path/to/redmine.
The database has not beed modified and is ok. When I execute "start redmine" on ubuntu terminal it starts redmine. But when I'll go to redmine.mydomain.com:3000 it returns: Oops! Google Chrome could not connect.

I did not changed anything in my server config. except for installing rvm.

Server info:
ruby -v: ruby 1.8.7 (2011-06-30 patchlevel 352) [i686-linux]
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.1.2-vs2.3.2.1.build1-cti x86_64)
rubygems 1.8.15-1ubuntu0.1

Maybe it is better to remove all ruby versions incl gems and rails and reinstall it with rvm?

Did your redmine really run on port 3000? What happens if you leave out the port number?

When I leaved out the port number it returned the same error.

It's fixed now..

I removed every ruby package and redmine via apt-get remove and re-installed redmine following this guide: http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/HowTo_Install_Redmine_in_Ubuntu ofc I did not reinstalled the lamp server.
After the install I have imported the backup of the database via phpMyAdmin and everything was up and running again.

I hope restoring a redmine backup can be done through easier ways..

It sure is easy to restore redmine to a previous state, it depends on how you do the backup.
First, restore the database (mysql on-liner), then restore the data you backed up (also a one-liner, tar, duply, duplicity, rdiff-backup, whatever you use)...
