I just went through the instructions on http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/InstallRedmineOnDebianStableApacheMysqlPassenger on a fresh Debian 6.0 installation, and noticed a few documentation problems
Step 1.1: The install command includes apache, but doesn't include mysql. Seems like it should, because it does have to be installed.
I intentionally left out installing, configuring and securing MySQL, it would have made the guide too long. Thats why I put this at the beginning:
It is written for people who are familiar with Debian, the shell, MySQL, Apache and Linux in general.
I figured people are aware of the installation requirements.
I also had to install libxslt-dev.
I had verified the guide on a fresh install of squeeze, libxslt-dev was automatically installed as a dependancy of something I forgot. Are you sure you needed to install it manually?
Step 2.5: I had to do "gem install mysql2" before this step.
That should have been installed by bundler because it's in the Gemfile.
Step 3.1: Should mention making the symbolic link in sites-enabled before restarting apache.
To keep this guide short, it does not explain every step in detail.
OK, a mention of a2ensite wouldn't be too much clutter ;-)
Should I just go in an update that wiki page?
Go ahead, that's what the Wiki is for :-)
