Redmine

you have to run the plugin migrations :

rake redmine:plugins:migrate

This is what I get when running the command.

You have to do it at the root of you Redmine

If you want to do it with your production environment :
type before :
export RAILS_ENV=production

I run the command and get this as the result.

Then I go to the project and activate the "importer" module and then instantly I get the 404 error for the project page - see second image.

Do you have the Import permission for the module Importer

Good point ... my login is listed as an admin but I still went and set the permissions for all user types (manager, developer, etc.) to allow Importer. Still getting 404 error. Should I try on a new project and test that way?

I just tried creating a new project and checked Importer and got the 404.

As an admin you should have access to the import.

Can you give the URL leading to 404, perhaps it's not linked to the plugin.
Put it outside /plugins, and restart Rails to check.

At this point I might just re-type the issues ... is there a different plugin or different method you recommend?

I know nothing about ruby, rails, etc. so all this stuff is beyond my skill set.

Last chance, extract of the log file the traces generated by the request

File located in logs/production.log

From : Started GET ...
To : Completed 404 ...

Ok .. looking ... my redmine Info is showing development mode ... how do I change to production?

So, look in the development log for the errors?

Do you use passenger ?

And yes development.log.
So restart the migrations of the plugins in a new console :
echo $RAILS_ENV should display :

RAILS_ENV=

What is passenger?

echo just gives "$RAILS_ENV"

An applicative proxy for rails

How your apache / nginx is configured ?

echo just gives "$RAILS_ENV"

ok migrations will operate on dev envt.

you have to redo de plugins migrations

This is running on Windows 2008 R2 ... used the WPI installer for this whole install.

Can I change mode to Production and get everything running that way?

Setup

Okay I don't know how to change the with your web server.

Yes if you know how :-)

Question : in which console do you type your commands ?

I went start/programs/ruby/ ... "start command prompt with ruby" and typed the command

I probably could have typed in the issues by now considering the couple of days I have been playing with this.

Okay this must be a linux like command prompt
So what displays typing : export ?

if it's not a recognized command I have no explanation.

if yes you can retry :

rake redmine:plugins:migrate

perhaps, but anyways, you had to try it :-)

not recognized.

trying rake:redmine:plugins rails_env=development now ...

Didn't work ... I'm just going to re-type them.

How do I remove this plugin now?

Thank you so much for your patience and help!

move redmine_importer outside plugins/

(by the way, the directory must be named redmine_importer exactly)

Thank you so much for your patience and help!

You're welcome

The folder is named redmine_importer-master

Is that the problem?

yes it is !

I don't want to give up yet ... can you walk me through removing it completely and then installing it one more time?
