Redmine

It's quite easy, you just have to create 2 different directories (for instance /opt/redmine_prod/ and /opt/redmine_dev/) with all the files in both. Each one may have a different configuration of config/database.yml (you'll need 2 different databases). Then start the two apps on different ports and that's all !

Hi Jean-Baptiste.

I may have done something wrong for I have done exactly this.

My directories are /home/redmine/redmine and /home/redmine/redminedev. My database.yml files differ in the fact they point to 2 tables with the same user.

It works fine when I do this: ruby /home/redmine/redmine/redmineserver.rb start f - e production -p 3000
It also works fine when I do this: ruby /home/redmine/redminedev/redmineserver.rb start -f - -e production -p 3001 (or -e dev here... database.yml if config'd that way)

But running 1 command after the other without stopping the 1st instance, it results in: ERROR: there is already one or more instance(s) of the program running

Is there something I have missed?

Maybe you need to rename your script (for ex. in dev directory) and run like this:

ruby /home/redmine/redmine/redmineserver.rb start f - e production -p 3000
ruby /home/redmine/redminedev/redmineserver_dev.rb start -f - -e production -p 3001

I don't know this script : redmineserver.rb. Where did you get this and what does it contain ?
Maybe this script forbids to run two instances on the same host : it's a common place in linux start scripts to create a lock file in /var/lock/ or /var/run/, but as far as I know this script is not provided with redmine standard distribution, and the error message is unknown for me.

Hi Jean-Baptiste

Here is the content of that file unknown:

[root@www redminedev]# cat /home/redmine/redmine/redmineserver.rb
# this is myserver_control.rb

  require 'rubygems'        # if you use RubyGems
  require 'daemons'

  Daemons.run('/home/redmine/redmine/script/server')

I also did try to rename the file as suggested by Artem Konoplin without success.

I also tried renaming the server file in script directory as well... I seem to get nowhere.

Any other ideas?

Regards

Marc.

Why don't you run your dev instance with ruby script/server (and the usual startup stuff)? No need to make a daemon out of that one, is it?

If i read your code correctly you are running the server script without arguments at all. If that is correct your production code speed must be real bad. Or how would your redmineserver.rb pass arguments to Daemons.run? If you are using a production instance, make sure it runs as production (what log are growing, development.log or production.log?).

That said, i do run my dev environ under phusion passenger nowadays (unless i need to do some debugging). Change code in dev and then just a "touch tmp/restart.txt" to restart dev environment. But then again, as soon as i try to do something new, i go back to "ruby script/server -p 3001" (or real lazy, netbeans debugger).

Marc : ok, so here is the problem, in your script ! Renaming the script will have no effect, but *inside* the script, you tell it to start the app under "/home/redmine/redmine" ; so you have to change the script in you redmine dev directory, replacing the daemonization with a @Daemons.run('/home/redmine/redminedev/script/server'). Did you try this ?

(oups, the formatting of my answer is not what I expected, but if you ommit the "@" it can be understood easily I think. Sorry for the double post...)

JB: Yes I have tried. With the same result.

Thomas:

ruby script/server -p 3001

Thomas again: my dev environment is way slower ran this way per comparison to my prod environment ran as "ruby /home/redmine/redmine/redmineserver.rb start f - -e production"

Is this what you call deamonized without parameters? Would you suggest something else? (I need to say that my prod env is way more performent then my dev as it is)

Thanks for all the help guys.

Best regards.

Hi,Marc!

Can you show to us content of the '/home/redmine/redmine/script/server'?

Pid-Files generated by Daemons have to following format:

<scriptname>.rb<number>.pid

I think you need to rename not your 'redmineserver.rb', but '/home/redmine/redmine/script/server'.
For ex:

#redmine/redmineserver.rb

...
Daemons.run('/home/redmine/redmine/script/server')
...

#redminedev/redmineserver.rb

...
Daemons.run('/home/redmine/redmine/script/serverdev')
...

Artem: for the dev environment, you wanted to say

Daemons.run('/home/redmine/redminedev/script/serverdev')

Sure :)

Hi Guys.

Artem's got it right with Jean-Baptiste's correction.

Everything works like a charm. Though the dev environment is much slower then the prod, I can play in my code at heart's content.

Here is the content of the requested file:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../config/boot'

Isn't it a standard Redmine file?

Thanks again guys. Your help got me through the understanding of "processed" and "deamonized"!

Hey guys,

i just run a new container in Docker on my NAS and changed the path and port and when I want to start it is stops after 5 seconds ... what do i do wrong ?
