Redmine

forgot to include the about output

About your application's environment

Should say production.. but I don not know why keep saying development. I obtained this output by issuing

ruby script/about

What's the exact command and output/error when you try to start it with webrick ?

Hi Jean,

when launching webrick I have this

~/public_html-webapps/redmine@15:15:03> ruby script/server -e production
=> Booting WEBrick...
=> Rails 2.1.2 application started on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server; call with --help for options
[2009-02-25 23:15:21] INFO  WEBrick 1.3.1
[2009-02-25 23:15:21] INFO  ruby 1.8.6 (2008-03-03) [i686-linux]
[2009-02-25 23:15:21] INFO  WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=772 port=3000

Which seems to be just perfect. Now I am not an expert of webrick and I do not understand how it will integrate with Apache. As far as I understood webrick is a webserver that is opening a port 3000 to accept incoming http. Do I have to enable port forwarding ? When I try to access the port:3000 on the remote server is giving back a "Network Timeout" response. Do I have to ask to forward the port 3000 ?

I know that one day everything will be clear to me...

Davide

I have a quesiton:

DO I have to use webrick ? It is possible to just launch redmine just by enabling the cgi / fastcgi ?

There are many ways to run rails applications... You can run Redmine with Fastcgi behind Apache, or have an Apache plugin (called mod_rails / passenger), or have a specific application server (such as webrick (for tests?), mongrel, thin,..). I'm not an expert in configuring FastCGI, so I cannot help you on that point.

I thought you had an error such as "Rails application failed to start properly" with Webrick too, I misunderstood you...

What you see when you type:

lynx localhost:3000

I have a same problem when trying to start Redmine via FastCGI. Now I think to try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=674598

I discovered at the end that the port 3000 was not open. At the moment I will try to make it work with webrick and then switch to fastcgi asap.

I have a question: since I am not root on the server, I installed the sqllite library under a folder on my home in myapps/gems/

When I launch webrick and try to acess the page, I got this error

MissingSourceFile (no such file to load -- sqlite3):

And when I ask for a list of installed gems, I got this

~/public_html-webapps/redmine@01:41:32> gem list

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

actionmailer (1.0.1)
actionpack (1.9.1)
actionwebservice (0.8.1)
activerecord (1.11.1)
activesupport (1.1.1)
fcgi (0.8.6.1)
mysql (2.7, 2.6, 2.5.1)
postgres-pr (0.4.0)
rails (0.13.1)
rake (0.8.1, 0.7.2)
rubygems-update (1.1.1)

It seems that the sqlite is not appearing in this list (I guess this is the gems installed by the root). As you may have guess I am do not know much about ruby, but so far I managed to install sqlite in my local folder easily.

Q: How do I install sqlite3-ruby on linux (CentOS) as a non-root user?
A:
    * install SQLite3 from source
      ./configure —prefix=/path/to/my/apps
      make
      make install
    * install sqlite3-ruby gem
      gem install sqlite3-ruby — —with-opt-include=/path/to/my/apps/include —with-opt-lib=/path/to/my/apps/lib

and then added the default data to it (which is already a good step!).

Is there a way to launch webrick and tell it to use libraries on my local folder ?

HI All...

I made it !!!

I just added this 2 lines to my .profile and the sqlite gem can now be found

GEM_PATH=$HOME/myapps/gems:/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
export GEM_PATH

Next step will be start use the fastcgi, but at the moment I am still happy with webrick.

Thank you all for the suggestion you gave me.
