Redmine + Apache Passenger only shows directory index

Hello,

i cant solve the problem that redmine+passanger only shows the folder index of redmine/public.
Maybe someone can give me a clue how to solve it.
We are using SuseLinux (SLES11) and all packages like apache2, ruby, rubygems... was installed by the local reposorty of SLES11

webrick works¶

ruby script/rails server webrick -e production runs well and i can access Redmine via the browser.

redmine is under /opt/redmine
in the documentroot of the apache (/srv/www) is a link to the redmine folder.

"apache2ctl -S" Shows:
VirtualHost configuration:
wildcard NameVirtualHosts and default servers:
*:80 _ Hostname.mycompany.com_ (/etc/apache2/conf.d/redmine.conf:1)
Syntax OK

RAILS_ENV=production script/about

sh: git: command not found
Environment:
  Redmine version                2.4.3.stable
  Ruby version                   1.8.7-p357 (2011-12-28) [x86_64-linux]
  Rails version                  3.2.16
  Environment                    production
  Database adapter               MySQL
SCM:
  Cvs                            1.12.12
  Filesystem
Redmine plugins:
  no plugin installed

Passenger was installed by "gem install passenger" and "passenger-install-apache2-module".
After this the apache httpd.conf was modified by adding following lines:

#Insert from the installation from passenger
LoadModule passenger_module /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-4.0.48/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so
   <IfModule mod_passenger.c>
     PassengerRoot /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-4.0.48
     PassengerDefaultRuby /usr/bin/ruby
   </IfModule>

The VirtualHost file looks like (/etc/apache2/conf.d/redmine.conf)

<VirtualHost *:80>
      ServerName _Hostname.mycompany.com_
      # !!! Be sure to point DocumentRoot to 'public'!
      DocumentRoot /opt/redmine/public
      <Directory /opt/redmine/public>
         # This relaxes Apache security settings.
         AllowOverride all
         # MultiViews must be turned off.
         Options -MultiViews FollowSymLinks
         # Uncomment this if you're on Apache >= 2.4:
         Require all granted

      </Directory>
    RailsBaseURI /redmine
    # These have been added: (Passenger guide)
    Alias /redmine /opt/redmine/public
    <Directory /opt/redmine/public>
        Allow from all
        Options -MultiViews
        # Uncomment this if you're on Apache >= 2.4:
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

At least my /opt/redmine/config/environment.rb looks like

# Load the rails application
require File.expand_path('../application', __FILE__)

# Make sure there's no plugin in vendor/plugin before starting
vendor_plugins_dir = File.join(Rails.root, "vendor", "plugins")
if Dir.glob(File.join(vendor_plugins_dir, "*")).any?
  $stderr.puts "Plugins in vendor/plugins (#{vendor_plugins_dir}) are no longer allowed. " +
    "Please, put your Redmine plugins in the `plugins` directory at the root of your " +
    "Redmine directory (#{File.join(Rails.root, "plugins")})" 
  exit 1
end
#ENV['RAILS_ENV'] ||= 'production'
#Redmine::Utils::relative_url_root = "/redmine" 

# Initialize the rails application
RedmineApp::Application.initialize!

I hope to get a clue. Thanks

Be sure passenger-module is running. Here how to test and a sample output:

root@xxx:/usr/share/redmine2/log#

If not, track down paths in passenger.conf: do they exist?
Have also a look at passenger.load:

root@xxx:/etc/apache2/mods-enabled# cat passenger.conf
<IfModule mod_passenger.c>
  PassengerDefaultUser www-data
  PassengerRoot /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-4.0.20

</IfModule>
root@xxx:/etc/apache2/mods-enabled#

root@xxx:/etc/apache2/mods-enabled# cat passenger.load
# vor 20131017:

LoadModule passenger_module /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-4.0.20/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so

# EOF

root@xxx:/etc/apache2/mods-enabled#

Had the same problem and hope this helps

Hi Alex Thanks for your hint. I checked passenger-status and noticed that there isnt any Process but i dont know how to start the process. Do you know how to get the process start? so there is a 1 like at your example? Here is the output:

I checked all the paths and files you posted. Every path seems to be right.

After starting "service apache2 start" the error.log file says "All Phusion Passenger agents started!":

[ 2014-07-25 12:31:54.1359 27488/7fa795407720 agents/Watchdog/Main.cpp:538 ]: Options: { 'analytics_log_user' => 'nobody', 'default_group' => 'www', 'default_python' => 'python', 'default_ruby' => '/usr/bin/ruby', 'default_user' => 'wwwrun', 'log_level' => '0', 'max_pool_size' => '6', 'passenger_root' => '/usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-4.0.48', 'passenger_version' => '4.0.48', 'pool_idle_time' => '300', 'temp_dir' => '/tmp', 'union_station_gateway_address' => 'gateway.unionstationapp.com', 'union_station_gateway_port' => '443', 'user_switching' => 'true', 'web_server_passenger_version' => '4.0.48', 'web_server_pid' => '27487', 'web_server_type' => 'apache', 'web_server_worker_gid' => '8', 'web_server_worker_uid' => '30' }

Seems to me okay isnt it?

And i tested passenger-memory-stats which displays my apache and passanger processes.

Nico,

maybe this helps: http://www.redmine.org/boards/2/topics/15491
I think it should solve your problem.

Cheers

Nico,

you seem to be lacking the "Passenger spawn server" as well as the actual application in the output of passenger-memory-stats but then again, I'm still on the v3 branch, perhaps v4 does things differently.

----- Passenger processes -----
PID    VMSize    Private  Name

30409  11.1 MB   0.6 MB   PassengerLoggingAgent
30835  102.0 MB  45.5 MB  Rails: /opt/redmine
.

Your passenger does not seem to start.
How did you install and enable it? As a package (yum, apt-get, ...) or as a gem, or from source?

RE: Redmine + Apache Passenger only shows directory index - Added by nico ps almost 11 years ago

Thanks for the answers up to now.

I will try the above guide from you alex.

Passenger was installed by the gem:

gem install passenger
passenger-install-apache2-module

Then i followed the installation guide.

Passenger isnt running? But the log of /var/log/apache2/error_log says

[notice] Apache/2.2.12 (Linux/SUSE) Phusion_Passenger/4.0.48 configured -- resuming normal operations

Is there a command to start the Passenger-Spawn-server?

RE: Redmine + Apache Passenger only shows directory index - Added by nico ps over 10 years ago

Now Redmine is running on Apache2+Passenger!

First of all I patched Redmine to the newest version(2.5.2)

Then i found the problem in my VirtualHost configuration.

The apache configuration has the following entery

Listen *:3000

So i changed the VirtualHost to

<VirtualHost *:3000>
    ....
</VirtualHost>

passenger-status:

I appreciate for all the help!
