How to Request Help -- Problem

The how to request help page recommends running scripts/about
in the $REDMINE (/opt/redmine)directory in order to preface
any help requests with a system snapshot.

Executing

hostname:~# _$REDMINE/script/about_

Produces the following result

_/opt/redmine/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/connection_specification.rb:217:in `establish_connection': development database is not configured (ActiveRecord::AdapterNotSpecified) from /opt/redmine/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/connection_specification.rb:208:in `establish_connection' from /opt/redmine/vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer.rb:234:in `initialize_database' from /opt/redmine/vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer.rb:94:in `process' from /opt/redmine/vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer.rb:49:in `send' from /opt/redmine/vendor/rails/railties/lib/initializer.rb:49:in `run' from /opt/redmine/config/environment.rb:17 from /opt/redmine/vendor/rails/railties/lib/commands/about.rb:1:in `require' from /opt/redmine/vendor/rails/railties/lib/commands/about.rb:1 from /opt/redmine/script/about:3:in `require' from /opt/redmine/script/about:3 _

Likely I'm missing some $ENVIRONMENT setting required to execute this
ruby script. In any case, is there a recommended way to make this
$REDMINE/scripts/about produce the expected results ?

Thanks for catching that, I've updated my post in How to request help.

To solve your problem, try running RAILS_ENV=production script/about. By default it will use the development environment, hence the "development database is not configured" it printed out.

You need to change into your Redmine directory first.

/$ cd /opt/redmine
/opt/redmine$ RAILS_ENV=production script/about
