Why installation of Redmine plugins always kills Redmine ?

Added by Harrison Donner about 2 years ago

I am a new Redmine community member seeking for help.

I installed Redmine 4.2.3 on Ubuntu 20.04 following (https://izolabs.tech/2021/11/install-redmine-on-ubuntu.html). It was successful and I had Redmine working fine without plugins. I followed instruction to install plugins. The first one I tried was redmine_agile-1_6_2-light.zip. It worked! I then installed redmine_dashboard-main.zip and redmine_checklists-3_1_20-light.zip. But my Redmine stopped working. The browser shows the error message same as the picture somene else posted before (https://www.redmine.org/attachments/download/27304/Screenshot%20from%202021-05-02%2023-15-09.png). Uninstallation of the plugins did not recover my Redmine. I then deleted the Redmine folder and reinstalled it. The Redmine worked again. However, the Redmine stopped again after installed the plugin "redmine_agile-1_6_2-light.zip" which had no issue before. Now, no matter what plugin I install, it always kills the freshly installed Redmine.

The /var/log/apache2/error.log displays the following error message:

I have been struggling with this issue am terribly frustrated.

Redmine experts, please help! Thank you in advance.

Could you post error messages in /tmp/passenger-error-3gPsRA.html?

I looked into "/tmp", but could not find such a file "passenger-error-3gPsRA.html". After read your reply, I tried to reproduce this error again. This time, the /var/log/apache2/error.log displays the following error message:
--------------------------

But I am not able to locate the "/tmp/passenger-error-HyABoV.html"

$ ls /tmp/passenger-error-HyABoV.html
ls: cannot access '/tmp/passenger-error-HyABoV.html': No such file or directory
