Redmine

Here it is

this is the log when redmine successfully starts (without the email.yml file). With email.yml, the log file is empty.

1. I originally install Redmine using Bitnami installation and working great. Then I upgrade using
svn co http://redmine.rubyforge.org/svn/branches/0.8-stable redmine-0.8
2. I then rename the directory to redmine, run svn update, copy database.yml file, create the email.yml and configure with the same smtp server, user and password for smtp.
3. When I browse http://localhost, this error come up

Proxy Error
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /redmine.

Reason: Error reading from remote server

Only when there is no email.yml file in the config directory, redmine will work.
I am running on Vista and Windows 2000 server.
thanks for all the help

Attached is the mongrel.log file with some error ..... If there is no email.yml file, this log file is empty
I hope this will help

This log shows that you have a syntax error in your original email.yml. The error is raised when the YAML module tries to parse it.
For example, make sure you don't use tabs to indent the lines, use spaces only.

It's not a Redmine defect.

I have removed spaces in the email.yml and now I get different error in the mongrel.log
Here is my gem list

thanks for your help!

Your new email.yml is invalid.
Reread my reply, I didn't tell you to remove the spaces at the beginning of the lines.

Your file must look like this:

production:                  <= no spaces at the beginning
  delivery_method: :smtp     <= 2 spaces at the beginning (but no tab and no trailing spaces)
  smtp_settings:
    address: mail.xxx.com    <= 4 spaces at the beginning (but no tab and no trailing spaces)
    port: 25
    domain: xxx.com
