Description

I'm trying to configure redmine for a suburl like http://server/redmine.
In Redmine 3.4, I got it working by adding 'RedmineApp::Application.routes.default_scope = ENV.fetch("RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT", "/")' to config/additional_environment.rb and setting RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT, but in Redmine 4.0 this produces an exception.
I tried various other things from HowTo_Install_Redmine_in_a_sub-URI but all of them had various problems (actually, none of them were really working for 3.4 but ohh well).

try this

config.ru
require ::File.expand_path('../config/environment',  __FILE__)
map ENV['RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT'] || '/' do
  run Rails.application
end

and don't forget to set the variable in your environment, for example

/etc/systemd/system/unicorn.service
[Service]
Environment=RAILS_RELATIVE_URL_ROOT=/redmine

Doesn't work for me on fresh installation of 4.0.4 + apache 2.4.39 + passenger 6.0.2. Tried with mod_proxy and without.
Can you show your apache httpd-vhost.conf?
What changes you made in redmine files (config.ru, config/environment.rb, etc.)?

Thanks!

Hi!

I am trying to install Redmine 4.0.4 in a Docker container and I want to make it accessible under the '/redmine' sub-URI. I'm experiencing the same problem as described in post 1 and have tried all your solutions already but nothing is working.

Has someone got another solution or can explain what the problem is exactly?

Thanks!

PS: Description of my environment:
PostgreSQL 9.6.10
ruby 2.5.5p157 (2019-03-15 revision 67260)
Rails 5.2.3
Redmine 4.0.4 in alpine linux 3.9.4 Docker container
