Redmine

Dear Team,

I have gotten through the installations of all the relevant packages for Redmine with subversion support. Everything works, and the test with Webrick runs.

You install docs include setup commands for mysql and this helped quite a bit.

However, getting apache (win32) up and running is a different animal. I'm not an IT guy, just a systems programmer. But I've studied apache docs and searched the forums here.

Here's what I think I've learned. I think the default port of 80 is probably fine (ie, don't need 3000 as in webrick). I've set the document root path to the absolute path where redmine's "public" folder is. I loaded up the webdav-related modules as directed at the top of the "dav.conf" file and set up loading that file in the httpd.dav file. There's a "directory" directive in the httpd.conf that is: "This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to". Once I got this going, I tried using a browser again, this time with Apache serving, and I get just the "index of" and a directory listing of the redmine/public folder. This showed me the .example files for cgi, and so I changed dispatch.cgi and dispatch.fcgi so the absolute path of the dispatched under "ruby" was set.

At this point, I'm at a loss. It would be helpful if you guys offered some Apache webdav setup hints -- the files to change, a list of settings that are required, and perhaps where the "startup" files are. Would a sample of these settings be a sensible thing to share?

Matt
