Description
These errors are a bit inscrutable because they don't give the actual path to the directory in question. I found "assets" subdirectories in many of the plugin's own directories, all of which were writable, so I didn't know what to make of the message.
Please change the messages to, e.g.,
"..../public/plugin_assets/" writableAssociated revisions
Add public/plugin_assets directory (#8817).
Removed svn:ignore for public/plugin_assets directory (#8817).
Set svn:ignore to * for plugin_assets subdirectories (#8817).
Adds path to plugin_assets directory in admin/info (#8817).

Agreed, this is pretty confusing for a new Redmine user. The messages should be much more specific about what directories aren't accessible.
Also, in my case its because the directories don't appear to exist (though I can't be certain, since I'm not 100% what they're supposed to BE). It would be nice if Redmine could identify this case differently than a permissions issue -- i.e. "The ./public/plugin_assets/ directory does not exist".

Agree. I don't have any plugins, so <redmine>/public/plugin_assets didn't exist. Creating this directory and making it writeable by redmine fixed the error message.

Think it should be bundled indeed since it is not automatically created?

Correct path is: @<redmine>/public/plugin_assets/
Work on Redmine 2.0.3 - tested 1 mins ago.

For anyone else that ran into this issues, this worked for me:
sudo nano /etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.conf
and add the following line:
PassengerDefaultUser www-data
Passenger runs as nobody by default so changing it to www-data worked for me

It is part of Step8, so long as new users are reading the instructions... But it also mentions tmp & tmp/pdf which already existed for me using the git repo.
New install of v2.3.1 without plug-ins. Would it be possible to create this directory by default? and/or provide a clearer message on the information page.

redmine 2.6 the same here

Fixed, public/plugin_assets is now present out of the box and the admin/info now displays the path to this directory.

sudo nano /etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.conf
and add the following line:
PassengerDefaultUser www-data
I confirm that this worked for me on Ubuntu14.10 with libapache2-mod-passenger installed.
