Redmine

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.

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

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.
