h3. I upgraded Rails to 2.0.1, but Redmine doesn't work anymore!

Redmine 0.6.1 is Rails 2.0 compatible, but 0.6.0 is not.
24
If you want to use Redmine 0.6.0 on a box running Rails 2.0, please freeze your Rails version for Redmine (it won't affect your other Rails applications) by typing this command from your Redmine directory:
25 15 Thomas Lecavelier
26
  rake rails:freeze:edge TAG=rel_1-2-6
27
28
Don't forget to restart your server.

h2. Issue tracking
31
32
h3. I've created a new issue status but I can't use it, it doesn't show up in the status drop-down list.
33
34 8 Jean-Philippe Lang
Once you've created a new issue status, you need to include it in the workflow.
35 7 Jean-Philippe Lang
36 13 Jean-Philippe Lang
Say you have created a status named 'In progress' and you want the developers to be able to change bugs from 'New' to 'In progress'.
37 7 Jean-Philippe Lang
Go to "Admin -> Issue tracking -> Workflow", select 'Bug' and 'Developer' then click edit.
38 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
You now see all the transitions allowed for developers on bugs. Check the 'New' -> 'In progress' checkbox and save.

h2. Repositories
43
44
h3. Commits don't show up in the activity until I click on 'Repository'
45
46
By default, Redmine fetches the new commits from the repository only when you browse it.
47
48
If you want the commits to be retrieved periodically by Redmine in the background for all your repositories, uncheck 'Autofetch commits' setting and add a cron that runs (with appropriate environment):
49
50
  ruby script/runner "Repository.fetch_changesets" -e production
