Make sure "Ruby on Rails":http://rubyonrails.org/ is properly installed on your machine.

h3. The application seems to work fine but some pages (eg. login form) have no content.
12
13 18 Jean-Philippe Lang
You're running Rails 1.1.x but Redmine requires 1.2.2.
14 9 Jean-Philippe Lang
Upgrade Rails (if you're using gem package system, run the command @gem update@ as root/administrator).

h3. I upgraded Rails to 2.0, but Redmine doesn't work anymore!
22 17 Jean-Philippe Lang
23 18 Jean-Philippe Lang
Redmine 0.6.3 is Rails 2.0 compatible, but prior versions are not.
24
25
The best solution is to upgrade Redmine to the latest version. But if you really 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:
26 15 Thomas Lecavelier
27
  rake rails:freeze:edge TAG=rel_1-2-6
28
29
Don't forget to restart your server.

h2. Issue tracking
32
33
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.
34
35 8 Jean-Philippe Lang
Once you've created a new issue status, you need to include it in the workflow.
36 7 Jean-Philippe Lang
37 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'.
38 7 Jean-Philippe Lang
Go to "Admin -> Issue tracking -> Workflow", select 'Bug' and 'Developer' then click edit.
39 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
You now see all the transitions allowed for developers on bugs. Check the 'New' -> 'In progress' checkbox and save.

h3. How does "Related issues" work?
44
45
Using Issue #100 as the one you set the relationship and Issue #101 as the "related to"
46
47
* Related - Just adds a link to the other issue
48
* Duplicates - Links issues so that changing the status of one, will change the other (e.g. closing #100 will close #101)
49
* Blocks - Forces an issue to be completed before working on the next.  I think it might affect the Gnatt chart but I don't know.
50
* Precedes - Defines an "order", where issue #100 needs to be completed x days before y can be started on.

h2. Repositories
53
54
h3. Commits don't show up in the activity until I click on 'Repository'
55
56
By default, Redmine fetches the new commits from the repository only when you browse it.
57
58
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):
59
60
  ruby script/runner "Repository.fetch_changesets" -e production
61
62 19 Thomas Lecavelier
h3. I can't browse my svn repository through redmine
63
64
Please check that you're using a svn client >= 1.3. And the server you're attacking, too. Redmine parse the -xml output from subversion, which is a svn 1.3 feature. 
65
66 11 Thomas Lecavelier
h2. Performance
67
68 14 Jean-Philippe Lang
h3. When I create a new issue, Redmine freeze during one minute.
69 11 Thomas Lecavelier
70 14 Jean-Philippe Lang
You have to configure email notification, or desactivate it. Please turn off *email notification* feature if you don't use it. In config/environment.rb replace the line
71 11 Thomas Lecavelier
72
  config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
73
74
to
75
76
  config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = false
77
78
and restart redmine.

h2. Miscalenous
81
82
h3. All times are off by 1 hour after the daylight savings switched
83
84
Rails builtin time zone implementation doesn't handle DST. You have to install "TZInfo":http://tzinfo.rubyforge.org/.
85
To do so, run the following from your Redmine directory:
86
87
  ruby script/plugin install tzinfo_timezone
