Redmine installs fine but does not run

Submitted by Hal9000 on Wed, 04/14/2010 - 01:57

Hi there! I installed redmine 0.9.3 via the scripts installer, afer apt-getting a required package which i found about in an existing issue here, so it installed fine. However, the rails server does not start. When I click on "start rails server" in the script options, virtualmin says "done" but actually it remains down. Looking at the logs/redmine.3001.log i see this:

** Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:3001

** Mounting Rails at /redmine...

        from /usr/bin/mongrel_rails:19

What could the problem be?

looks like there is some compatibility issue with mongrel... i added the file config/initializers/00-fix-mongrel.rb with the following contents

module ActionController
  class AbstractRequest < ActionController::Request
    def self.relative_url_root=(path)
      ActionController::Base.relative_url_root=(path)
    end
    def self.relative_url_root
      ActionController::Base.relative_url_root
    end
  end
end

redmine now starts fine

Thanks for that patch - I will include it in the next Virtualmin release!

Most users install redmine in the root directory where this isn't needed, which is why it hasn't been noticed before..
