Well weird. I’m getting out of ideas. Why don’t you start from begining and try trunk version.

Redmine current trunk requires Rails 2.2.2 but Redmine 0.8 requires v2.1.2.

Anyway, I changed the version in config/environment.rb but the error persists

sorry just to anwser now to your reply.

What Rails versions have you installed?

If I remember Redmine only works with 2.2.2
http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/RedmineInstall

I hope this article could help me on setting up a redmine app on my dreamhost account, but I’m stucked in this step:

$ rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=”production” –trace
(in /home//..com)
** Invoke db:migrate (first_time)
** Invoke environment (first_time)
** Execute environment
rake aborted!
uninitialized constant ActionController::AbstractRequest

I followed the tutorial as you wrote, but even changing rails or gem versions I can not move on.

Any tips?

No need to thanks . I like to get help too and help just fits in a short time for us.

It’s not a suggestion. You must touch the tmp/testart.txt file for Passenger to restart.
And yes, Passenger removes that file at the end.
Well I think in fact it does restart or else is something wrong not with your Redmine install but with Dreamhost’s Systems (config). Dreamhost guys says this may take a while.

Yheaa. I love the power of wiki’s. Nice job. thanks!

I love Redmine. Muliprojects, easy git integration, clean layout and many things . Ok, Trac is fabulous too but no multi-project built-in is a pita.
Hope you make losts of money with your projects . I need to start my own too. And yes I aggree with you DH is affordable eheh.

Regarding .htaccess, I still ain’t using it et all. I must finish that soon because I wanna test if we can add basic auth to it as we do with Apache. Some months ago this was an issue.

I tried to add some more current information to the dreamhost wiki page http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Redmine

so this is easier for the next person.

ATM for me this is just a temp solution so i can decide if i really like the Redmine solution. So far, it is exceptional in all respects. Once my projects start becoming more lucrative, I’ll probably move my rails apps to a ruby specific host. Its just that dreamhost is so damn affordable.. :0

What did your final .htaccess rewrite rules look like? Curiously comparing notes..

1) If I understand your question, Redmine is not looking for anything. The thing is, whenever you need to restart the Passenger (modrails) for you too “reload” your application, the way you have to do this is by touching the file restart.txt:

http://www.modrails.com/documentation/Users%20guide.html#_redeploying_restarting_the_ruby_on_rails_application

and yes I think Passenger watchs for the presence and (c|m|a)time of this file.

2) I keep just dispatch.fcgi on it. I aggree with you, seems to be faster.

3) well, are we talking about the huge Monter Dreamhost, where green dudes live doing bad things as sysadmins (took about 8secs to load the page :S) My suggestion is not for you but for Dreamhost guys… FreeBSD please

Hope you can get it running faster.

2) Which dispatch files do you have enabled in your public directory. just .rb, or the fcgi and cgi as well? I could be imagining things but my app seems to run faster with both fcgi and passenger enabled at the dreamhost control panel. Is anyone else getting this result?

Well I guess, actually 3) anyone else getting slow load time off dreamhost? Suggestions?

well, next time I have problems with Rails I know who to chat with (kidding, love to solve things all by my self… ok I know this is a bad policy but… )
