Bitnami Redmine - redmine

I'm using Bitnami redmine 1.3.1 (upgraded it to 1.3.2) and due to some reason, Mongrels keep dying after few hours.
Her'e another thread mentioning a similar issue
http://bitnami.org/forums/forums/redmine/topics/mongrels-dying-after-few-hours
Due to this, though redmine service is running - I cannot load redmine login page.
Is anyone else facing a similar issue?

BitNami Redmine uses Apache with Passenger by default on OS X and Linux. On Windows, the default configuration is Apache with two Thin servers.
Check the plugins that you installed on top of your Redmine application, some of them are only compatible with specific Redmine versions.

Redmine version 3.0.3 to 4.0.3 upgrade

I'm currently on a task to upgrade from Redmine 3.0.3 to Redmine 4.0.3.
I have followed these steps from http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/redmineupgrade but the current system is running a version of Ruby that is not supported by Redmine 4.0.3. I have also tried to make a new server using Turnkey Redmine and then copied over the database and configuration file, but with no luck.
Has anyone done this before and if so is there an how-to guide somewhere?
This appears to be more of a general 'How to deploy a Rails application' question, not really Redmine specific.
In short, Chruby or the aforementioned Rvm are the answer to all your Ruby version problems. After installing a current version of Ruby, you will have to somehow configure your Ruby server (Unicorn or mod_rails or whatever you're using) to run with that version of Ruby. How to do that really depends on what you are running and, again, is not Redmine specific but specific to that server.

Django deployment in centos server

I generally deploy django web applications in Ubuntu.
But currently we are using cpanel(not looking for alternatives) which doesnt work in Ubuntu. so want to know if moving to centos for cpanel is worth ?
Because my fear is, if we move to centos server, do we have to face some complex issues(with django deployment) that we might take lot of time(we are good at Ubuntu).
Deploying on centos is essentialy the same. You will probably want to run django in gunicorn and supervisor watching over the process. And nginx for serving static files.
I have done deployment on CentOS aswell as on Ubuntu and I didn't encounter any problems.
You can use the below link to help you in deployment
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-redirect-www-to-non-www-with-nginx-on-centos-7
and if you had any issues in permission you can disable SE-LINUX

Django Deployment on windows

I am learning python and Django now. I have a question related to deploying Django project on windows 7. I know how to start the test server in django and see the project. But I have to do start the server manually every time I restart the PC. Also I have to keep the terminal window open.
Consider the below scenario for php projects.
We copy and paste the php files in htdocs or www folder in apache server and access them using the respected url. Web Server is running in the background. We dont have to start the server on windows restart.
Is something similar possible with Django on apache or any other server?
If yes, how should I go about it?
Thanks in advance.
For anyone stumbling around for an answer to a similar problem with deploying Django on a Windows server, here is a guide
Deploy Django with Apache and mod_wsgi on Windows Server 2019
To have Apache24 service automatically run on startup, make the changes in Windows Services dialog.

Can't Find Upgrade Patch for phpMyAdmin

phpMyAdmin on my server is giving me a message
A newer version of phpMyAdmin is available and you should consider upgrading. The newest version is 4.1.7, released on 2014-02-09.
My tech support at MycPadmin.com cannot find the exact patch for the cpanel current version - WHM 11.40.1 (build 11).
Can you please tell me where to find this patch. Thank you.
Since your hosting provider is using a packaged version distributed by cPanel, you can either download the official phpMyAdmin source and install it manually out side of the existing phpMyAdmin installation, or you can wait for cPanel to provide an update.
As an aside, phpMyAdmin provides a specific way for other packages that include phpMyAdmin (like cPanel in this case) to suppress that warning, and it's probably an oversight that they don't. In the meantime, you could also turn off the warning by editing your config.inc.php and adding the line $cfg['VersionCheck'] = false;

Mylyn & Redmine Integration

I'm trying to get Mylyn and Redmine work together so I can manage tasks right inside Eclipse. I saw this on redmine wiki http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/HowTo_Mylyn but I think it's for the old version of Mylyn.
I can't find the Generic Web Connector plugin for Mylyn but there's this Web templates plugin. I think that one replaced the Generic Web Connector. But it's quite different from the screenshots posted at the Redmine wiki. There's no Task URL, New Task URL, etc.
Here is what you are looking for:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/redmin-mylyncon/
A Mylyn connector specially for RedMine. It works fine with eclipse ganymede.
The update site is: http://redmin-mylyncon.sourceforge.net/update-site/N/
Here are the steps to perform integration between Eclipse Mylyn and Redmine.
I assume that Eclipse, Mylyn and Redmine are already installed, the latter somewhere in $REDMINE_HOME. Tested with Eclipse 3.7 and Redmine 1.2.1.
Summarily, you need to install an Eclipse plugin AND a Redmine plugin.
Go to $REDMINE_HOME/vendor/plugins and run
git clone git://redmin-mylyncon.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/redmin-mylyncon/redmine-mylyn-connector
(Re)start the server, and in Redmine under Administration/Plugins the Mylyn Connector Plugin should be listed
Again in Redmine, under Administration/Settings/Authentication, check the "Enable REST web service" field
In Eclipse, install the Eclipse connector via its update site
http://redmin-mylyncon.sourceforge.net/update-site/N/
Create your repository and check that it connects, then you are good to go!
See this manual.

As of july 2012 now there is a new dedicated Redmine-Mylyn-Connector under active development for Redmine 2.x! (Got to admit, I haven't tested it yet.)
I am in the process of testing the 1.x connector that can be found on sourceforge, I will edit this post once I am done.
EDIT:
The update-site for the mylyn-plugin from the link in the accepted posting works.
As well as the mylyn-connector for the redmine installation. (Tested with 1.3.2 installation, don't forget to restart the web server after installing it. ;))
But both things aren't working out... once the mylyn-connector is installed, the web-interface is not working anymore. ;(
EDIT2:
The special connector works with 2.x and Mylyn finally looks proper.

Will look like this.
As of yesterday, Sven has taken down the update site (if you go there, you'll find nothing) since someone reported him to Sourceforge (see https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3441532&group_id=228995&atid=1075435).
So, there are NO binaries available now for Eclipse. Does anyone know of alternative ways to get these plugins? I have no clue how to compile.
The GIT and SVN repositories are there, but again as I sad, I'm not a java programmer. Can anyone offer Sven a site where he can store the binaries as an Update?
