[DRE-maint] Bug#570184: redmine: passenger support

[Antoine Beaupre]

Package: redmine
Version: 0.9.1-1~bpo50+1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

*** Please type your report below this line *** Hi... again,

For a change, I have something to give here. :) I have successfully made redmine run with passenger. The full crazy instructions I followed are here:

https://wiki.koumbit.net/RedMine

(They also include manual MySQL configuration I had to perform to work around bugs filed earlier, btw.)

More specifically, regarding passenger, I had to install the libapache2-mod-passenger package and setup the following Apache configuration:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName redmine.example.com

        RailsEnv production
        RailsBaseURI /
        SetEnv X_DEBIAN_SITEID default

        DocumentRoot /usr/share/redmine/public
        <Directory "/usr/share/redmine/public">
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
        </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Of course the X_DEBIAN_SITEID is not required if it's "default" but I include it since I got fancy and setup a non-default instance. :)

So that's it. I'm generally really satisfied with the package and I *really* appreciate having it in Debian, do not be mistaken. :) I hope me being thorough with the problems I find 
with the packaging will not be a problem to you.

Thank you for your time,

A.
