[DRE-maint] [Bug 624598] Re: Multiple instance of redmine does not work with passenger

[Ron Adams]

This bug happened to me. Can we get a backport for this, to save other
users the hassle? I'm on 10.04.2. It's a pretty trivial fix, so it
doesn't seem like it would be too hard to backport.

Title:
  Multiple instance of redmine does not work with passenger

Status in “redmine” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: redmine

  After setting up multiple instance of redmine with 
  dpkg-reconfigure redmine
  if they are accessed by means of apache + fastcgi everything works correctly, while if they are accessed by means of apache + passenger they do not work. In particular, the problem with passenger is that the first instance of redmine accessed by the browser will be the only instance accessible regardless of the URL used.

  I have attached the apache configuration that proves the reported issue. If you want to test it you have to:
  0 - install the packages redmine, passenger, libapache2-mod-fcgid, and libfcgi-ruby1.8
  1 - create two instance of redmine called redalpha and redbeta
  2 - add the line 127.0.1.1 redalpha redbeta to the file /etc/hosts
  3 - disable the fastcgi module and enable the passenger module by typing a2enmod passenger && a2dismod fcgid
  4 - copy the attched  file in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ and enable them with a2ensite redalpha redbeta
  5 - restart apache
  6 - from the machine access to http://redalpha/, login as admin and create a project called alpha-project
  7 - from the machine access to http://redbeta/ and you will see the alpha-project created 
  8 - enable fcgid and disable passenger by typing a2enmod fcgid && a2dismod passenger
  9 - restart apache 
  10 - from the machine access to http://redalpha/ and you will see the alpha-project project
  11 - from the machine access to http://redbeta/ and you will see no project at all

  As you can see from the procedure above the steps 6 and 7 shows the
  issue with passenger, which goes away as soon as fcgid is used (see
  steps 10 and 11)

  I hope it can help,
