Redmine installer fails on FC7

Redmine installation fails with the following errors. I chose the default install directory, chose english, and skipped smtp configuration. Seems to be having a problem with creating a link to an Imagemagick library. Any ideas how to fix it?

Please wait while Setup installs BitNami Redmine Stack on your computer.

Hi gtm,

I installed on a fedora core 7 as a root user and I can’t reproduce this error. Do you have permissions to create symbolic links into the installation directory? Could you try to create an example symbolic link?

cd /opt/redmine-0.6.4-0
ln -s README.txt example.txt

Can you try to install BitNami Redmine Stack on another directory or as a non-root user? Thanks.

I tried already in a few different directories ~~- all as root user -~~ with the same result.

I am able to create symlinks manually – See the following:

ln s libWand.so.10.0.9 libWand.so.10

Figured it out. The machine (a xen partition) on which I was trying to install it had too few resources. I doubled it to 128MB of RAM and double that for swap space and it installed correctly. I’m not sure why memory issues would result in a symlink problem, but … now it works.

Hi,

I am glad to hear this. I don’t known the cause of this error, perhaps is a memory issue as you have indicated.
Thanks for your feedback, we have in mind to Redmine Stack requirements.
