Autolaunching Redmine Stack at OS X boot

When I manually launch Redmine every thing is right with the world :) However when i use the following .plist called com.bitnami.redmine.plist in /Library/LaunchDaemons:

<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“UTF-8”?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC “-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN” “http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd”>


Label
com.bitnami-redmine.services
OnDemand

ProgramArguments

/Application/redmine-0.9.2-0/ctlscript.sh
start

Using launchctl to test it, the log shows the following:

Any suggestions on how to the fix this problem?

Thanks again

Hi,

The problem is that OS X services should be daemon process and ctlscript.sh is not a daemon script. When the script finishes, all process are killed. Try to create a different plist for MySQL like I wrote in this post http://bitnami.org/forums/forums/redmine/topics…

You can also create other plist files for apache “ctlscript.sh start apache” or for Ruby On Rails mongrel servers “ctlscript.sh start redmine”.

I hope it helps.
