redmine 0.9.1 released

Hi Bitnami Redmine team,
I was wondering what the plans are on updating bitnami redmine stack to 0.9.1. What is usually the turn around time for this via an official installer after the Redmine team releases a new release? Do you also release an updater from 0.8.7 to 0.9.1?
Thank you for your great efforts.

Hi,

We will release BitNami Redmine Stack 0.9.1 very soon :) This is not an updater, but you cam import/export the data from your previous installation to the new one. The following guide could be helpful for you http://bitnami.org/article/how-to-backup-and-up…

Will there be a big difference from taking the .87 version to your .91 version? As in – I just did the upgrade myself, am I missing anything from using the new version?

There are some issues that we have fixed for this version:

• Updated Redmine to 0.9.1
• Fixed irb issue on OS X
• Fixed ImageMagick coders issue

Anyway you can update the Redmine files as the guide said.

(quotes) but you cam import/export the data from your previous installation to the new one.

how?

First things First! I love what your doing. Great Stuff. Just a quick observation. the default install from .8.2 0-0 is much faster a getting the the redmine front page much faster than .9.1 – This is using the default configuration with no projects in either install.

Hi,

You can import/export the database following the steps that you can find in the following how-to: http://bitnami.org/article/how-to-backup-and-up…

Not sure why it seems slower than the previous 0.8.2 version. Now it ships Ruby Enterprise and upgraded some gems. In the following page you can find a comparison report: http://www.rubyenterpriseedition.com/comparison…

@ScottR

me too find it slower.
I run a brand new windows XP machine. i had installed 0.8.7-0 stack one week back. was running fine. today i made a backup of the old stack as per the guide, uninstalled the program, installed the new bitnami stack 0.9.1-0. it is visibly slower. about two seconds on each click, while it used to be instantaneous earlier (on the localhost).

also, i tried restoring my old data, again as per the guide. now, when i login, i find that there is only one user (admin). and it lists all the news and projects in the home page, but when i click, it returns a 500 error.

thanks in advance for your help.

@ScottR

Have you also installed on Windows? We will check the performance.

@anandms

Could you access to http://127.0.0.1:3001? Could you post the last entries of Apache log file (apache2/log/error.log) and Mongrel log file (ruby/bin/mongrel.log)?

http://127.0.0.1:3001/ not accessible.

nothing unusual on apache or mongrel logs. but redmine is logging something (see attachements.)

also, last time i tried accessing from another machine in LAN when i got the 500 error. this time i tried localhost on the server. i got an Action Controller: Exception Caught (see attachment)

Hi anandms,

Did you run migrations after recovering your database? You can do this opening “use_redmine” from start menu and running:

cd <installdir>\apps\redmine
rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production

Let us know if it works for you.

Yes it was on windows XP box. I have an active install on another machine (0.8.7-0)-working fine. I exported the database/files etc. – Installed 0.9.1-0.on the new machine .(The default database worked, but as mentioned as very slow). Once I tried to import my old database I managed to get errors with pages not loading including either proxy errors of 500 or server capacity messages. * quick note I did observe at times double instances of gem.exe running in the task manager- not sure if that is normal.

What caused my first post was that I did the same process (importing the database with a new bitnami redmine install (0.8.7-0) and it worked like a charm- and much faster!(issue is seen when going t the serverip/redmine ) Right now I am in GEM update chaos trying to do an svn update to get to the latest redmine version….

Thanks,
Scott

doing a “rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production” gives me an error
bq. rake aborted!
bq. An error has occurred, all later migrations canceled:
bq: Mysql::Error: Table ‘member_roles’ already exists: CREATE TABLE ‘member_roles’………….

I followed the upgrade instructions..

$ mysql -u root -p
mysql>drop database bitnami_redmine; _removes the default _
mysql> create database bitnami_redmine;
mysql> grant all privileges on bitnami_redmine.* to ’bitnami’@’localhost’
identified by ‘BITNAMI_USER_PASSWORD’;
mysql> flush privileges;
mysql> exit;
$ mysql -u root -p bitnami_redmine < redmine_backup.sql

I then needed to modify my databse.yml file under the production settings (used root and the system password), in order to have rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production.

Everything is now working, but still slow in comparison to the previous build.

great work on 0.9.1 release Bitnami team. I might have to hold off on my upgrade till we get an official word on the slowness issue. I will be hosting on Leopard. Thanks.

thanks ScottR!!!

and thanks to the BITNAMI team!! I am now waiting for the slow database issue to be fixed.

Cheers

I have the same problem wih a slowness of new 0.9.1 Redmine from Bitnami. 0.8.3 Bitnami Redmine works very fast on the same PC.
Waiting slowness issue resolving. Thanks for you great works.

Hi ScottR, could you please tell us all the steps you did to upgrade? I´m also trying to upgrade from 0.87 to 0.91 without success… I´ve tried using the steps you said, tried using the Bitnami Guide… damn… Always stuck in some error…

For instance… what change you did in the database.yml?

Thanks!

hi giordano,

at what stage are you getting the errors?

@sairam71 I think that the slowness issue only affects to Windows users. On OS X should be faster because BitNami RubyStack ships Ruby Enterprise.

giordano.- I was using 2 different XP boxes – On my existing production box I followed the backup instructions. On the news box I installed the .91 as default, I Then placed that .sql file from my backup on the new machine in the c:\Docuements and Settings\ Administrator\Bitnami Redmine Stack projects>

mysql>drop database bitnami_redmine; _removes the default _
mysql> create database bitnami_redmine;
mysql> grant all privileges on bitnami_redmine.* to ’bitnami’@’localhost’
identified by ‘BITNAMI_USER_PASSWORD’;
mysql> flush privileges;
mysql> exit;
$ mysql -u root -p bitnami_redmine < redmine_backup.sql

when runing the rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production I was getting access errors so I edited the databse.yml file in \bitnami redmine stack\apps\redmine\config changing the values under the production: header.

Then I ran the rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production

This worked for me

Hi anandms, ScottR and everyone..

Thanks for the help! I managed to make it work with all help from you guys… I think some of the steps are not so very clear like when to have the services OFF or ON… maybe it is time to an update of the “Backup and Upgrade” procedure… I will try to repeat all the operations from Backup to Upgrade and post it here so everyone can comment…

I notice the slowness everybody is talking about… But also found something else strange…

Not sure if this is because I´m testing this new machine on Vmware, but every click I do in the Redmine page, the CPU goes to 100% with all load in Ruby.exe and after a few seconds, CPU load goes low again and my request is shown… but, next click I do, system returns “Internal Error”… I have to hit back on the browser, click again on the same request and then it goes again, High load on CPU and after few seconds.. there it goes.

Anyone experience this?

Thanks everybody!

Hello again guys..

I´ve been doing some tests and seems that the slowness problem it is related to the Ruby after all… After upgrading Redmine to 0.91 as I said before, I downgraded Ruby using the latest stable version for Windows (ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/binaries/mswin32/ruby-1.8.7-p72-i386-mswin32.zip) found on “http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/”.

Now Redmine is flying!

I don´t know if this will cause any collateral effects but so far found none.

Anyone up to try this little trick and confirm?

Cheers all!

Did you just overwrite the current ruby folder with the contents?

@Giordano Hot catch mate; Stop the Services first; then Just drag and drop the contents of the zip from THE RUBY SITE (http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/) into your ruby folder

Runs like shit off a shovel :o)

Hi,

We are trying to find the cause of this problem on Windows. If not we will ship the Ruby 1.8.7-p72 version instead of the new one in the next release.

Cheers.

giordano,

That certainly improved things! Thanks. I love the way this is designed! A simple drag and drop to change Ruby…too cool.

beautiful :)
thanx everybody

Thanks all for your feedback.

We will release a new version today with some improvements. One of them is to use the 1.8.7-p72 version of Ruby on Windows and Redmine 0.9.2.

Thanks all for the feedbacks! I´m happy to be able to contribute to this huge community :)

@pcdevils

100% right mate! Thanks!

@Beltran

I was looking at the fresh installation of Bitnami/Redmine 0.91 and saw that it is using:

ruby 1.8.7 (2009-06-12 patchlevel 174) [i386-mswin32]

Patch 72 was the latest I found to download… This one came from Ruby Site?
-————————

Just to inform, if there is anyone thinking about why not use ruby 1.9.1 instead… don´t bother, this fool here tried already! It doesn´t work! :)

Cheers all!
