Redmine proxy error after hours of no use, fresh install

I have had this problem before with an upgrade from .8.7 → .9.1, and ended up having to have a script run every morning before people come in to wake it up.

I just recently installed this on a fresh win2k8 server, and your .9.3 download. This has the same problem.

It appears that MySQL and Ruby are timing out. Refreshing the page solves the problem.

Do you have a recommended fix for this?

Hi, have you tried this patch? http://github.com/wr0ngway/rails/commit/d269724…

no, is that just adding those 3 lines to that file?

where should this be actually added in the bitnami stack?

Ok..this patch did not work. What can I do to not have it crash every morning?

me too have the same problem :(

thanks in advance.

bumping this up.

Hi,
I installed version .9.3 and also have the same problem: Redmine proxy error after some of no use. After repeated request for this error does not occur.
This problem has a solution?

Hi,

Could you try adding “reconnect: true” option in “production” section inside ${installdir}/apps/redmine/config/database.yml and restarting the application ?

...
production:
  adapter: mysql
  database: *********
  host: localhost
  username: **********
  password: **********
  socket: **********
  reconnect: true
...

I’m having the same issue. I’ll try the database.yml addition suggested by carlos.

It seems like it worked! Thanks carlos.

Thank you, carlos.
It seems to be a solution for wery common issue.
I have spent about 30 mins while reading threads related to similar issues with no solution at end.
I advice to stick this solution to the top of the forum section or to convert your answer to FAQ, thus the solution could be googled quickly.
P.S. is there any reason not to be default value in next bundles?

Super!

Thank you…. :)

I am using Redmine 1.1.2.stable (MySQL) on Windows 2003 R2, on VMWare Server.
Proxy issue was present.
Carlos’ solution works!
