Congrats! Great work!

@prexpressions

Sorry for so many edits in my first post. I was kinda late here (little bit sleepy)… If I remember it right, you found the last piece of the puzzle by yourselft. At the end, when you finish migrating, you replace the .yml with the old one and restart the service.

See if it works. Cheers.

Topic: Redmine / Fresh install of RS Redmine - how to bring old db across

@prexpressions

My friend I will try to give you a step by step from the beginning and for this you have to have access to your old redmine running. I will assume that you have installed in the default folder, so from now on I will call it installdir .

1) Make a dump of the old database. Open the redmine console (installdir\use_redmine.bat) and run the following:

mysqldump -u root -p bitnami_redmine > redmine_backup.sql

This operation could take some time depending on the data size. Copy this file to a safe place.

2) Copy the folder installdir\apps\redmine\files and .yml files from the config also to a safe place.

3) Now in the new Redmine system open the console and do the following:

mysql -u root -p

drop database bitnami_redmine;
create database bitnami_redmine;
grant all privileges on bitnami_redmine.* to ’bitnami’@’localhost’ identified by ‘BITNAMI_USER_PASSWORD’;

the password should be the one you used in your old system for the administrator user

flush privileges;
exit;

4) Using the file you saved before:

mysql -u root -p bitnami_redmine < redmine_backup.sql

5) Now, from the console, go to the redmine folder and run:

cd installdir\apps\redmine
rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=“production”
rake tmp:cache:clear
rake tmp:sessions:clear

6) Copy the folder files to the new correspondent place and also the .yml files. Restart the system and should be all running good!

If you have a test machine, this is a good time to experiment this. Good luck!

Thanks ScottR, Beltran, Bitnami Redmine Backup Tutorial and everybody!

Topic: Redmine / Redmine Word Wrap ?

Ok Beltran, I think it was my fault as I failed to explain what I´m looking for…

In the “Issue” page, if I write a text too long in the subject field and I resize the browser window, the text goes along and wrap in to other lines… but if I do the same in another field that I have created, the text is not wrapped and there is a roll bar in the end of the list… This is not so helpful if you use 100 items per page.

I´ve attached a picture as example.

Any ideas?

Topic: Redmine / Redmine Word Wrap ?

Beltran, do you mean when I type the text into the description field when creating a new issue, it that the place I should put these tags?

Topic: Redmine / Redmine Word Wrap ?

@Beltran

Sorry for the ignorance but where should I insert this?

Topic: Redmine / Redmine Word Wrap ?

Is there a way of having a text wrap for 2 or more lines when you have long texts on Issues Page?

Thanks!

Topic: Redmine / redmine 0.9.1 released

Ok guys…

Just went again to the father of the dumbs (Google) and found this SITE and downloaded latest RUBY 1.8.7 Patch 249 I found there.

Now I have: ruby 1.8.7 (2010-01-10 patchlevel 249) [i386-mswin32]

Redmine is running smooth! After so many attemps, this seems to be the smoother one, although could be just my tired eyes!

I hope @Beltran sees this before updating Bitnami Package today!

Cheers all!

Topic: Redmine / redmine 0.9.1 released

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!

Topic: Redmine / redmine 0.9.1 released

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!

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!

Topic: Redmine / redmine 0.9.1 released

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!
