Hi all,

I have just installed Redmine by the usual method of "aptitude install
redmine. I selected sqlite as the database. I have had Apache2 running
for a long time on my jessie system. Usually, I would expect to find a
listing in my application launcher. There is none. I have tried
systemctl redmine start. That doesn't work. The system monitor doesn't
show redmine running. I have done some google searches and followed the
instructions in the Debian Wiki to wit:
	
apt install libapache2-mod-passenger	
cp /usr/share/doc/redmine/examples/apache2-passenger- host.conf
/etc/apache2/sites-available/redmine.conf

edit /etc/apache2/sites-available/redmine.conf
a2ensite redmine.conf
service apache2 reload

Nothing shows up on the system monitor that would indicate that anything
- other than apache2 - is running.

Localhost/redmine gives a 404 error.

Help!

Not to be confused with garyr

The README.Debian file for a package is usually a good starting point.
That would be /usr/share/doc/redmine/README.Debian in this case.
Anything helpful in there?
I read the Debian.Readme file and came away confused. What is a "rake task". I could use a little more info as to what is meant by database instance. Does this mean that if I have projects A, B and C that each constitutes a database instance. Were did the X_DEBIAN_SITEID come from, or is it just a normal environment variable. I think someone needs to write a setup window for this one. I guess I want a program that works out of the box and don't want to have to fool around with a lot of command line stuff. I ditched exim because of the set up. I quit using several other programs because of the same thing. I'm not much of a hacker unless forced to be one under dire circumstances. Clear instructions (no assumptions) and setup windows could go a long way making open source software more usable.
Now that I have that rant out of my system, I will dig into the readme file more carefully. I still need to know what a RAKE task is and get some clarification on the meaning of instance in this case.
