Don't use windows for rails. simple like that.

If you can help great!

If you can't, don't be a douche bag and tell me not to use it on windows.

"simple like that."

you are not going to get support by acting like you did, so, better try using another O.S. os just don't use chiliproject.

Its very surprising that you should say that Gabe.

I posted the above and no one has responded in past 14 hours.

No offense but what does that tell you?

Well, actually I don't see "FUCK U" as "no offense"…

I can tell you what it does tell me though: every contributor is here on his free time, if you expect some sort of guaranteed response time or whatever, well, I guess you'll be waiting for it for a long time. The other thing it tells me is: I know no one who will voluntarily answer someone as obnoxious as you have been in the first post of this thread.

Honestly, when I got the email to this thread, my first reaction was "what the actual fuck?" and I pondered editing the post and banning its author for him to cool down. I decided to sleep it over though and had decided on the next day to wait until the WE to have enough time to take a look at everything as the problem seems to be somewhat lengthy.

If you want a guaranteed response time and people that will happily help even when shouted and sworn at though, I'd recommend you to go and get something with paid support, you're not going to find it here and probably not in other Open Source projects either, Redmine included.

Dear Felix,
I think you have might have misunderstood my last line.
All I am trying to point out is that when I made my post title very offensive I received an immediate response but when I made my post title as simple as thin server, it was ignored. That's all I meant.

I started on the wrong foot here. Let's start over

My name is max, I am trying to run thin server on my system.And I received the following error:

Can you please help? :(

Ruby 1.9.3 doesn't work with Rails 2.3.14, try with a lower version (i think 1.9.2 will work, but better with 1.8.7, until the project migrates to Rails 3.0.x)

You will also need to install mysql2 gem file. I assume you already fixed the compilation issue on the first topic

I fixed the compilation issue but due to some stupidity on my part I had to delete all the files and data (including the database).

So now I can't get past

bundle exec rake db:migrate

I can't remember how I did it the last time.

At any rate, tried to run the above with 1.8. No success :(

I have mysql2 0.2.18 and 0.3

Still, unable get it up 'n' running.

EDIT:

It seems that if I don't load the command

bundle exec rake generate_session_store

and directly run the following commands

set RAILS_ENV=production
bundle exec rake db:migrate

and also place the libmysql.dll in Ruby\bin

NOTE: used the libmysql.dll from mysql connector-c 6.0.2

The script runs fine. :)

But I can't get the Thin server running,

bundle exec thin -e production -p 3001 start

or

bundle exec thin start

Error:

Since I am having so much trouble with Thin, is it possible to deploy chiliproject on WAMP server, if yes then HOW (please)?
And also, I want to modify the front page to require a user login before anything is displayed, which files should I tinker with?
And before I forget, in order to program chiliproject do I need to know Ruby and Ruby on Rails

Please Edit your Topic Title have Respect! be polite, "Thin Server and Chiliproject trouble" could be an option

I still dont understand what the hell is going on. Yesterday I was running CP on WEBrick, no issues.

Today, I don't know what the hell happened and I can't get CP started. To make matters worse I decided to reinstall Ruby,Devkit and CP, and now I am stuck at

bundle exec rake db:migrate

Installation Steps:

1. Install Ruby ( 1.9.3, tried 1.8.7 too with no luck), Unzip Devkit, Unzip chiliproject( rename to Project Manager).
2. Open Prompt, set to Directory "C:\Ruby\Devkit". Issued the following commands:

        a. ruby dk.rb init - OK
        b. ruby dk.rb install - OK
        c. gem update --system - OK
        d. gem install bundler - OK
        e. exit - OK

Note : All commands appended with 'OK' designate full completion without any errors

3. Open Prompt, set to Directory "C:\Project Manager". Issued the following commands:

        a. bundle install --without=test development - OK

        b. exit - OK

4. Open Prompt, issued the following command:

        a. mysql --user=**** --pass=****
        b. create database projectmgr character set utf8; - OK
        c. create user 'admin'@'localhost' identified by 'admin'; - OK
        d. grant all privileges on projectmgr.* to 'admin'@'localhost'; -OK
        e. exit

5. Open config folder, copy database.yml.example, paste and rename to database.yml. Modified as follows:

         production:
                 adapter: mysql2
                 database: projectmgr
                 host: localhost
                 port: 3306
                 username: admin
                 password: admin
                 encoding: utf8

6. Open Prompt, set Directory to "C:\Project Manager". Issued the following commands:

        a. set RAILS_ENV=production - OK
        b. bundle exec rake db:migrate - ERROR!!!

Note: Previously, I was able to run db:migrate without using:

bundle exec rake generate_session_store (I ran that command as well to but still no success)

ERROR:

       rake aborted!
       Please install the mysql2 adapter: `gem install activerecord-mysql2-adapter` 
       (193: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.
       - C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/mysql2-0.2.18-x86-mingw32/lib/mysql2/1.9/mysql2.so)

I already have mysql2 (0.2.18) and (0.3.11).

PLEASE do not ask/tell me to use Linux (or its derivative) because I can only deploy CP on a Windows Server.

Just to add that me too, I had lots of troubles installing Chiliproject on windows XP from scratch.
I rigoursly followed step by step the instructions but I bumped to many problems as described above: rmagick(never solved), different gems not installing, I end up installing them one by one. I spent hours and hours of research on google and found some of the necessary information on redmine website(!): e.g. replacing mysql dll

I got sticked to it because I really want to make this work, but i'm sure many just gave up at the installation step.

I'm not here to complain since I know it's opensource that this is for free and I should not have too much expectations.
But I think it would really help Chiliproject to get more users if 100% working installations guides are provided, I would really consider it a priority among some other tasks.

that said, thanks to the chiliproject team to give us a such useful tool!

Hey Paul,
Try these installations steps, they worked for me before but now they don't. But that doesn't necessarily mean they won't work for you.

Installation Steps For WINDOWS:¶

1. Install Ruby 1.8.7 to default (C:\Ruby187) http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/76277/rubyinstaller-1.8.7-p370.exe

, Unzip the DevKit to (C:\Ruby\DevKit) https://github.com/downloads/oneclick/rubyinstaller/DevKit-tdm-32-4.5.2-20111229-1559-sfx.exe

, Unzip ChiliProject to (C:\chiliproject) https://www.chiliproject.org/projects/chiliproject/files

2. Install RMagick, only the 32bit version works with ChiliProject
http://www.imagemagick.org/download/binaries/ImageMagick-6.7.8-6-Q16-windows-dll.exe

2a. Go to this link for gem dependencies
https://www.chiliproject.org/projects/chiliproject/wiki/Installation_on_Windows#Prepare-RMagick-gem-dependencies

3. Open Prompt, set to Directory "C:\Ruby\Devkit". Issue the following commands:

        > ruby dk.rb init
        > ruby dk.rb install
        > gem update --system
        > gem install bundler
        > exit

4. Right Click on My Computer->Properties->(TAB) Advanced->(BUTTON) Environment Variables

- In the System Variables section click on New and provide the following info:
Variable Name: CPATH
Variable Value: C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.7.8-Q16\include

(WARNING: Your path might be different from this)

- Then create another System Variable, with the following info:
Variable Name: LIBRARY_PATH
Variable Value: C:\Program Files\ImageMagick-6.7.8-Q16\lib

(WARNING: Your path might be different from this)

5. Install MySQL, if your WinXP is 32bit then get 32bit Version, if 64bit then get 64bit version.

And DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES FORGET TO LAUNCH "MySQL Instance Configuration" - You'll thank me later.

6. Now go to http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/c/
And download the zip file for the bit version you have installed.

-From the zip file, go to lib folder and extract libmysql.dll to C:\Ruby187\bin

Note: there are two versions of each bit version, one standard and one for Visual Studio 2005. I don't think it matters much but try the standard version first, hopefully it won't fail. But if it does, try the VS2005 version.

Cross Your Fingers¶

7. Open Prompt, set to Directory "C:\chilicroject". Issue the following command:

        > bundle install --without=test development
        > exit

If you did everything right, all the gems would be installed. And you would receive the notification of putting the libmysql.dll in Ruby\bin which was done previously.

8. Open Prompt, issued the following command:

        > mysql --user=root --pass=****
        mysql> create database chiliproject character set utf8;
        mysql> create user 'chiliproject'@'localhost' identified by 'chili'; 

                           Note: You can set any password you like, just don't forget it. Please :)

        mysql> grant all privileges on chiliproject.* to 'chiliproject'@'localhost';
        mysql> exit
        > exit

9. Open chiliproject/config folder, copy database.yml.example, paste and rename to database.yml. Modified as follows:

         production:
                 adapter: mysql2
                 database: chiliproject
                 host: localhost
                 port: 3306
                 username: chiliproject
                 password: chili
                 encoding: utf8

Note: No quotes are needed in this file.

Moment of Truth¶

10. Open Prompt, set Directory to "C:\chiliproject". Issue the following commands:

        > set RAILS_ENV=production
        > bundle exec rake db:migrate

Note: I skipped a step on purpose

      bundle exec rake generate_session_store 

This line is to be after set RAILS_ENV=production

- If everything went well, then you should see the script building the database.

- If it DIDN'T work then go to step 10. And include the skipped line after the set command.

- If including the skipped line in step 10, still doesn't do it. Then Welcome to the Club (Club Stuck on db:migrate) and it sucks.

11. Then issue the following command on the same Prompt:

        bundle exec rake redmine:load_default_data

12. Then issue the following command to check the website on WEBRick

        bundle exec ruby script/server -e production

13. Go to http://localhost:3000 to check.

if it works, CONGRATULATIONS.

Max zero these are my steps so far https://www.chiliproject.org/boards/1/topics/1420?r=1942#message-1942
which works instantly here, to get sqlite based chiliproject, give it a try and let know if it works, next try mysql or keep at sqlite

I still dont understand what the hell is going on. Yesterday I was running CP on WEBrick, no issues.

Today, I don't know what the hell happened and I can't get CP started. To make matters worse I decided to reinstall Ruby,Devkit and CP, and now I am stuck at

bundle exec rake db:migrate

Installation Steps:

1. Install Ruby ( 1.9.3, tried 1.8.7 too with no luck), Unzip Devkit, Unzip chiliproject( rename to Project Manager).
2. Open Prompt, set to Directory "C:RubyDevkit". Issued the following commands:
[...]

Note : All commands appended with 'OK' designate full completion without any errors

3. Open Prompt, set to Directory "C:Project Manager". Issued the following commands:
[...]
- The installer informed to add "libmysql.dll" to "Rubyin"
- Since I am using MySQL 5.5 - 64bit, I used the Connector-C 64bit dll.

[...]

4. Open Prompt, issued the following command:
[...]

5. Open config folder, copy database.yml.example, paste and rename to database.yml. Modified as follows:
[...]

6. Open Prompt, set Directory to "C:Project Manager". Issued the following commands:

[...]

Note: Previously, I was able to run db:migrate without using:

bundle exec rake generate_session_store (I ran that command as well to but still no success)

ERROR:

[...]

I already have mysql2 (0.2.18) and (0.3.11).

PLEASE do not ask/tell me to use Linux (or its derivative) because I can only deploy CP on a Windows Server.

i dont use or have tried to use rails on windows yet (and probably never will) so I cant give you any specific instructions to your platform, but mysql2 is a commin trouble library, and it have really specific versions for specific rails versions.

You should try to google for how to install mysql2 and which version to use, for rails 2.3.14 on windows. This may help you progress on your installation.

Dont forget to update instructions on our wiki, as doing so, you will help any other one who decide to go for the windows path.

I understand that you may not have an option about the OS, but I should warn you that windows is not a first grade citizen on rails world and will perform worst, will lack support, etc.

For personal growth, I recommend that in your free time, you start learning Linux and see how easier is to use rails with it

I think you have might have misunderstood my last line.
All I am trying to point out is that when I made my post title very offensive I received an immediate response but when I made my post title as simple as thin server, it was ignored. That's all I meant.

Yeah, you got exasperated responses that didn't really help you. If you just want answers, here's probably not the best place to post, if you want help, you'll have to accept that everyone's here on their free time, i.e. that you won't necessarily get answers in an hour or two, and that there's only a few people if any who use windows, so we're all making suppositions here, it's not based on knowledge.

For the record, I don't like obnoxious people, I equally don't like people trying to get attention by being provocative.

Now, back to reading the rest of this thread.

Ruby 1.9.3 doesn't work with Rails 2.3.14, try with a lower version (i think 1.9.2 will work, but better with 1.8.7, until the project migrates to Rails 3.0.x)

Yes and no. Rails 2.3 on its own doesn't support ruby 1.9.3, we've added the necessary workarounds to make ChiliProject work on ruby 1.9.3 though and will try to support 1.9.3 if it doesn't get too complicated. When encountering problems on ruby 1.9.3 though, downgrading to 1.9.2 to make sure the problem isn't related to ruby 1.9.3 is a good first step.

You will also need to install mysql2 gem file. I assume you already fixed the compilation issue on the first topic

The mysql gem doesn't support ruby 1.9 indeed, the mysql2 gem is needed on ruby 1.9 systems with MySQL. Actually the Gemfile in ChiliProject won't install the mysql gem on 1.9 under any circumstance.

I rigoursly followed step by step the instructions but I bumped to many problems as described above

The "problem" is that the windows instructions are community-contributed, i.e. we haven't tried them and don't have the time to do so. If you see things that can be improved or some notes you deem important, feel free to add them to make it easier for the next person using it to install ChiliProject.
