Overview of this book

In a variety of online project management tools, Redmine markets itself as offering flexibility. Choosing the right management tool can mean the difference between the success and failure of a project. Flexible project management tools bend themselves to fit your needs, whether that’s communication regarding a simple project, or collaboration, or more complex project methodology such as SCRUM, or an issue-code relationship, or the need of different methodology for your project. Whether you are project manager or system administrator, this book provides valuable recipes to get the best possible performance out of your team, organization, infrastructure, and Redmine itself. Through a series of carefully crafted recipes covering the nitty-gritty of Redmine, you’ll be guided through the installation of Redmine, as well as how to fine-tune and customize your Redmine installation. Finally, we walk you through integrating Redmine with other softwares and databases like Tortoise SVN and Visual Studio and troubleshooting Redmine.

Introduction


In order to actively maintain production of your Redmine installation, you need to understand a few basic things, such as how the database is used, what are application and configuration files, where user submitted files are stored, and whether there are some third-party scripts or processes, such as cron jobs, running. These four know-hows are the most likely pillars of maintaining most web applications apart from knowing the ins and outs of underlying server platforms, operating systems, and the programming language or framework that the web application is built upon. This chapter provides several recipes aimed at making sure that your Redmine installation is updated and working properly.
