Introduction


Many users follow different tutorials found on the internet which may be outdated, or poorly written, guiding them to install Redmine as a root user or various other misconfiguration issues. Redmine version changes, underlying operating system updates, Ruby changes, Rails, gems, various required libraries, and sometimes any of just mentioned code changes can cause a Redmine installation to break. Luckily, there is an extensive list of logs that can be inspected and help administrators to resolve issues. Sometimes resolving issues is not easy due to the many variables involved in proper execution of Redmine code on the server machine.
