install redmine on Ubuntu 18.04 – Apache

I am trying to get redmine running on an Ubuntu 18.04 with apache.
I followed these instructions: https://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-and-configure-redmine-on-ubuntu-1804/
without any problems.

Apache is running and I can access the default apache page “it works” at: http://192.168.178.100/.
But if I try to open the redmine at: http://192.168.178.100/redmine_test I just see the content of the folder (public folder and Gemfile.lock). No website at all.

my redmine_test.conf looks like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
 ServerAdmin [email protected]
 DocumentRoot /var/www/html/redmine_test
 ServerName 192.168.178.100/redmine_test
 ServerAlias www.192.168.178.100/redmine_test

 <Directory /var/www/html/redmine_test>
     RailsBaseURI /redmine_test
     PassengerResolveSymlinksInDocumentRoot on
 </Directory>

 ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
 CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

sudo systemctl status apache2:

Edit:
If I test the installation by running WEBrick web server

bundle exec rails server webrick -e production

Everything works as aspected on: http://192.168.178.100:3000

    It seems to me that you are missing Passenger part of that tutorial.

    Redmine is Ruby on Rails based application, and in order to make it run under Apache, you need at least one of following models to deploy RoR application:

    1. Running via app server like puma, webrick, thin… and served through apache as reverse proxy
    2. Running via passenger as a module
    3. Running as a CGI

    In the tutorial that you have seen, it’s no=2, but in the Apache config that you submitted there seems to be passenger missing.

    Try enabling passenger with following command:

    sudo a2enmod passenger

    Apache ServerName and ServerAlias directives should contain symbolic (non-IP) values. So if you have registered some domain name you should use it.

    If you haven’t one, you can use any domain name you want (for development/testing purposes of course). Assume you choose redmine.dev, then

    1. Edit redmine_test.conf
    ServerName redmine.dev
ServerAlias www.redmine.dev
    1. Add to /etc/hosts on the box where you open the browser and point it to redmine.dev
    192.168.178.100 redmine.dev www.redmine.dev
    1. Point the browser to redmine.dev or www.redmine.dev and you’ll see Redmine interface.
