Finally I took the time to resolve this issue: I really like the redmine issue tracker, but to avoid getting too many different appkication servers that I have to manage, I wanted to run it in the Apache Tomcat Java Servlet container.

There where some tutorials about this, but they where all really old - the "newest" one more than a year old by now.

But things where really easy, even easier as described in the tutorials, only a few simple steps:

Tested with redmine version 0.8.0 and 0.8.

I just fiddled this out after I accidentally deleted the content of my /boot partition on a UBuntu Jaunty system that I installed with an encrypted LVM root and home volumes. Although the problem occured just with a play and testing system which I had a full backup off, and could have easily recovered or reinstalled, I was curious about how to solve this problem - just in case it will happen to me some day when I can not just throw away the inaccessible system (whichg now, that I know how to solve it, will never happen ;) ).

It turned out to be a bit tricky.

PHP.

It is very easy to understand, and supereasy to write web software with very little knowledge about tje surroundings and with very little setup. It is very well documented, in a central location and in an easy understandable structure. My first programming language.

Perl.

Extremely powerful and simple use and achieve a lot with little work. Once you really know it.

Habe gestern ein bisschen mit dem Glassfisch Webspace Server rumgespielt.

Ganz nette Idee, aber auch ganz schön komplex das Ding.
