→Accessing Redmine through your main webserver
Redmine is a flexible project management web application. Written using the Ruby on Rails framework, it is cross-platform and cross-database.
[http://www.redmine.org Redmine] is a flexible project management web application. Written using the Ruby on Rails framework, it is cross-platform and cross-database.
This is a Howto of how I went about getting a basic installation of Redmine going on my SME server. I have now been using it for a number of months and am quite happy with it. As a matter of fact, I converted my existing Trac project environments to Redmine and have been using Redmine exclusively since.

The Redmine webservice needs a user to operate under and it needs an ability to access email for some of its services. The easiest thing to do is to create a new user 'redmine' using your server-manager panel. This users also needs access to a login shell.

== Importing Trac into Redmine ==
I has some success in importing existing Trac environments into Redmine as per the instructions on
http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/RedmineMigrate.
The biggest trouble in that process was getting hold of the right sqlite-ruby library for the migration script to access the Trac database (unfortunately I don't remember how I fixed that).
