Project management software-redmine

(1) original project management software of the project team

Originally, the project team used VSTS 2005 for development management.

• Large and complex, using a dedicated server to build a TFS terminal;
• SQLServer2005 is used for database support. After the data is running for a period of time, the LOG file is large, occupies disk space, and the connection is slow;
• The construction of a project website is complex. Currently, only the development documents are saved for group browsing;
• I used to encounter two SQL Server failures. After recovery, I found that the code was out of order!
• I-Mails is used as the internal mail system and integrated with TFS for Success (it is because we are not capable enough to handle it)
• Rough bug Management;
• Project planning and control use of MS Project for integration, You need to configure the Project Server for portal service, too difficult, and cannot create sub-tasks
• A task cannot be completed by multiple people at the same time;
• During TFS migration, user ing, database backup, and other work are required, and the development work zone must be modified. After backup and recovery, the file name and content are inconsistent.
• ......
• There are too many reasons for VSTS to let me go.

So I started looking for another project management software.

 

User ing is also annoying, especially for project migration.

(3) install Redmine

Redmine depends on ruby on rails development. You need to configure the environment before installing redmine. You can download instantrails to install it. This allows you to build a redmine running environment (ruby, mysql, apache, etc.) more easily and quickly)

 

 

1. Download The InstantRails http://rubyforge.org/frs? Group_id = 904

Redmine http://rubyforge.org/frs? Group_id = 1850

 

2. decompress the InstantRails to a directory, such as: D:/InstantRails-2.0-win

This package is a Rails framework that includes PHPMyAdmin, MySQL, and Apache.

Decompress Redmine to the d:/InstantRails-2.0-win/rails_apps directory to form the Directory D:/InstantRails-2.0-win/D:/InstantRails-2.0-win/rails_apps/redmine-0.9.0

 

3. Run instantrails.exe under D:/instantrails-2.0-win. an interface is displayed to monitor the running status of Apache and MySQL.

(4) postscript

It is best for you to refer to the English installation help: http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/RedmineInstall

At the beginning, I searched for the installation guide from the Internet at noon. As a result, the problem was not solved in two days. The problem was solved in half a day based on the help step by step in English, and the Chinese language was also called up.

The software I downloaded is the latest version, and some environments need to be configured, suchRAILS_ENV = production rake config/initializers/session_store.rb ~

D:/InstantRails-2.0-win/rails_apps> gem install rails-v = 2.3.5
