Redmine 2.5.2 not starting after redmine_dashboard adding

[twkrol]

Hi
I have installed Bitnami VM with Redmine 2.5.2 on board. Then tried to install redmine_dashboard as below:

• git clone to plugins folder
• bundle install
  restart apache

then redmine is not starting, the following error is displayed (3 top lines from the list):

cannot load such file -- haml (LoadError)
  /opt/bitnami/apps/redmine/htdocs/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.0.0/gems/activesupport-3.2.19/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:251:in `require'
  /opt/bitnami/apps/redmine/htdocs/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.0.0/gems/activesupport-3.2.19/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:251:in `block in require'
  /opt/bitnami/apps/redmine/htdocs/vendor/bundle/ruby/2.0.0/gems/activesupport-3.2.19/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:236:in `load_dependency'
...

When redmine_dashboard is deleted from the plugins directory, then the redmine starts working again.
How to make it work with your plugin?
Thanks

Please see #24 for bitnami appliances. Such appliances usually do not have a regular install but some crude configurations therefore I cannot provide support for them.

Bitnami is known to have a separate directory for gems. Therefore you cannot just run bundler install but variants of bundler install --path vendor/bundle are reported to work.

Reopen this issue if it does not solve your problem.

Thank you for your response.
Troubles with ready-made stacks are common. Will install myself on clean Ubuntu.

If you're using Ubuntu Trusty or Debian Wheezy with backports you can also use the stock Redmine and the PPA for Redmine Dashboard for a clean, up-to-date Redmine Dashboard via apt.
