Supported Redmine Versions

Redmine 2.x

We have successfully used Redsun 1.0.3 with Redmine 2.3-2.6.

Redmine 3.x

Please use Redsun >= 1.0.4 if you are using Redmine 3.x

Basic Installation

We recommend to test this plugin locally. There is a solrconfig.xml and schema.xml for Solr 4.x in the config folder of the plugin. Please use these files for your Solr server to get running. Also: For the spellchecker feature to work properly the Solr index has to be optimized. You can do this on the Solr admin interface or on the Rails console with Sunspot.optimize.

• cd into your redmine root folder
• cd plugins
• git clone git@github.com:dkd/redsun.git redmine_redsun
• run bundle install
• rails generate sunspot_rails:install
• bundle exec rake sunspot:solr:start
• bundle exec rake sunspot:solr:reindex
• restart Redmine
• enable Redsun within the plugin’s settings section
