Hi !
I'm new to Redmine (and very enthused about what I've seen so far), and totally neophyte to all things Ruby/Rails etc. What I would like to do is install Redmine on a Windows machine that already has mysql on it, and have the redmine database schema & data live in the existing mysql database. From what I've read, I would have to install Redmine "clean" on the target machine and then migrate the redmine database schema onto the existing mysql database (that exists independently of Redmine on that machine). Can someone point me to the appropriate documents to consult, and if there is some additional advice, it would be greatly appreciated. I've tried to simulate this whole process on my laptop, but things go awry when I edit the database.yml file to point to the different host and port - can't get this to work, and the thin services just shut down. Perhaps I'm missing something else in the recipe.
Thanks in advance !
