the site is wrong.

Sidon, I also have my sites in Dreamhost and this week I installed  
Redmine to test it. It was a little tricky but I made it work.

You can check in my blog the steps (in spanish) I followed to install  
it.

```
http://www.jorgeivanmeza.com/blog/2008/03/24/instalacion-de-redmine-064-en-un-host-compartido/

```

I am not experimented with RoR but let me know if you need further  
help to installing Redmine.

By the way, I installed the package outside the public directory and I  
linked the /public directory to my domain letting me access the  
Redmine application using [http://domain.com/redmine](http://domain.com/redmine) avoiding to expose  
the whole Redmine tree as you have it in this moment under  
[http://www.rause.com.br/redmine/](http://www.rause.com.br/redmine/).

Good luck.

Sidon,

You should definitely point your domain to the /public directory &  
change your mysql password asap.  
Your current setup exposes the database.yml which anyone can read to  
get access to your database server.  
Since the database server probably hosts more than one database, your  
other sites are now also compromised.

Cheers

that should fix your installation, and any future installation of ruby  
apps

Hey… This is urgent… SECURITY

Take a look at your redmine installation, at the config

[http://www.rause.com.br/redmine/config/database.yml](http://www.rause.com.br/redmine/config/database.yml)

It shows your database information  
make an index.html file and put it in that folder
