I just started using redmine. I installed it on my local machine (Windows7 64-Bit). But I want to use it with other people. We don't have a server, but I have a webspace I can access via ftp. Part of the webspace is a MySQL-database, I could also use for redmine.
Is there a way to move (or install) redmine on that webspace?
I've e.g. installed Joomla by uploading the Joomla files via ftp. Than I could configure Joomla through a web interface. That is something I would hope for redmine as-well.
Thanks.
It depends.™
If your webspace supports ruby/ruby on rails, it might work. Sadly, most webspace offerings only support PHP.
You could check out Heroku if you are looking for a managed solution (they have free plan which might be enough for your needs) or get a small (v)server. However, you should know what you are doing if you're going to set up your own server.
You might wanna check out plan.io too, they offer hosted Redmine.

I just moved my domains over to GoDaddy without knowing that they pulled all Ruby support as of late last month and I kind of need Ruby for what I was planning on building. I've seen guides like this one that detail how to install Ruby through RubyGems on shared hosting. I made it through the guide but still wasn't able to load gems to my home directory.
Does anyone have any experience with this or any guidance? I guess doing it through RubyGems into the home directory isn't the same as installing on the server, so it should bypass the shared server restrictions. I just can't get any "gem" commands to run. I was probably screwing up the edits to the bash_profile, though.
I'm the head of Product for Hosting at GoDaddy and wanted to jump in.
We did EOL support for Ruby on our legacy shared platform (there were literally a handful of people using it) but the plan is that once we get the cPanel-based shared Linux platform up to where we want it we will reintroduce Ruby and even have support for Rails. ;-)
Right now we're not there but it is coming. I'm betting it isn't in the next month or so given the list of things we're working on for the core product but we will be supporting it in the not too distant future.

First, I don't know if this is the right place to make this question but, I don't see any other place where to put it.
I would like to know how could I develop a mobile HTML5 App (using PhoneGap) with another friend, without need to have a copy of the project in more than one PC.
Could I somehow host the Code on a FTP Server and then we both could work on it for example, on Eclipse?
You need to look into using a source control system of some kind. Source control comes in many flavors, but in general it allows software developers to sync code between many servers, and allows developers to work concurrently without breaking each other's environments (imagine I have to take a component offline for many hours to code on it, but other people rely on it to do their work).
The two most common source control solutions are SVN and Git. Both of these work on Mac/Linux/PC and are documented thoroughly online.
without need to have a copy of the project in more than one PC.
How should that be possible? When want to view view something on your local computer, you must have it available on your local computer. But I think I know what you are looking for, three suggestions:
Use a cloud-based IDE. Cloud9 for example is one of the best. However, all of them tend to be slow and buggy.
Just synch the files between your computers. One of the best hosted services is Dropbox, or you can install ownCloud on your own Server.
Use a version control system. This is pretty common for software development as you can easily reproduce who made which change when and why. The best option is git and Github for hosting.
I know this is months late, but check out Adobe's Phonegap Build. Build and deploy in the cloud. They also allow you to assign a development team.

The imminent death of iDisk is a bummer. I have used it for years to easily share files with clients without asking them to boot up their FTP software.
I am curious to know if there is a way to mimic iDisk's file sharing features through Lion Server. Specifically, the ability to share links to specific files and have them downloaded through a web browser. I miss the clean interface of iDisk through MobileMe.
I realize that there are third party providers like Dropbox and YouSendIt, but it would be nice to serve the files directly from our local server. I originally thought WebDav might be the answer, but it seems that's not the case.
You will have to install additional software to get that functionality. I've used and had good luck with Boxroom (http://boxroom.rubyforge.org/) but it requires Rails which may be too much work to install if you don't need it for anything else.
Searching for "open source php file manager" turns up a range of options which should work well on Lion as it has PHP already installed. I have also seen Java alternatives, some of which run on top of WebDAV, so it is probably best to start with the development language you are most comfortable with deploying and work from there.
Sorry I couldn't be more specific, my Mini is in transit so I haven't had direct experience with Lion server yet:)
Have a look at Storage Made Easy Mac client. It works a similar way to the original iDisk but also had sync capability. See: https://storagemadeeasy.com/MacCloudTools/ and https://storagemadeeasy.com/wiki/maccloudtools/. There is a native disk piece and also a sync like dropbox piece to the App.
I want to code pages in Ruby so that my website can be run in Ruby (just like I have a php install on my server).
What's the easiest way to go about this?
You can use Heroku and forget about Ruby server installation.
The answer to this question varies heavily depending on your operating system. But instructions for downloading and installing ruby on many systems are on the download page.
However, if you're planning on using it for a webserver, you probably also want Rails.

On the SVN Windows binaries download page, there are a few to choose from:
http://subversion.tigris.org/getting.html#windows
Are there pros and cons to the different versions provided by the different organizations?
Is there anything I should look out for?
Mainly, I just want something free that I will be running off my Vista laptop. Then I will probably do backups of the SVN files from time to time to an external hard drive.
We chose VisualSVN bec it makes it easy to use windows authentication instead of having a separate SVN user.
Other benefits is an easy to use GUI for permission management and for managing SVN hooks.
The one thing I'm not a real fan of is the web GUI. As far as I know you cannot view web based diffs, so if that makes a difference....
My friends who run a Windows shop speak highly of VisualSVN
I've just configured win32svn server according to this article by Jeff Atwood.
In contrast to VisualSVN win32svn is not so tightly integrated to Windows, orientated on terminal usage and open sourced under Apache License.
All of these solutions setup the standard Apache HTTPD server with Subversion integration. They do no real magic.
UberSVN and VisualSVN provide a pretty front end interface, but behind the scenes, it's just standard Apache setup. If you are not a CM, and don't want that to be your job, that's not a bad alternative. However, do not ever try to tweak the configuration behind their backs. They will either revert the changes, or really mess things up.
However, I use Apache httpd in order to access my Windows Active Directory. I setup my users, so their Windows account and password are their Subversion account and password. I setup a Active Directory Security Group or a Active Directory Exchange Group as my authorization database. If a user is a member of this group, they have access to the repository via their Windows login. If not, they don't have access. Clean and simple. I am no longer in the user authorization business which gives me more time to play Candy Crush ..I mean.. other CM work.
Otherwise, I might as well just use svnserve: It's faster than Apache httpd, much easier to setup, and more stable too.
If you're not going to use Active Directory as your authorization backend, you are technical, and don't mind getting your hands a bit dirty, I would use either play svnserve (and set it up as a Windows Service. No need for any of these packages.
If you are going to use Active Directory as your authorization backend (and why not?), I would use CollabNet Subversion Edge to help setup Apache httpd and Subversion and do all of my configuration manually. Setting up Active Directory via LDAP via Apache httpd isn't really that difficult, and once done, you probably never have to touch again. The documentation on integrating Apache httpd/Subversion/LDAP/ActiveDirectory can easily be found.
I suggest you look at the on line Subversion Documentation and go through it. If thinking about using the svn command line client makes you woozy, then get VisualSVN or UberSVN and let them take care of things for you. If you don't mind going all 1990 with your computer, then forget about the pretty front ends, and use CollabNet Edge.
One more thing, I am not a fan of ViewVC that comes with CollabNet Edge. It has to use file:// protocol and must run on the same server as your Subversion server software. Instead, I prefer Sventon. It can run on a separate server, and you can use the same credentials as your standard Subversion credentials. Plus, I like the interface a bit better.
Putting in a vote for CollabNet Subversion Edge, it's dead simple to set up and administer via a web frontend. I'm comfortable editing config files if I must, especially coming from a Linux environment, but it's nice not to be required to do so - CollabNet makes that easy.
We use an Apache SSPI module with the Collab.Net subversion server.
Has worked perfectly for us.
Try UberSVN http://www.wandisco.com/ubersvn/download#windows
The only downside is that is requires lot of server memory. Best free SVN server I ever tried. VisualSVN free version is OK as well.
