Redmine: rake error when installing

When I try to install redmine by following the procedure here:
http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineInstall

At step 4, I receive the following error:

[email protected] [~/rails_apps/redmine]# rake generate_session_store
WARNING: 'require 'rake/rdoctask'' is deprecated.  Please use 'require 'rdoc/task' (in RDoc 2.4.2+)' instead.
at /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.9.2.2/lib/rake/rdoctask.rb
Please install RDoc 2.4.2+ to generate documentation.
rake aborted!
Don't know how to build task 'generate_session_store'

Can you help me to solve?
Some infos:
RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.8.13
RUBY VERSION: 1.8.7 (2011-02-18 patchlevel 334) [x86_64-linux]
RAILS VERSION: 2.3.14

The installation documentation states:

Rake 0.8.7 is required (rake 0.9.x is not supported by Rails yet)

And from your question I get that you're using 0.9.2.2.

You'll need to uninstall the currently installed version of rake (use gem list to get the exact version number you have installed):

gem uninstall -v=0.9.2.2 rake

and install an older (supported) version:

gem install -v=0.8.7 rake

The Please install RDoc 2.4.2+ to generate documentation. is a warning message. You can ignore it.

Regarding the error: Don't know how to build task 'generate_session_store'

Just make the following file exists ~/rails_apps/redmine/lib/tasks/initializers.rake.

If not, make sure you've download all the files. Also, you always need to run the rake task inside the redmine folder.

[~]# cd ~/rails_apps/redmine
[~/rails_apps/redmine]# ls
[~/rails_apps/redmine]# =1.6  app  config  db  doc  extra  files  Gemfile  Gemfile.lock  lib  log  public  Rakefile  README.rdoc  script  test  tmp  vendor
[~/rails_apps/redmine]# rake generate_session_store --trace
Please install RDoc 2.4.2+ to generate documentation.
** Invoke generate_session_store (first_time)
** Invoke config/initializers/session_store.rb (first_time, not_needed)
** Execute generate_session_store

If you want to make the rdoc message to go away you can do the following:

  • If you have redmine's trunk version, edit ./Gemfile and add the following line:

    gem "rdoc", ">= 2.4.2

And then run bundle install.

  • If you have the latest stable 1.3.x version copy additional_environment.rb.example to additional_environment.rb and add the line suggested by RobinGower:
config.gem "rdoc", :version => "3.12"

And then run gem install -v "3.12"

Looks like you might need to update that gem: gem list rdoc will tell you what versions you have installed and you'll want gem update rdoc if you've not got version 2.4.2 or above. If you have got it installed (and rails isn't using it), you may need to add something like this to config/environment.rb:

config.gem "rdoc", :version => "3.12"

You can, of course, replace "3.12" with which ever version number you have.
