Question

I just installed redmine and I would like to reach it from redmine.domain.com instead of domain.com/redmine.

I first tried to do this by myself with my few Apache knowledge but I got the following error:

So I looked for a support on the internet and found this page. I consequently adapted my Apache configuration file:

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName  redmine.mydomain.com
    ServerAdmin [e-mail]
    DocumentRoot /var/www/redmine

    <Directory /var/www/redmine>
        Allow from all
        Options -MultiViews
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
    LogLevel warn
    CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/ssl_access.log combined

    SSLEngine on
    SSLCertificateFile    /etc/ssl/private/redmine.mydomain.com.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/private/redmine.mydomain.com.key
</VirtualHost>
</IfModule>

And made some check ups, all seems good. However, when I go to my redmine.mydomain.com I see the hierarchy of /usr/share/redmine/public.

To cite from the page you linked to:

The virtual host’s document root must point to your Rack application’s public folder.

Thus, you have to configure Apache’s DocumentRoot to point to /var/www/redmine/public.
