 +====== Redmine Quick Notes ======
 +
 +===== Debian Based =====
 +
 +Debian places redmine files in non-standard locations to make it easier to build a redmine server that can handle multiple instances. However, this makes it hard to find things. Following are some locations we may need to find.
 +
 +==== Plugin Directory ====
 +
 +/usr/share/redmine/lib/plugins
 +
 +==== Files (attachments, documents, etc...) ====
 +/var/lib/redmine/default/files
 +
 +I find this a pain for backups. I tend to back up directory trees, so you could back up /var/lib/redmine/*, but instead, I simply make that directory a symlink to someplace I already back up, like /home.
 +
 +<code bash>
 +mkdir /home/redmine_data
 +mv /var/lib/redmine/default/files /home/redmine_data
 +ln -s /home/redmine_data/files /var/lib/redmine/default/files

 +===== Receive E-Mail =====

 +
 +===== Import from other app =====
 +
 +I moved from OpenProject to Redmine. OpenProject spends more time on GUI than I wanted, and since it was based on Redmine, I just decided to install that. However, OpenProject **says** it exports, but never got that working. Redmine imports tasks only, but not projects, users, etc... (there is a plugin that may do it, but I did not try).
 +
 +Brief instructions on importing issues from a CSV. I did not try this.
 +
 +https://redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/HowTo_import_issues
 +
 +Project - must exist
 +Parent Issue - A number, IN THE SPREADSHEET (row - 1), or a pound sign followed by a number, which is existing issue # something
 +   So, if it has a 5, it will be the fifth issue in the import spreadsheet (row 6, since the header is on row 1)
 +   If it has a #5, look for the existing issue in Redmine with that issue number
 +   
 +Assignee - the login name or the first/last name of who the issue is assigned to
 +
 +Category - A category for it. May be in the list of existing categories, or my create a new one.
 +
 +Start Date = date, in YYYY-MM-DD format the issue was created
 +End Date = date, in YYYY-MM-DD format the issue was closed
 +Author - the login name of the person creating the project (defaults to user doing the import, probably)
 +
 +Subject - the subject line of the issue
