Restoring redmine issues by email and svn - backup

We lost server with redmine.
Now we have old database dump and email notifications by redmine and svn history with descriptions (descriptions contains num of issue and some comment).
Does anybody know any way to restore some of lost information?

Well since i dont know for sure i`ve checked the manual page of redmine. Maybe you can create an repository with everything in there and than from there try to get all the datafiles to the right location on youre redmine server.

It`s a pity that there is no documentation about back ups or something else.
Good luck trying to fix it!

Subversion import via https not working

I installed Subversion on a rootserver running CentOS 6. Took me a while, but now I can access the repository using Chrome. I can add files (svn import at command line level), but only when specifying a file:/// path for the destination, https:// giving me "svn: The project archive was moved permanently to [...]; please relocate". I didn't find a single answer helping me with that particular error / message. So I don't even know what it means, what triggers it, ...
On my client I want to use UEStudio (UltraEdit Studio) which has built-in support for Subversion. When trying to do a checkout in UEStudio using the account I created when installing Subversion on the server it tells me "unable to connect to a repository at URL [...]" and also asks for a password. I saved username and password in UEStudio and can login using the exact same credentials in Chrome. The URL UEStudio isn't able to find a repository at is the same I use to browse my repository in Chrome. I'm puzzled!
So I need help setting up Subversion and UEStudio so they finally work together. I cannot offer more details because I'm not sure which ones are necessary. I already spent a couple of hours trying to solve this so I'm not sure what counts any more.
Please feel free to ask for additional details if needed, I'm happy to help!
This Stackoverflow discussion and pointing UEStudio to the x86-version (used x64 so far) of the Subversion client binaries helped, it works now! Also tried UEStudio again and it works as well!! So the problem was I didn't offer a project at checkout, but the parent directory (the repository itself?), as well as offering the x64 binaries to UEStuido.
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction, Robert!! :)

How to fix cpanel log in error?

My cpanel was working fine till yesterday. Today, when I tried logging into it, I got the following error "The filesystem mounted at / on this server is running out of disk space. cPanel operations have been temporarily suspended to prevent something bad from happening. Please ask your system admin to remove any files not in use on that partition".
How do I go about fixing this issue? I am a newbie at this and would be grateful if the solutions were explained in detail, preferably in steps and in layman language if possible.
Thank You!
The issue was solved!! I contacted the host company and they were able to fix it within a few hours.

Where to find logs for SVN and access them without root permission?

Seems like the current svn repo is locked. When I do svn up svn just stays there as if its hanged or something and no option from there except to kill it. Would help looking at the logs to see what's going on.
So where does SVN store it's logs and how to find where their location is configured?
Update 1: Found from the answer to a similar question that the logs are at /var/log/httpd but only root has access to that folder.
Is there an alternative to update the location of logs to go to a more accessible location?
If I have permission to use svn should hopefully have access to svn logs or atleast via .htaccess redirect for my folder to somewhere else.
Thanks.
I think you may find it at /var/log/httpd
Is there an alternative to update the location of logs to go to a more
accessible location?
No I dont think you can do that. You can perhaps create a seperate log file.
Check this:-
By activating an “operational logging” feature, you can ask
mod_dav_svn to create a separate log file describing what sort of
high-level operations your clients are performing.

MediaWiki: 500 Internal Server Error after authenticating

I've been trying to research this for hours now, and I can't find any related articles.
I have an installation of MediaWiki that is under SSL and uses an extension of the AuthPlugin to authenticate users to an external database upon their login.
If I access the wiki without being logged in, I can see the content that anonymous users would see just fine. If, however, I log into the site, the wiki is no longer available, and only brings up a 500 Internal Server Error.
I've checked the error logs, and nothing shows up there corresponding to the bad request.
On a staging server, I have the same codebase running under non-SSL, and I do not encounter any issues when logged in, so I'm thinking there might be something to do with tthe combination of SSL and the AuthPlugin.
Anyone out there encounter similar using extensions of AuthPlugin under SSL?
Thanks!
Start by turning on PHP debugging and logging, so you can actually see the error instead of having to guess what the 500 means:

I ran into this same issue for one wiki user after an upgrade. All other wiki users could still log in. My issue was due to the user using a skin that did not work. After changing the user's skin to Vector(default) he could log in again. I couldn't figure out how to change another user's preferences as an Admin, so I ended up running an update statement to the mysql database. Hope this helps someone else.

Using Bazaar to handle Website Versioning

I imagine this is a pretty basic question but I haven't been able to find an answer anywhere.
I develop websites. In the past I've handled all the live files manually and it stinks, of course. I've been hoping Bazaar could add some power and organization to the way we work.
Right now, I work with a local server on my laptop and want to gracefully push data onto the live server. Currently, I'm doing the following:
Local machine:
bzr push sftp://user#server/path/to/project/BZR/live
On server:
rm -r /path/to/project/live
bzr branch /path/to/project/BZR/live
Is there anyway to get the Local files live from the push?
Otherwise, is a branch to the live path correct?
Is there anyway to get Bazaar to just update changed files in the live path so that I don't have to delete /live each time?
Right now I have to manually edit .htaccess with each upload. If I didn't have to delete /live, I imagine I could tell bzr to ignore it and all would take care of itself.
Thanks for your help!

Check bzr-upload plugin, and also push-and-update plugin.
