Bitnami stack “Service not Available” SOLVED

2010-03-09T13:41:45+00:00

Posting as I’ve just solved this on my box:

You may get a HTTP 503 (Service Temporarily Unavailable) response when starting the Tracks stack, though the launch page works fine.

If this happens, check your installed version of ImageMagick. I had an old copy of ImageMagick installed elsewhere, removing it did the trick.

Discovered this by poking around the mongrel.log file.

Outlook Integration

2008-08-21T08:36:29+00:00

Thanks to the Tracks contributors for a great product.

I use Outlook at work and wanted a convenient way of turning mail messages into Tracks todo items. After a minor struggle with VBA, a workable solution exists.

This macro adds a new item to the right-click context menu which allows Tracks todos to be created directly from the Outlook application. It can currently set the Todo context and project, but does not deal with tags, ‘due by’ and ‘show from’.

I don’t think end-user developed Outlook macros were meant to be shipped around, but installation is not too painful in the end. The procedure is documented in the wiki, at:

All feedback appreciated.

2009-12-08T15:31:23+00:00

Hello all,

I am a basic PC user looking to install Tracks 1.7 on to its laptop computer.

I have been looking for a one-click full and easy set-up.exe type file for Tracks.
Is there one available ?

I am running Windows XP Pro, SP2 and my browser is FF.

I have downloaded the “tracks-current.zip” file from the web but the installation instructions for Windows are really not clear at my level of computer knowledge.

Can anyone help me with that ?

Thanks in advance for your help !

I’ve downloaded the files for 1.7, Now what?

2009-02-23T08:30:12+00:00

I’m a layman in programming. The link through which I found this software said this was a web-based program. What am I missing? I’ve downloaded the files, now what do I do to get it running? Can’t find the exe to start the install.

Restart Tracks every morning

2009-05-07T15:34:52+00:00

I have Tracks 1.7 installed on a Windows Server 2003 system using Apache and MySQL. I use it all day long. Then every morning when I come in to work I try to re-login to the server but I get an error. I have found the only way to fix it is to restart Tracks and Apache. The resulting log file is attached. Any Idea what is going on?

Regards,
Mark C.

P.S. - Why can’t you attach a text file or a higher resolution image?

Installation on Godaddy Server

2009-04-24T10:52:23+00:00

I have godaddy server, ROR already installed in my server. I have follow userguide ” http://getontracks.org/wiki/godaddy ” for integration in my server, but not working yet! I am trying to run last 3 days, I am feeling very disappointed with ROR.
When I am running - “www.xxx.com/tracks/public/” it shows me

“Welcome aboard — Getting started
Here’s how to get rolling:
1. Use script/generate to create your models and controllers

To see all available options, run it without parameters.
2.
Set up a default route and remove or rename this file

Routes are set up in config/routes.rb.
3.
Create your database

Run rake db:migrate to create your database. If you’re not using SQLite (the default), edit config/database.yml with your username and password.

“

Can anyone help me what I need to do integrate tracks (GTD) in my godaddy server.
I will very thankful to you….

Issues with Exporting in Tracks 1.7

2009-04-23T23:29:22+00:00

I have Tracks 1.7 installed in Windows Server 2003 using Ruby 186-26 and Gems 1.3.1. When I try and Export CSV actions, projects, and contexts I receive the attached error display. I also get a failure when exporting to XML but the message is different. YAML and CVS notes works OK. Any Ideas?
