cPanel + Redmine 1.2.1 – Pages delivered as text/plain when using rewrite

Well.

Bit more of a trouble than I wish to deal with today, but apparently Mongrel has changed somewhat in the latest version and doesn't deliver content as HTML, instead delivering it as text/plain (source html).

If you are using Mongrel to deliver your Ruby Apps, and you're sure your versions of gems meet the requirements - take a look at the below to try.

Add this file in, restart your application - and hopefully away you go. Again there is a lot of read/take in when it comes to dealing with this issue - hopefully I'm saving you about 1.5 hours of research. Original Source for the Patch I've forked..

Add this to redmine/config/initializers/mongrel.rb (create a new file)

# Pulled right from latest rack. Old looked like this in 1.1.0 version.

        def [](k)
          super(@names[k]) if @names[k]
          super(@names[k.downcase])
        end
      end
    end
