When I log into redmine it forgets that I was logged after first click on any link or immediately after the login redirect. After I refresh the page a few times, I am still logged in in some of this refereshes.

NOTE: There is no login error. The _redmine_session cookie is present.

This reminded me of the situation where you have multiple nodes behind a load balancer and they don't share the same sessions storage so I decreased the number of uWSGI processes to 1 and voila - it works as expected.

It's strange because supposedly redmine stores its session in cookies now, so no shared storage is used at all.

I would like to have more processes for performance reasons. And I'm simply curious what's goin on. I'm new to deploying ruby apps (I don't do ruby at all so I don't know the whole ecosystem yet).

I'm using:

• CentOS 6.3
• redmine 2.2.3
• ruby 1.8.7
• uWSGI 1.4.8 with rack plugin linked in statically

My uWSGI .ini file for redmine: (note that the problem manifests itself only if processes > 1)

[uwsgi]
socket = 127.0.0.1:3032
master = true
processes = 1
post-buffering = 4096
env = RAILS_ENV=production
logto = /var/log/uwsgi/redmine.log
uid = dsh
gid = nginx
rack = /home/dsh/redmine/config.ru

I'm not sure if this question belongs here or StackOverflow...

Some time ago I wrote a web app using Zend Framework and since then it ran flawlessly on a standard shared hosting (lampp stack). I bought a VPS and set up a few sites without a problem using NGINX and PHP-FPM. I decided to migrate the mentioned site to the new server - ZF doesn't render layout or any templates. It just prints the layout.phtml file without interpreting the code in it. There aren't any errors in the logs. The version in Zend/Version.php says '1.7.1'.

The first thing that comes to mind is the version of PHP but it is 5.x - the same that was running on the shared hosting. I'm completely clueless here.

Should I upgrade to latest ZF? What would you do to debug it?
