Thank you for your bug report. I am not seeing this behavior in my personal redmine instance. Perhaps you can give me a little more information to help me replicate the problem. First, are you running one instance or more than one instance? In my case, I am running one instance (named default): root@mail:/usr/share/redmine# ls -la total 76 drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 Sep 6 11:07 . drwxr-xr-x 568 root root 20480 Sep 6 11:09 .. drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Apr 29 2025 app drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 6 11:07 bin drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 29 2025 .bundle drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Sep 6 11:07 config -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 129 Jul 7 14:03 config.ru drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Apr 29 2025 db drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Apr 29 2025 extra -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3776 Aug 25 16:15 Gemfile lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Aug 25 16:15 Gemfile.lock -> /var/lib/redmine/ Gemfile.lock lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Apr 18 2025 instances -> /var/lib/redmine drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Sep 6 11:07 lib drwxrwxr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 23 16:37 plugins drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Sep 6 11:07 public -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 255 Aug 25 16:15 Rakefile drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 6 11:07 templates I have one plugin installed: root@mail:/usr/share/redmine/plugins# ls -la total 12 drwxrwxr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 23 16:37 . drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 Sep 6 11:07 .. drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Sep 6 11:09 redmine_simple_captcha\ The plugin folder inside of the instance links to the plugin: root@mail:/usr/share/redmine/instances/default/plugins# ls -la total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 www-data www-data 4096 May 12 2025 . drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Oct 6 15:33 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 www-data www-data 50 May 12 2025 redmine_simple_captcha -> / usr/share/redmine/plugins/redmine_simple_captcha/ This works for me and survives upgrades. -- Soren Stoutner [email protected]
