Looking for an open source web based software for project management

I have spend too much time ( in my opinion) trying to install redmine, and
migrate from trac, failing each time with a new error.
all the howtos i found did not work for me.
It seems little tweaks could solve it, like they forgot to mention i have to
cd to a certain directory, or they wrote 'RAILS_ENV="test"' while the only
thing working for me is 'RAILS_ENV="production"'
but still it fails while importing trac (msg: "can't convert NilClass into
time"), and i do not see the end of it (were the hell is all my data stored
? (i need to back it up), on what url on my browser i can find it ...) ...

So i decided to stick with trac, and just add some plugins ...
either trac is simpler, or i got to know it quite well...

cheers,
erez.
