Andrius,

I realized that the previous email I sent to this bug did not expressly copy

Thank you for submitting this bug report with the associated patch.  I am 
sorry it took four years for anyone to respond to it.

In some ways, I find your solution elegant.  But I am uncertain how it would 
interact with setting up multiple instances.  And I am also uncertain that it 
is a problem that needs fixing, in the sense that by default no instance is 
reachable when Redmine is first installed.

If an admin has concerns that a new instance could be hacked before he can 
change the default admin password, then he can simply constrict the example 
Apache config files to only expose the new instance to a browser he controls 
during the initial setup, like localhost or a specific IP address.  
Alternately, it looks like it should be possible to change the default admin 
password via the command line before any instance is ever exposed via a manual 
apache configuration.

I have not yet tested any of these commands, but if it is a concern that the 
default instance initially exposes a default password, perhaps we should add a 
list of commands to README.Debian a user can run to change the password before 
setting Apache to serve up the Redmine instance.
