Pre-install¶

Set the timezone

$ dpkg-reconfigure tzdata

Select your timezone and exit.

Set your hostname

$ sudo nano /etc/hostname

Enter your server name and save.

eg.

redmine

Map your fully qualified domain name (FQDN) to localhost

$ sudo nano /etc/hosts

Add a line mapping local host to your FQDN and hostname and save. 

eg. 

127.0.0.1 redmine.domain.com redmine

Redmine Installation¶

Install the LAMP stack
```
$ sudo tasksel install lamp-server
```

Install the required packages

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion libmysqlclient15-dev libdigest-sha1-perl libgemplugin-ruby libgemplugin-ruby1.8 libruby-extras libruby1.8-extras rails rake ruby rubygems rubygems1.8 ruby1.8-dev libopenssl-ruby1.8

Install the required Ruby gems

$ sudo gem install rails -v=2.3.11 --no-ri --no-rdoc
$ sudo gem install rake -v=0.8.7 --no-ri --no-rdoc
$ sudo gem uninstall rake -v=0.9.2.2 
$ sudo gem install i18n -v=0.4.2 --no-ri --no-rdoc
$ sudo gem install mysql --no-ri --no-rdoc

Download Redmine into /user/share/redmine directory

$ sudo svn co http://redmine.rubyforge.org/svn/branches/1.2-stable /usr/share/redmine

Create an empty MySQL database and accompanying user named redmine for example.

$ mysql -u root -p
(enter the mysql root user password)
> create database redmine character set utf8;
> create user 'redmine'@'localhost' identified by '[password]';
> grant all privileges on redmine.* to 'redmine'@'localhost' identified by '[password]';
> exit

Copy config/database.yml.example to config/database.yml and edit this file in order to configure your database settings for "production" environment.

$ sudo cp /usr/share/redmine/config/database.yml.example /usr/share/redmine/config/database.yml

$ sudo nano /usr/share/redmine/config/database.yml

Modify to the following and save (ctrl+x)

production:
  adapter: mysql
  socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
  database: redmine
  host: localhost
  username: redmine
  password: [password]
  encoding: utf8

Generate a session store secret.

$ cd /usr/share/redmine

$ sudo rake generate_session_store

Create the database structure, by running the following command under the application root directory:
```
$ cd /usr/share/redmine

$ sudo rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV="production" 
```
Insert default configuration data in database, by running the following command:
```
$ sudo RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine:load_default_data
```

Setting up permissions

$ cd /usr/share/redmine
$ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data files log tmp public/plugin_assets

Test using the webrick web server

$ cd /usr/share/redmine

$ ruby script/server webrick -e production

Point your web browser at http://[my server ip]:3000

You should now see the application welcome page.
