Inspired in "HowTo Install Redmine 210 on Debian Squeeze with Apache Passenger", from this same wiki, so meta-kudos, to the original authors.

h2. Assumptions
6
7
* We will be using redmine.example.com; so every time you see this below, replace it by your own domain
8 3 Julian Perelli
* For this to work maybe you shold edit /etc/hosts file adding a line "127.0.0.1 redmine.example.com"
9 1 Julian Perelli
* If you are behind a proxy, you could do export http_proxy="http://proxy.domain.tld:port" and the installation should work ok.

h2. Warming up
12
13
We will first need to install basic packages:
14
<pre>
15 5 ian stoddart
apt-get install ruby rubygems libruby libapache2-mod-passenger ruby-dev
16 1 Julian Perelli
</pre>
17
Download the latest version of Redmine (2.1.2 in our case) and untar it, then move it to /usr/local/share
18
<pre>
19 4 Julian Perelli
cd /usr/local/share/
20 2 Julian Perelli
wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/76495/redmine-2.1.2.tar.gz
21 1 Julian Perelli
tar -xzvf redmine-2.1.2.tar.gz
22 7 ian stoddart
ln -s /usr/local/share/redmine-2.1.2 /usr/local/share/redmine
23 1 Julian Perelli
chown -R root:root /usr/local/share/redmine-2.1.2
24
</pre>
25
26 2 Julian Perelli
Install development libraries for MySQL and Imagick:
27 1 Julian Perelli
<pre>
28 2 Julian Perelli
apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev libmagickcore-dev libmagickwand-dev (install shitload of packages)
29 1 Julian Perelli
</pre>
30
31
h2. Running the Gem stuff
32
33
Install Bundler (removing useless module, which would otherwise create dependencies):
34
<pre>
35
gem install bundler
36
cd /usr/local/share/redmine/
37 3 Julian Perelli
bundle install --without development test postgresql sqlite
38 1 Julian Perelli
</pre>
39
40 6 ian stoddart
h2. Creating the database
41
42
On a new installation you need to create the database and a user for redmine.
43
Open a mysql command prompt:
44
<pre>
45
mysql -u root -p
46
</pre>
47
48
At the mysql prompt enter the mysql commands:
49
<pre>
50
create user 'redmine' identified by 'redmine';
51
set password for 'redmine'@'localhost' = password('my_password');
52 11 Boaz Rymland
grant all on redmine.* to 'redmine'@'localhost';
53 6 ian stoddart
create database redmine;
54
quit;
55
</pre>

h2. Configuration
58
59 12 Boaz Rymland
Copy /usr/local/share/redmine/config/database.yml.example to /usr/local/share/redmine/config/database.yml and edit this file in order to configure your database settings for "production" environment.
60 1 Julian Perelli
Example for a MySQL database using ruby1.8 or jruby:
61
<pre>
62
production:
63 10 Roland Giesler
  adapter: mysql2      (note: For Rails < 3.1 use mysql instead of mysql2)
64 1 Julian Perelli
  database: redmine
65
  host: localhost
66
  username: redmine
67
  password: my_password
68
</pre>
69
70
Generate a session store secret:
71
<pre>
72 3 Julian Perelli
rake generate_secret_token
73 1 Julian Perelli
</pre>
74
75
Generate the database structure:
76
<pre>
77 3 Julian Perelli
RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate
78 1 Julian Perelli
</pre>
79
80
Generate default configuration data:
81
<pre>
82 3 Julian Perelli
RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine:load_default_data
83 1 Julian Perelli
</pre>
84
(using “es” for Spanish language in terminal prompt)
85
86
Setup config file in config/configuration.yml
87
88
Change database_ciphr_key: *******
89
<pre>
90 3 Julian Perelli
rake db:encrypt RAILS_ENV=production
91 1 Julian Perelli
</pre>
92
93
h2. Apache
94
95
Setup Apache’s VirtualHost config
96
97
<pre>
98
# 8080 in this case is because we use a reverse proxy before Apache. Otherwise simply use "*:80"
99
100
<VirtualHost *:8080>
101
 ServerName redmine.example.com
102
 DocumentRoot /usr/local/share/redmine/public
103
 <Directory /usr/local/share/redmine/public>
104
   AllowOverride all
105
   Options -MultiViews
106
 </Directory>
107
</VirtualHost>
108
</pre>
109
110 3 Julian Perelli
Once you enable this virtual host (a2ensite redmine.example.com) and reload Apache (apache2ctl graceful), you should see your site running on http://redmine.example.com.

The default login/password is admin/admin (don't forget to change this).
