<pre>

rake generate_secret_token

</pre>

Generate the database structure:

<pre>

RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate

</pre>

Generate default configuration data:

<pre>

RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine:load_default_data

</pre>

(using “es” for Spanish language in terminal prompt)

If you want to encrypt your redmine database do as follows:

# Copy the default config file @/usr/local/share/redmine/config/configuration.yml.example@ to @/usr/local/share/redmine/config/configuration.yml@

# Edit configuration.yml and create a cipher key there for the environment you've used so thus far - production. Be sure to read the comment in this file. They are very detailed and there for you.

# Run: <pre>

rake db:encrypt RAILS_ENV=production

</pre>
