mysql -u root -p

CREATE DATABASE redmine CHARACTER SET utf8;
CREATE USER 'redmine'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'my_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON redmine.* TO 'redmine'@'localhost';

Configuration¶

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.
Example for a MySQL database using ruby1.8 or jruby:

production:
  adapter: mysql2      (note: For Rails < 3.1 use mysql instead of mysql2)
  database: redmine
  host: localhost
  username: redmine
  password: my_password

Generate a session store secret:

rake generate_secret_token

Generate the database structure:

RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate

Generate default configuration data:

RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine:load_default_data

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

Database encryption¶

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

1. Copy the default config file /usr/local/share/redmine/config/configuration.yml.example to /usr/local/share/redmine/config/configuration.yml
2. 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.
3. Run:

   rake db:encrypt RAILS_ENV=production
