These instructions assume that you have a basic Ubuntu server installation with command line access.  they assume that you have the rights to install a web server (Apache2) and a database (PostgreSQL or MySQL).  They also assume that you have the ability to carry out sudo commands and that you have at least a passing familiarity with the linux OS and file system.  Lines you should type in will be on their own line and will be preceded by a vertical grey bar.

h2. Become root or be prepared to type sudo before every command.

You can also save yourself a lot of time if you are doing a big install/configuration job by simply becoming 'real root' instead of typing sudo before everything by typing in either of these commands;

Both will ask you to supply your password again and then you will get a # prompt which shows that you are "root" and no longer have to keep typing sudo.

Be sure to check your /etc/apt/sources.list  You will probably want to comment out the "backports" and uncomment the extras and partners.  
24
25
>apt-get update
26
27
If you get any key errors for any of the repositories, you can fix them easily.  
28

A key error will look something like this:
30
31
W: GPG error: http://extras.ubuntu.com quantal Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 16126D3A3E5C1192

>gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 16126D3A3E5C1192
34
>gpg --export --armor 16126D3A3E5C1192 | sudo apt-key add - 
35
36
Note that the key (16126D3A3E5C1192) is the same in the error message, the key fetch request and the key import request.  What ever key you are missing can be fixed by through this process.

>apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade

41
h2. Have your web server and data base installed
42
43
Installing Ubuntu's entire LAMP stack also installs PHP as well as the PHP connectors for apache, mysql, etc. If you are using RoR, installing all of that is probably unnecessary.  As a general rule of practice, it is best not to install anything you don't actually need.  That which isn't installed is not a potential security hole.  The statements below will install apache2 and the proper database.

h2. Create your data base and your user for your redmine installation.

73 44 Recent Coin
There are a great many GUI's out there for most databases.  It is strongly recommended never to run your application as your "root" user on your database (e.g. MySQL root for MySQL or 'postgres' user for PostgreSQL).  There are also any number of tutorials on the creation of databases and granting of rights on them, so that it is really outside the scope of this document. These are pretty trivial to find on Google and if you are going to administer database driven applications its very advisable for you to become at least passingly familiar with SQL statements.
74
75
For MySQL:  CREATE 'user'@'hostname' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';  CREATE DATABASE 'myredminedb'; GRANT ALL ON 'myredminedb'.* TO 'user'@'hostname'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
76
77
For PostgreSQL: CREATE USER user WITH PASSWORD 'password'; CREATE DATABASE myredminedb;GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE myredminedb to user;
78
79 46 Recent Coin
NOTE for PostgreSQL Users:  You will have to set the postgres user password before you can connect remotely.  MySQL will force you to set this during the installation but Postgres does not. To so do:
80
81
>su - postgres
82
>psql
83
84
This will take you to the postgres database prompt.  
85
86
>ALTER USER postgres with password 'my-secure-password';
87
88
This will set the password.  You can now proceed to editing the postgres configuration files so that you can connect remotely.

Symlink @/usr/share/redmine/public@ to your desired web-accessible location. E.g.:
130
131
> $ sudo ln -s /usr/share/redmine/public /var/www/redmine
132
133
By default, passenger runs as 'nobody', so you'll need to fix that. In @/etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.conf@, add:
134 38 Yu Kobayashi
135 36 Anonymous
<pre>PassengerDefaultUser www-data</pre>
136
137
You'll also need to configure the @/var/www/redmine@ location in @/etc/apache2/sites-available/default@ by adding:
138
139
<pre><Directory /var/www/redmine>
140
RailsBaseURI /redmine
141
PassengerResolveSymlinksInDocumentRoot on
142
</Directory>
143
</pre>
144
145
If you set your AppArmor mysqld profile to complain you ought to set it back to enforce:
146
147
> $ sudo aa-enforce /usr/sbin/mysqld
148
149
Enable passenger:
150
151
> $ sudo a2enmod passenger
152
153
Restart apache2
154
155
> $ sudo service apache2 restart
156
157
and you should be able to access Redmine at: http://redmine.server.ip.address/redmine
158
159
If you receive a "403: Forbidden" error after setting up Redmine, the Redmine 'public' folder may have incorrect permissions set. The executable bit on the public folder must be enabled or you will receive a "403: Forbidden" error when attempting to access Redmine.
160
161
> $ sudo chmod a+x /usr/share/redmine/public
162
163
h1. Ubuntu 10.04 or 12.04 using WEBrick
164

Using Passenger is recommended for the heavy load server. But WEBrick uses less memory.

You can stop by this.
190
191
> $ sudo service redmine stop
192
193
h1. Ubuntu 10.04 using mod_cgi
194
195
The installation assumes that the web server and database are already in place, so you probably want to install the LAMP stack first if you don't already have it:
196
197
> $ sudo tasksel install lamp-server
198
199
Also, the default AppArmor configuration can get in the way, so you may need to set the mysqld profile to complain:
200
201
> $ sudo aa-complain /usr/sbin/mysqld
202
203
As of 10.04, Redmine is available through Ubuntu's package manager, and installation is simple:
204
205
> $ sudo apt-get install redmine redmine-mysql subversion
206
207
The second package, _redmine-mysql_, can be replaced by either _redmine-pgsql_ or _redmine-sqlite_ if you want to use either of those databases.
208
209
The installation process should prompt you for all the interesting details.

211
Redmine will now be installed in @/usr/share/redmine@ and @/etc/redmine@

h1. Redmine Installation on Virtual or Normal Ubuntu < 10.04
272
273
This page is a guide to installing Redmine on either a virtual or actual installation of the Ubuntu operating system. If you follow all instructions correctly you will have installed your Redmine server successfully in almost an hour.
274
275
h2. Step 1: Install Ubuntu
276
277
If you are installing on a non-virtual Ubuntu instance, please skip this section.
278
279
*Installing VirtualBox:*
280
281
1.Download the latest version of Sun VirtualBox (version 3.0.10 or newer).
282
2.Install VirtualBox by following the instructions.
283
284
*Installing Ubuntu on VirtualBox:*
285
286
1.Download the latest version of Ubuntu (version 9.10 or newer).
287
2.After installing VirtualBox you will create a new virtual operating which will be Linux type and Ubuntu subtype. If you don't know anything about VirtualBox and/or its usage please refer to Google.
288
289
3.While installing Ubuntu you should enter the following configuration:
290
(This suggested configuration is optional, you can enter any names you want.)
291
Q: What is your name? A: Redmine Server
292
Q: What name do you want to use to login? A: redmine
293
Q: Choose to password to keep your account safe? A: redmine
294
Q: What is the name of this computer? A: redmine-server
295
Choose “Log in automatically.” radio button.
296
297
4.When you've finished the installation, open up your new VirtualBox Ubuntu OS and open up a terminal (console) screen and issue these commands:
298
> sudo apt-get update
299
> sudo apt-get upgrade
300
301
*Configuring VirtualBox:*
302
303
1.If you want to reach your VirtualBox Ubuntu OS from a different machine, you have to configure VirtualBox Ubuntu OS's network settings to Bridged Adapter. So you can reach your VirtualBox Ubuntu from an internal IP address easily. Because it get's the same IP block as you from DHCP easily. I mean your guest and host computer is same IP block as different network client.
304
305
2.If you had assigned a static IP to your Network Consult by giving your static ethernet MAC address, you have to assign the unique MAC address your VirtualBox Ubuntu OS by Setting->Network->MAC address initialization box. By this MAC address, you can get a static IP easily or you can configure your Ubuntu system to not use DHCP, instead of that you can assign a static IP manually.
306
307
h2. Step 2: Install Redmine
308
309
Once you have a functioning Ubuntu operating system up and running, you can continue with installing Redmine.
310
311
h3. Install dependencies
312
313
The following packages are required to install and run Redmine. Please install them by running @apt-get@ as root:
314
315
>sudo apt-get install package-name
316
317
where @package-name@ is each of:
318
* apache2
319
* apache2-threaded-dev
320
* build-essential
321
* libapache-dbi-perl
322
* libapache2-mod-perl2
323
* libapache2-svn
324
* libdigest-sha1-perl
325
* libgemplugin-ruby
326
* libgemplugin-ruby1.8
327
* libruby-extras
328
* libruby1.8-extras
329
* mongrel
330
* mysql-server
331
* rails
332
* rake
333
* ruby
334
* rubygems
335
* rubygems1.8
336
* ruby1.8-dev
337
* subversion
338
339
_(Could someone please clean up this list?)_
340
341
h3. Package Installation and Setup
342
343
1.Once you’ve installed the VirtualBox Ubuntu OS and updated it, you need to install a bunch of packages that we will prepare the server for the Redmine installation. So, as root, install the following packages by issuing:
344
> sudo apt-get install
345
> sudo apt-get install
346
(_Surely some missing package names above?_)
347
348
The packages we’re installing above are MySQL, phpMyAdmin, Rails, Ruby Gems, Mongrel and Ruby Dev environment.
349
During the installation of the packages, when MySQL is installed, it will prompt you to create a password. Make sure you remember it. You will need it later to log in to phpMyAdmin. To make things simple you can set all passwords to “redmine”.
350
351
2.Create a new directory for Redmine. I put mine in /opt/redmine. And download the latest version of Redmine in to it with the wget command line downloader and extract it by issuing:
352
> sudo mkdir /opt/redmine
353
> sudo cd /opt/redmine
354
> sudo wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/66633/redmine-0.8.6.tar.gz
355
> tar -xvf redmine-0.8.6.tar.gz
356
357
h3. Database Setup
358
359
1.Now it’s time to create an empty database for Redmine. As you may have noticed, we installed phpMyAdmin earlier. phpMyAdmin will come in handy now. Head over to http://localhost/phpmyadmin. You should be presented with the phpMyAdmin login screen.
360
Type in “root” and the MySQL “password” you created when installing MySQL.
361
362
2.First, click on “Databases” then, at the bottom of the screen, in the “Create new database” text box create a new database called “redmine” and set “Collation” to “utf8_general_ci”.
363
364
3.Now, go back to the home screen and click on:
365
“Privileges”
366
“Add a new User”
367
Fill out the “Login Information” boxes. Call your user “redmine”. Make sure you remember password you create here. It will be used when you set up the database connection details in Redmine.
368
In the “Database for user” section, check “Create database with same name and grant all privileges” and click on the “Go” button.
369
370
4.Log out of phpMyAdmin.
371
372
h3. Redmine Database Connection Configuration
373
374
1.It’s time to configure the database connection. If you installed Redmine as I did above, then copy “config/database.yml.example” to “config/database.yml” and edit this file in order to configure your database settings for “production” environment. You’ll find the “database.yml.example” issuing:
375
> sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/config
376
377
2.So now, assuming you’re in the “/opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/config” directory, issue:
378
> sudo cp database.yml.example database.yml
379
380
3.Then, open the “database.yml” file, issue:
381
> sudo gedit database.yml
382
… and edit it as in the example for a MySQL database below:
383
384
production:
385
adapter: mysql
386
socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
387
database: redmine
388
host: localhost
389
username: redmine
390
password: [password]
391
392
Then save the “database.yml” file and exit to the command prompt.
393
On Ubuntu the “mysql.sock” is located in /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock, as noted in the “config” above.
394
(The standard Redmine installation assumes the socket is located in “/opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/tmp/mysqld.sock”.)
395
396
4.Create the database structure, by running the following command under the application root directory (I mean “/opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6”):
397
> sudo rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV="production"
398
It will create the necessary tables in the redmine database you created earlier and an administrator account.
399
400
5.Insert the default configuration data in to the database, by issuing:
401
> sudo rake redmine:load_default_data RAILS_ENV="production"
402
(This step is optional but highly recommended, as you can define your own configuration from scratch. It will load default roles, trackers, statuses, work flows and enumerations. While loading default data command prompt wants to given language selection by you.)
403
404
h3. Setting up Permissions
405
406
1.The user who runs Redmine must have write permission on the following sub directories: “files”, “log”, “tmp” (create the last one if not present). You probably already have a “tmp” directory in /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6, but if you don’t, create one now by issuing:
407
> sudo mkdir /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6
408
409
2.If you haven’t created a Redmine user, do it now by issuing:
410
> sudo useradd redmine
411
412
3.Now, assuming you run Redmine with a redmine user, from your /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6 directory issue:
413
> sudo chown -R redmine:redmine files log tmp
414
> sudo chmod -R 755 files log tmp
415
416
h3. Testing the Installation
417
418
1.It should all be working now. Test the installation by running the WEBrick web server issue:
419
> sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6
420
> sudo ruby script/server -e production
421
422
Once WEBrick has started, point your browser to http://localhost:3000/. Or, if you are using a browser on a computer other than the one you installed Redmine on, point your browser to http://192.168.1.10:3000/ (if that’s the IP address you gave your Redmine server). You should now see the application welcome page.
423
424
*Log in:*
425
426
1.Use default administrator account to log in:
427

h3. Setting Up Static IP
433
434
1.An easier method for configuring a static IP address is to use your local DHCP server to assign a permanent IP to the VirtualBox OS mac address. That way you will not have to do anything inside VBS. Consult your network administrator.
435
436
2.Or you should determine the configuration parameters given below, and then you can configure your system to have a static IP address:
437
The desired IP address
438
Network mask and broadcast address
439
Gateway address
440
Your local DNS server address(es)
441
442
h3. Assigning Host Name and Domain for VirtualBox OS

h2. Configuring the Passenger Apache module
447
448
Passenger is a module for apache2 that allows Apache to run Ruby on Rails applications. Install it thus:
449
450
>$ sudo gem install passenger
451
452
Then go to the passenger apache2 module installation directory and run @passenger-install-apache2-module@
453
454
> $ cd /var/lib/gems/1.X/gems/passenger-X.X.X/
455
456
> $ sudo bin/passenger-install-apache2-module
457
458
Next, configure Apache:
459
460
In /etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.load we will add next line
461
462
> LoadModule passenger_module /var/lib/gems/1.X/gems/passenger-X.X.X/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
463
464
We have to edit the conf of the passenger apache2 module in /etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.conf
465
466
> PassengerRoot /var/lib/gems/1.X/gems/passenger-X.X.X
467
> PassengerRuby /usr/bin/ruby1.X
468
469
And now we activate the module
470
471
> $ sudo a2enmod passenger
472

h2. Sendmail Server Configuration
519
520
1.Before configuring email support for Redmine, we should download the sendmail application for Ubuntu, issue:
521
522
> sudo apt-get install sendmail
523
524
> sudo sendmailconfig
525
526
(Answer Yes to all questions which you will be asked)
527
528
2.It’s time to configure the server connection. Copy “config/email.yml.example” to “config/email.yml” and edit this file in order to configure your database settings for “production” environment. You’ll find the “email.yml.example” issue:
529
> sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/config
530 37 João Lencart e Silva
531
532 36 Anonymous
533
3.So now, assuming you’re in the “/config” directory, issue:
534
> sudo cp email.yml.example email.yml
535
536
4.Then, open the “email.yml” file, issue:
537
> sudo gedit email.yml
538
… and edit it as in the example for sendmail configuration below:
539
540
production:
541
delivery_method: :sendmail
542
sendmail_settings:
543
location: /usr/sbin/sendmail
544
arguments: -i -t
545
address: smtp.example.net
546
port: 25
547
domain: example.net
548
authentication: :none
549
user_name: redmine@example.net
550
password: redmine
551
552
Then save “email.yml” file and exit to the command prompt.
553
554 37 João Lencart e Silva
5.It’s time to configure the “environmet.rb” configuration. Open up the “environment.rb” and change “config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = false” to “config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true” then save and close the “environment.rb”.
555
556
h2. Email configuration for Ubuntu 12.04 with redmine >v1.4.3
557
558
1. Instead of creating an email.yml, edit config/configuration.yml and add a section
559
<pre>
560
production:
561
   email_delivery:
562
     delivery_method: :smtp
563
...</pre>
564
565
or
566
567
<pre>production:
568
   email_delivery:
569
     delivery_method: :sendmail
570
...</pre>
571
572
Please see http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/EmailConfiguration for the correct format of the full email block.
573
574
2. **DO NOT CHANGE** environment.rb config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries. The correct way is changing configuration.yml and leaving the default config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries setting to false:
575
@config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = false@

h2. Subversion Installation and Configuration
582
583
1.Before configuring Subversion support for Redmine, we should download the Subversion application for Ubuntu, issue:
584
> sudo apt-get install subversion
585
586
2.If your Redmine can't find the “subversion” command you can help to find by issuing:
587
· > sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/config
588
· > sudo gedit environment.rb
589
· Add ENV['PATH'] = "#{ENV['PATH']}:/subversion/path" line in it.
590
· Save and close the “environment.rb”
591
592
h2. Start Application at Boot Time
593
594
1.To automatically start the application on booting your server you need to modify your “crontab”, issue:
595
> export EDITOR=gedit
596
> crontab -e
597
598
2.Your “crontab” file will be presented. This is the list of programs that start at certain times or at boot. Add the following to the “crontab” (all on one line):
599
@reboot cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6 ; rm -f log/mongrel.pid ; mongrel_rails start -e production -p 3000 -d
600
601
h2. Backup
602
603
1.Running backups is always a good idea. Redmine backups should include:
604
* data (stored in your redmine database)
605
/usr/bin/mysqldump -u -p | gzip > /path/to/redmine/backup/db/redmine_`date +%y_%m_%d`.gz
606
* attachments (stored in the files directory of your Redmine install)
607
rsync -a /path/to/redmine/files /path/to/redmine/backup/files
608
609
2.Or you can use the bash shell to automate this kind of operation, issue:
610
> sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6
611
> sudo mkdir backup
612
> sudo mkdir backup/db
613
> sudo mkdir backup/files
614
> sudo gedit backup/runRedmineBackup.bash
615
616
And after open “runRedmineBackup.bash” with gedit, write all commands below:
617
<pre>
618
#!/bin/bash
619
data=`date -I`
620
mysqldump --user=root --password="redmine" --all-databases | gzip > db/backup-$data.sql.gz
621
cd db
622
ftp -i -n << EOF
623
open ftpserver.example.net
624
user username password
625
bin
626
mput backup-$data.sql.gz
627
bye
628
EOF
629
</pre>
630
Then save the “runRedmineBackup.bash” file and exit to the command prompt. After creation of runRedmineBackup.bash you can add this bash script to run continually between specified periods. Issue:
631
632
> export EDITOR=gedit
633
> crontab -e
634
Add 0 0 * * 0 cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/backup ; sh runRedmineBackup.bash commands to crontab to backup database weekly.
635
636
For this to work without any permission problems you have to change the permissions of the files to maximum, issue:
637
638
> sudo chmod -R 777 backup
639
> sudo chown -R redmine:redmine backup
640
641
That's all. Now we have completely installed Redmine on our virtual Ubuntu OS and can reach it from any machine in our network easily. Congratulations..!
