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
29
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
32
33
>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

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.

128
Symlink @/usr/share/redmine/public@ to your desired web-accessible location. E.g.:
129
130
> $ sudo ln -s /usr/share/redmine/public /var/www/redmine
131
132
By default, passenger runs as 'nobody', so you'll need to fix that. In @/etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.conf@, add:
133 38 Yu Kobayashi
134 36 Anonymous
<pre>PassengerDefaultUser www-data</pre>
135
136
You'll also need to configure the @/var/www/redmine@ location in @/etc/apache2/sites-available/default@ by adding:
137
138
<pre><Directory /var/www/redmine>
139
RailsBaseURI /redmine
140
PassengerResolveSymlinksInDocumentRoot on
141
</Directory>
142
</pre>
143
144
If you set your AppArmor mysqld profile to complain you ought to set it back to enforce:
145
146
> $ sudo aa-enforce /usr/sbin/mysqld
147
148
Enable passenger:
149
150
> $ sudo a2enmod passenger
151
152
Restart apache2
153
154
> $ sudo service apache2 restart
155
156
and you should be able to access Redmine at: http://redmine.server.ip.address/redmine
157
158
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.
159
160
> $ sudo chmod a+x /usr/share/redmine/public
161
162
h1. Ubuntu 10.04 or 12.04 using WEBrick
163

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

185
186

You can stop by this.
189
190
> $ sudo service redmine stop
191
192
h1. Ubuntu 10.04 using mod_cgi
193
194
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:
195
196
> $ sudo tasksel install lamp-server
197
198
Also, the default AppArmor configuration can get in the way, so you may need to set the mysqld profile to complain:
199
200
> $ sudo aa-complain /usr/sbin/mysqld
201
202
As of 10.04, Redmine is available through Ubuntu's package manager, and installation is simple:
203
204
> $ sudo apt-get install redmine redmine-mysql subversion
205
206
The second package, _redmine-mysql_, can be replaced by either _redmine-pgsql_ or _redmine-sqlite_ if you want to use either of those databases.
207
208
The installation process should prompt you for all the interesting details.
209
210
Redmine will now be installed in @/usr/share/redmine@ and @/etc/redmine@
211
212

h1. Redmine Installation on Virtual or Normal Ubuntu < 10.04
271
272
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.
273
274
h2. Step 1: Install Ubuntu
275
276
If you are installing on a non-virtual Ubuntu instance, please skip this section.
277
278
*Installing VirtualBox:*
279
280
1.Download the latest version of Sun VirtualBox (version 3.0.10 or newer).
281
2.Install VirtualBox by following the instructions.
282
283
*Installing Ubuntu on VirtualBox:*
284
285
1.Download the latest version of Ubuntu (version 9.10 or newer).
286
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.
287
288
3.While installing Ubuntu you should enter the following configuration:
289
(This suggested configuration is optional, you can enter any names you want.)
290
Q: What is your name? A: Redmine Server
291
Q: What name do you want to use to login? A: redmine
292
Q: Choose to password to keep your account safe? A: redmine
293
Q: What is the name of this computer? A: redmine-server
294
Choose “Log in automatically.” radio button.
295
296
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:
297
> sudo apt-get update
298
> sudo apt-get upgrade
299
300
*Configuring VirtualBox:*
301
302
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.
303
304
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.
305
306
h2. Step 2: Install Redmine
307
308
Once you have a functioning Ubuntu operating system up and running, you can continue with installing Redmine.
309
310
h3. Install dependencies
311
312
The following packages are required to install and run Redmine. Please install them by running @apt-get@ as root:
313
314
>sudo apt-get install package-name
315
316
where @package-name@ is each of:
317
* apache2
318
* apache2-threaded-dev
319
* build-essential
320
* libapache-dbi-perl
321
* libapache2-mod-perl2
322
* libapache2-svn
323
* libdigest-sha1-perl
324
* libgemplugin-ruby
325
* libgemplugin-ruby1.8
326
* libruby-extras
327
* libruby1.8-extras
328
* mongrel
329
* mysql-server
330
* rails
331
* rake
332
* ruby
333
* rubygems
334
* rubygems1.8
335
* ruby1.8-dev
336
* subversion
337
338
_(Could someone please clean up this list?)_
339
340
h3. Package Installation and Setup
341
342
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:
343
> sudo apt-get install
344
> sudo apt-get install
345
(_Surely some missing package names above?_)
346
347
The packages we’re installing above are MySQL, phpMyAdmin, Rails, Ruby Gems, Mongrel and Ruby Dev environment.
348
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”.
349
350
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:
351
> sudo mkdir /opt/redmine
352
> sudo cd /opt/redmine
353
> sudo wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/66633/redmine-0.8.6.tar.gz
354
> tar -xvf redmine-0.8.6.tar.gz
355
356
h3. Database Setup
357
358
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.
359
Type in “root” and the MySQL “password” you created when installing MySQL.
360
361
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”.
362
363
3.Now, go back to the home screen and click on:
364
“Privileges”
365
“Add a new User”
366
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.
367
In the “Database for user” section, check “Create database with same name and grant all privileges” and click on the “Go” button.
368
369
4.Log out of phpMyAdmin.
370
371
h3. Redmine Database Connection Configuration
372
373
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:
374
> sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/config
375
376
2.So now, assuming you’re in the “/opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/config” directory, issue:
377
> sudo cp database.yml.example database.yml
378
379
3.Then, open the “database.yml” file, issue:
380
> sudo gedit database.yml
381
… and edit it as in the example for a MySQL database below:
382
383
production:
384
adapter: mysql
385
socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
386
database: redmine
387
host: localhost
388
username: redmine
389
password: [password]
390
391
Then save the “database.yml” file and exit to the command prompt.
392
On Ubuntu the “mysql.sock” is located in /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock, as noted in the “config” above.
393
(The standard Redmine installation assumes the socket is located in “/opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/tmp/mysqld.sock”.)
394
395
4.Create the database structure, by running the following command under the application root directory (I mean “/opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6”):
396
> sudo rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV="production"
397
It will create the necessary tables in the redmine database you created earlier and an administrator account.
398
399
5.Insert the default configuration data in to the database, by issuing:
400
> sudo rake redmine:load_default_data RAILS_ENV="production"
401
(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.)
402
403
h3. Setting up Permissions
404
405
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:
406
> sudo mkdir /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6
407
408
2.If you haven’t created a Redmine user, do it now by issuing:
409
> sudo useradd redmine
410
411
3.Now, assuming you run Redmine with a redmine user, from your /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6 directory issue:
412
> sudo chown -R redmine:redmine files log tmp
413
> sudo chmod -R 755 files log tmp
414
415
h3. Testing the Installation
416
417
1.It should all be working now. Test the installation by running the WEBrick web server issue:
418
> sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6
419
> sudo ruby script/server -e production
420
421
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.
422
423
*Log in:*
424
425
1.Use default administrator account to log in:
426
Login : admin

h3. Setting Up Static IP
432
433
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.
434
435
2.Or you should determine the configuration parameters given below, and then you can configure your system to have a static IP address:
436
The desired IP address
437
Network mask and broadcast address
438
Gateway address
439
Your local DNS server address(es)
440
441

h2. Configuring the Passenger Apache module
446
447
Passenger is a module for apache2 that allows Apache to run Ruby on Rails applications. Install it thus:
448
449
>$ sudo gem install passenger
450
451
Then go to the passenger apache2 module installation directory and run @passenger-install-apache2-module@
452
453
> $ cd /var/lib/gems/1.X/gems/passenger-X.X.X/
454
455
> $ sudo bin/passenger-install-apache2-module
456
457
Next, configure Apache:
458
459
In /etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.load we will add next line
460
461
> LoadModule passenger_module /var/lib/gems/1.X/gems/passenger-X.X.X/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
462
463
We have to edit the conf of the passenger apache2 module in /etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.conf
464
465
> PassengerRoot /var/lib/gems/1.X/gems/passenger-X.X.X
466
> PassengerRuby /usr/bin/ruby1.X
467
468
And now we activate the module
469
470
> $ sudo a2enmod passenger

h2. Sendmail Server Configuration
518
519
1.Before configuring email support for Redmine, we should download the sendmail application for Ubuntu, issue:
520
521
> sudo apt-get install sendmail
522
523
> sudo sendmailconfig
524
525
(Answer Yes to all questions which you will be asked)
526
527
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:
528
> sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/config
529 37 João Lencart e Silva
530
531 36 Anonymous
532
3.So now, assuming you’re in the “/config” directory, issue:
533
> sudo cp email.yml.example email.yml
534
535
4.Then, open the “email.yml” file, issue:
536
> sudo gedit email.yml
537
… and edit it as in the example for sendmail configuration below:
538
539
production:
540
delivery_method: :sendmail
541
sendmail_settings:
542
location: /usr/sbin/sendmail
543
arguments: -i -t
544
address: smtp.example.net
545
port: 25
546
domain: example.net
547
authentication: :none
548
user_name: redmine@example.net
549
password: redmine
550
551
Then save “email.yml” file and exit to the command prompt.
552
553 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”.
554
555
h2. Email configuration for Ubuntu 12.04 with redmine >v1.4.3
556
557
1. Instead of creating an email.yml, edit config/configuration.yml and add a section
558
<pre>
559
production:
560
   email_delivery:
561
     delivery_method: :smtp
562
...</pre>
563
564
or
565
566
<pre>production:
567
   email_delivery:
568
     delivery_method: :sendmail
569
...</pre>
570
571
Please see http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/EmailConfiguration for the correct format of the full email block.
572
573
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:
574
@config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = false@

h2. Subversion Installation and Configuration
581
582
1.Before configuring Subversion support for Redmine, we should download the Subversion application for Ubuntu, issue:
583
> sudo apt-get install subversion
584
585
2.If your Redmine can't find the “subversion” command you can help to find by issuing:
586
· > sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/config
587
· > sudo gedit environment.rb
588
· Add ENV['PATH'] = "#{ENV['PATH']}:/subversion/path" line in it.
589
· Save and close the “environment.rb”
590
591
h2. Start Application at Boot Time
592
593
1.To automatically start the application on booting your server you need to modify your “crontab”, issue:
594
> export EDITOR=gedit
595
> crontab -e
596
597
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):
598
@reboot cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6 ; rm -f log/mongrel.pid ; mongrel_rails start -e production -p 3000 -d
599
600
h2. Backup
601
602
1.Running backups is always a good idea. Redmine backups should include:
603
* data (stored in your redmine database)
604
/usr/bin/mysqldump -u -p | gzip > /path/to/redmine/backup/db/redmine_`date +%y_%m_%d`.gz
605
* attachments (stored in the files directory of your Redmine install)
606
rsync -a /path/to/redmine/files /path/to/redmine/backup/files
607
608
2.Or you can use the bash shell to automate this kind of operation, issue:
609
> sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6
610
> sudo mkdir backup
611
> sudo mkdir backup/db
612
> sudo mkdir backup/files
613
> sudo gedit backup/runRedmineBackup.bash
614
615
And after open “runRedmineBackup.bash” with gedit, write all commands below:
616
<pre>
617
#!/bin/bash
618
data=`date -I`
619
mysqldump --user=root --password="redmine" --all-databases | gzip > db/backup-$data.sql.gz
620
cd db
621
ftp -i -n << EOF
622
open ftpserver.example.net
623
user username password
624
bin
625
mput backup-$data.sql.gz
626
bye
627
EOF
628
</pre>
629
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:
630
631
> export EDITOR=gedit
632
> crontab -e
633
Add 0 0 * * 0 cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/backup ; sh runRedmineBackup.bash commands to crontab to backup database weekly.
634
635
For this to work without any permission problems you have to change the permissions of the files to maximum, issue:
636
637
> sudo chmod -R 777 backup
638
> sudo chown -R redmine:redmine backup
639
640
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..!
