h2. 3 Apache
96 1 Dirk Abe
97
The apache service runs with the user www-data, so www-data needs access to some dirs:
98
99
<pre>
100
sudo chown -R www-data files log tmp public/plugin_assets
101
sudo chmod -R 755 files log tmp public/plugin_assets
102
</pre>
103
104
Link the redmine public dir to the apache root:
105
106
<pre>
107
sudo ln -s /opt/redmine/redmine-3.0.1/public/ /var/www/html/redmine
108
</pre>
109
110
The following VirtualHost config requieres control over your webserver.
111
Every Site under /var/www/html/ needs maybe an Location-directive.
112
113
We generate a new vhost config:
114
<pre>
115
sudo vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/master.conf
116
</pre>
117
118
and for redmine you need:
119
120
<pre>
121
<VirtualHost *:80>
122
123
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
124
Servername hostname
125
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/
126
127
        <Location /redmine>
128
                RailsEnv production
129
                RackBaseURI /redmine
130
                Options -MultiViews
131
        </Location>
132
133
</VirtualHost>
134
</pre>
135
136
Disable debians default-vhost:
137
<pre>
138
sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf
139
</pre>
140
141
and enable the new master vhost:
142
<pre>
143
sudo a2ensite master.conf
144
</pre>
145
146
reload apache:
147
<pre>
148
sudo service apache2 reload
149
</pre>
150
151
Open your browser and visit http://$IP/redmine
152
Finish.
