h1. HowTo Install Redmine on Debian 8 with Apache2-Passenger
Last updated: 4. April 2015
This HowTo describes installing redmine 3.0.1 on Debain 8 (April 15, few weeks before released as
stable) with Apache and MySQL.
*Hint:*
Run all commands as normal user. If root privileges required i used sudo.
h2. 1. Install Debain Packages
<pre>
sudo aptitude install mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient-dev gcc build-essential zlib1g zlib1g-dev zlibc libzlib-ruby libssl-dev libyaml-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev ruby gem libapache2-mod-passenger apache2-mpm-prefork apache2-prefork-dev libapr1-dev libxslt-dev checkinstall libxml2-dev ruby-dev vim
</pre>
h2. 2. Download and prepare Redmine
h3. 2.1 Download Redmine
<pre>
cd /opt/
sudo mkdir redmine
sudo chown -R $your_user redmine
cd redmine
wget $redmine.tar.gz
tar xzf $redmine.tar.gz
cd redmine-X.X.X
</pre>
h3. 2.2 Prepare MySQL
<pre>
mysql --user=root --password=$password
</pre>
<pre>
CREATE DATABASE redmine CHARACTER SET utf8;
CREATE USER 'redmine'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'my_password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON redmine.* TO 'redmine'@'localhost';
exit
</pre>
Redmine DB-Config:
<pre>
cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml
</pre>
customize config/database.yml:
<pre>
production:
adapter: mysql
database: redmine
host: localhost
username: redmine
password: my_password
</pre>
h3. 2.3 Bundler
install bundler:
<pre>
sudo gem install bundler
bundle install --without development test rmagick
</pre>
generate secret token:
<pre>
bundle exec rake generate_secret_token
</pre>
prepare DB and install all tables:
<pre>
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake redmine:load_default_data
</pre>
h3. 2.4 Test Redmine
replace $IP with your external IP:
<pre>
bundle exec ruby bin/rails server -b $IP webrick -e production
</pre>
Open your browser and visit http://$IP:3000
h2. 3 Apache
The apache service runs with the user www-data, so www-data needs access to some dirs:
<pre>
sudo chown -R www-data files log tmp public/plugin_assets
sudo chmod -R 755 files log tmp public/plugin_assets
</pre>
Link the redmine public dir to the apache root:
<pre>
sudo ln -s /opt/redmine/redmine-3.0.1/public/ /var/www/html/redmine
</pre>
The following VirtualHost config requieres control over your webserver.
Every Site under /var/www/html/ needs maybe an Location-directive.
We generate a new vhost config:
<pre>
sudo vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/master.conf
</pre>
and for redmine you need:
<pre>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin admin@example.com
Servername hostname
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/
<Location /redmine>
RailsEnv production
RackBaseURI /redmine
Options -MultiViews
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
</pre>
Disable debians default-vhost:
<pre>
sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf
</pre>
and enable the new master vhost:
<pre>
sudo a2ensite master.conf
</pre>
To avoid permission error the passenger mod needs to run also as www-data.
Edit /etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.conf and add this line:
<pre>
PassengerUser www-data
</pre>
after all restart apache:
<pre>
sudo service apache2 restart
</pre>
Open your browser and visit http://$IP/redmine
Finish.
