h1. How to Install Redmine on Debian 9 (Stretch) I was having some trouble installing redmine because I am not an experienced Debian administrator! I used the talking points in several other guides and some googling to get these instructions together. 1. Install the pre-requisites for redmine and all its packages. > apt install gcc build-essential zlib1g zlib1g-dev zlibc ruby-zip libssl-dev libyaml-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev ruby gem libapache2-mod-passenger apache2 apache2-dev libapr1-dev libxslt1-dev checkinstall libxml2-dev ruby-dev vim libmagickwand-dev imagemagick sudo rails > 2. Install your database of choice. If installing another database, it's very easy! Just follow the instructions here instead: > apt install postgresql 3. If installing postgres, install dev. Use the version number installed in the previous step. > apt install postgresql-server-dev-* (See version in step 2 during install) 4. Choose a directory where to install redmine. I used /opt. You can use wherever you like, but you will need to update the following steps as necessary based on your desired install location. Install redmine in /opt > cd /opt > mkdir redmine > cd redmine Get redmine - use the download page and review the functionality that you need to determine the right version for you. I wanted DMSF, which is not yet compatible with the latest version. If in doubt, check it out! > wget http://www.redmine.org/releases/redmine-3.3.4.tar.gz Unpack > tar xzf ./redmine-3.3.4.tar.gz 5. Login as the default postgres user and create a new role and database. Use your own password )). > sudo -u postgres psql postgres > CREATE ROLE redmine LOGIN ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'your_password' NOINHERIT VALID UNTIL 'infinity'; > CREATE DATABASE redmine WITH ENCODING='UTF8' OWNER=redmine; then press CTRL-D to escape the shell. edit /etc/postgresql/9.6/main/pg_hba.conf and set postgres to trust : > "local all postgres trust “ > sudo service postgresql reload 6. Create the /opt/redmine/redmine-3.3.4/config/database.yml file with the following contents… > production: > > adapter: postgresql > > database: redmine > > host: localhost > > username: redmine > > password: your_password > Note that the spacing is important in this file! under the “Production” line, each other line must be indented by two spaces, not tabs. Replace your_password with the password specified above. Seriously, don’t use your_password…. Remeber to save! 7. Next, set up the database schema and load the initial database. > bundle exec rake generate_secret_token > RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate > RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake redmine:load_default_data 8.Do a quick test to verify that redmine is working using webrick. > bundle exec ruby /usr/bin/rails server -b your_ip webrick -e production And try to connect via browser to your ip:3000. Webrick is not for production systems. It is a good way to check things before getting started with Apache, though. 9. Next, let’s set up Apache. > cd /opt/ > sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /opt/redmine > cd /opt/redmine/redmine-3.3.4 > sudo chmod -R 755 files log tmp public/plugin_assets > sudo chown www-data:www-data Gemfile.lock 9.1 Create a symbolic link which points from the working directory of apache to the redmine public folder… > sudo ln -s /opt/redmine/redmine-3.3.4/public/ /var/www/html/redmine 9.2 Need to create a new vhost configuration… > sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/master.conf and paste in…. > <VirtualHost *:80> > > ServerAdmin admin@example.com > Servername hostname > DocumentRoot /var/www/html/ > > <Location /redmine> > RailsEnv production > RackBaseURI /redmine > Options -MultiViews > </Location> > > </VirtualHost> Then, run…. > sudo a2dissite 000-default.conf > sudo a2ensite master.conf 9.3 add this line to /etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.conf…. in the body of the document- not just the 1st line. > PassengerUser www-data run… > sudo service apache2 restart 10. Open your browser and navigate to: http://your-ip-address/redmine And hopefully, you're up and running.
