 rpm --import http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-stealthymonkeys.asc 
 yum install http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/rhel/6/passenger-release.noarch.rpm 
 yum install mod_passenger 
 </pre>

 <pre>vi /var/www/redmine/Gemfile</pre> 

 <pre> 
 # file: /var/www/redmine/Gemfile 
 source "http://rubygems.org" 
 gem "rake", "0.8.3" 
 gem "rack", "1.1.0" 
 gem "i18n", "0.4.2" 
 gem "rubytree", "0.5.2", :require => "tree" 
 gem "RedCloth", "~>4.2.3", :require => "redcloth" # for CodeRay 
 gem "mysql"

 h3. Create the Redmine MySQL database 

 <pre> 
 yum install mysql-server 
 chkconfig mysqld on 
 service mysqld start 
 /usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation 
 </pre> 

 > For MySQL: 
 > start the mysql client (@mysql -u root -p@) and enter the following commands 
 > > <pre>create database redmine character set utf8; 
 create user 'redmine'@'localhost' identified by 'my_password'; 
 grant all privileges on redmine.* to 'redmine'@'localhost'; </pre> 

 > For versions of MySQL prior to 5.0.2 - skip the 'create user' step and instead: 

 > > <pre> grant all privileges on redmine.* to 'redmine'@'localhost' identified by 'my_password';</pre> 

 

 h3. Configure /var/www/redmine/config/database.yml (rename database.yml.example) 

 

 h3. Set the production environment (optional) 

 Uncomment the following line in file redmine/config/environment.rb: 

 <pre>ENV['RAILS_ENV'] ||= 'production'</pre> 

 h3. Generate the session store 

 <pre>RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake generate_session_store</pre> 

 h3. Migrate the database models 

 <pre>RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate</pre> 

 h3. Load default data (optional) 

 <pre>RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake redmine:load_default_data</pre> 

 Follow instructions. 

 

 h3. Rename dispatch CGI files in /var/www/redmine/public/ 

 <pre> 
 mv dispatch.cgi.example dispatch.cgi 
 mv dispatch.fcgi.example dispatch.fcgi 
 mv dispatch.rb.example dispatch.rb 
 </pre> 

 

 h3. Edit .htaccess file for CGI dispatch configuration 

 <pre> 
 mv htaccess.fcgi.example .htaccess 
 </pre> 

 h3. Chown and Chmod files for read/write access for the Apache user 

 <pre> 
 cd .. 
 chown -R apache:apache redmine-1.x 
 chmod -R 755 redmine-1.x 
 </pre> 

 h3. Redmine should be fully installed now and fully usable 

 Enjoy!
