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>

tar zxvf redmine-1.3.0.tar.gz
</pre>
h3. Copy the folder to its HTTP document root folder
<pre>cp -av redmine-1.3.0/* /var/www/redmine</pre>
h3. Configure Apache to host the documents

</pre>
<pre>bundle install</pre>
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>
