h1. HowTo install Redmine on CentOS 5 or 6
{{>toc}}
h1. Assumptions
* Apache is up and running
* Apache has previously been used and works quite well
* MySQL is up and running
* MySQL has previously been used and works quite well
* Your are logged as root
* The next steps are done successively without errors
h1. Steps to take
h2. Install gem and passenger dependencies
<pre>yum -y install zlib-devel curl-devel openssl-devel httpd-devel apr-devel apr-util-devel mysql-devel</pre>
h2. Get Ruby
Things after *#* are comments, and it is no use to type this stuff in ;)
<pre>cd ~/Downloads # YOUR FOLDER OF CHOICE
ftp ftp.ruby-lang.org
</pre>
h3. FTP session
<pre>ftp> Anonymous # USERLOGIN
ftp> 'none', just hit Enter # NO PASSWORD
ftp> cd /pub/ruby
ftp> get ruby-1.8.7.pXXX.tar.gz # XXX is currently 358, as of 03/2012
ftp> bye</pre>
h3. Unzip
<pre>tar zxvf ruby-1.8.7.pXXX.tar.gz</pre>
h3. Install
<pre>cd ruby-1.8.7.pXXX
./configure
make
make install</pre>
h3. Check Installation
If this does not work, it is probably because there is no ruby at /usr/bin to be found.
If it works, skip directly to "Get Gems 1.4.2".
<pre>ruby -v</pre>
h3. Fix dependencies with a symlink
(Only in case _ruby -v_ is *NOT* working)
<pre>which ruby # TO CHECK WHERE IT SHOULD BE
whereis ruby # TO CHECK WHERE IT IS INSTALLED</pre>
_which_ returns like /usr/bin/ along with other directories (where ruby is expected to be), and _whereis_ returns like /usr/local/bin/ruby (thats where ruby actually lies).
Create the Link:
<pre>ln -s /usr/local/bin/ruby /usr/bin/ruby</pre>
Check again if it is working:
<pre>ruby -v # NOW IT MUST RETURN RUBY VERSION, ELSE SOMETHING ELSE IS BROKEN
cd ..</pre>
h2. Get Gems 1.4.2 (does not work with Gems 1.5)
<pre>wget http://production.cf.rubygems.org/rubygems/rubygems-1.4.2.tgz
tar zxvf rubygems-1.4.2.tgz
cd rubygems-1.4.2
ruby setup.rb
gem -v
which gem
cd ..</pre>
h2. Install Passenger (requires gcc)
<pre>gem install passenger
passenger-install-apache2-module</pre>
An alternate method is to install mod_passenger RPM for Apache from the following location:
http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/
h3. RHEL/CentOS 5
<pre>rpm -Uvh http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/rhel/5/passenger-release.noarch.rpm
yum install mod_passenger</pre>
h3. RHEL/CentOS 6
<pre>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>
h2. Restart Apache
<pre>service httpd restart</pre>
h2. Download Redmine
Download page: http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=1850
<pre>wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/75597/redmine-1.3.0.tar.gz # GET LATEST VERSION ON RUBYFORGE
tar zxvf redmine-1.3.0.tar.gz</pre>
h2. Copy the folder to its HTTP document root folder
<pre>cp -av redmine-1.3.0/* /var/www/redmine</pre>
h2. Configure Apache to host the documents
more information can be found here: [[HowTo configure Apache to run Redmine]]
h2. Install Bundler
<pre>gem install bundler</pre>
h2. Add the Bundler Boot and preinitializer code
For more info go to the "Bundler site":http://gembundler.com/.
h2. Create the Gemfile and register these gems in it
<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"
gem "coderay", "~>0.9.7"</pre>
<pre>bundle install</pre>
h2. Create the Redmine MySQL database
<pre>yum install mysql-server
chkconfig mysqld on
service mysqld start
/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation</pre>
h3. 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>
h3. 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>
Now MySQL user and rights should be set.
h2. Configure /var/www/redmine/config/database.yml
<pre>cp database.yml.example database.yml</pre>
todo: describe what to change there...
h2. Set the production environment (optional)
Uncomment the following line in file redmine/config/environment.rb:
<pre>ENV['RAILS_ENV'] ||= 'production'</pre>
h2. Generate the session store
<pre>RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake generate_session_store</pre>
h2. Migrate the database models
<pre>RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate</pre>
h2. Load default data (optional)
<pre>RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake redmine:load_default_data</pre>
Follow instructions.
h2. 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>
h2. Edit .htaccess file for CGI dispatch configuration
<pre>
mv htaccess.fcgi.example .htaccess
</pre>
h2. 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>
h2. Redmine should be fully installed now and fully usable
Enjoy!
