h1. Installing Redmine on OS X 10.9 Mavericks Server
This is a quick summary of the necessary steps for a simple install of Redmine on Apple OS X Mavericks Server 10.9. This is slightly different from the install for [[RedmineInstallOSXServer|Snow Leopard Server]]. This is meant only as a supplement, not a replacement, to the official install guide found [[RedmineInstall|here]].
h2. Install Prerequisites
*Xcode 5 and MySQL Server*
Get Xcode 5 from the Mac App Store or register for a free account and download from: https://developer.apple.com/downloads/
Next, install the command line-tools via Terminal:
<pre>xcode-select install</pre>
Then install MySQL Community Server - get it from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql (get the Mac OS X 10.7 64-bit DMG archive).
It will install a nifty little preference pane to start and stop the MySQL server.
Because the installer doesn't set a root password during the installation, you've got to set it with mysqladmin:
<pre>mysqladmin -u root password "newpwd"</pre>
Next, login to mysql and create the database:
<pre>mysql -u root -p</pre>
<pre>CREATE DATABASE redmine CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci</pre>
Grant _root_ user full privileges on the database:
<pre>GRANT ALL PRIVLEGES ON redmine.* TO root@localhost IDENTIFIED BY password;</pre>
The Redmine installer expects the MySQL client library in a different place, so you need to create a symbolic link to the original location:
<pre>sudo ln -s /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.18.dylib /usr/lib/libmysqlclienrt.18.dylib</pre>
*Redmine Prerequisites*
Redmine is built on Ruby which comes with Xcode, but some gems are missing:
<pre>sudo gem install rails bundler passenger</pre>
Next, use passenger to build the apache2-passenger module:
<pre>sudo passenger-install-apache2-module</pre>
This will output three lines of code that you'll have to add to your Apache configuration - in OS X Mavericks it's necessary to edit two files:
<pre>/Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/httpd_server_app.conf</pre>
and
<pre>/private/etc/httpd.conf</pre>
Simply add the lines to the end of your Apache configuration files.
Finally, OS X Mavericks has a problem to install the rmagick gem which is optional for a successful installation of Redmine, but if you want to display images and charts it's necessary.
Get the following packages:
ImageMagick - http://cactuslab.com/imagemagick/ (Note there are two versions, one with free type which requires XQuartz to be installed - the basic version is sufficient.)
Pgkconfig - http://macpkg.sourceforge.net
rmagick - http://rubygems.org/gems/rmagick (sometimes the download during installation fails, it's easier to have it stored locally)
Install ImageMagick and Pkgconfig, both should be installed in the /opt directory by default.
Because Pkgconfig doesn't add the path to the executable during the installation, you have to export the path variable:
<pre>export PATH=/opt/pkgconfig/bin:$PATH</pre>
The following command should install the rmagick gem without errors (if it fails please check the paths to MagickCore.pc and MagickWand.h):
<pre>sudo C_INCLUDE_PATH=/opt/ImageMagick/include/ImageMagick-6/ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/ImageMagick/lib/pkgconfig/ gem install --local ~/Downloads/rmagick-2.13.2</pre>
(Assuming rmagick has been downloaded to your Downloads directory)
h2. Install Redmine
Get the latest stable build of Redmine and move the redmine directory to your web server root folder.
*Configure Redmine*
@cd /Library/WebServer/Sites/redmine
sudo mkdir tmp public/plugin_assets
sudo chown -R _www:_www tmp public/plugin_assets log files
sudo chmod -R 755 files log tmp public/plugin_assets
sudo cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml@
Edit database.yml, e.g.
<pre>production:
adapter: mysql
database: redmine
host: localhost
username: redmine
password: MYPASSWORD
socket: /tmp/mysql.sock</pre>
*Run Bundler*
<pre>sudo bundle install --without development test</pre>
Assuming the installation finished without errors you can generate the secret token:
<pre>sudo rake generate_secret_token</pre>
Next steps:
<pre>sudo RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate</pre>
<pre>sudo RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine:load_default_data</pre>
Last but not least you need to point Apache to the public folder inside the red mine directory to serve Redmine as a website.
Please make sure you tick _Allow overrides using .htaccess file_ in the advanced settings of your website configuration.
