Redmine

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/libmysqlclient.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 neither ImageMagick or Pkgconfig seems to add the path to the executable during the installation, you have to export the path variable:

<pre>export PATH=/opt/ImageMagick/bin:/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.gem</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 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.
