This works with CentOS versions 5 and 6 and describes how to get Redmine 1.3.2 set up.
6 1 Stephan Schuberth
7
h2. Assumptions
8
9
* Apache is up and running
10
* Apache has previously been used and works quite well 
11
* MySQL is up and running
12
* MySQL has previously been used and works quite well
13
* Your are logged as root
14
* The next steps are done successively without errors
15
16
h1. Install pre-dependencies
17
18
<pre>yum -y install zlib-devel curl-devel openssl-devel httpd-devel apr-devel apr-util-devel mysql-devel</pre>
19
20
h2. Ruby
21
22
Things after *#* are comments, and it is no use to type this stuff in ;) 
23
<pre>cd ~/Downloads  # YOUR FOLDER OF CHOICE
24
ftp ftp.ruby-lang.org
25
</pre>
26
27
h3. FTP session
28
29
<pre>ftp> Anonymous  # USERLOGIN
30
ftp> 'none', just hit Enter  # NO PASSWORD
31
ftp> cd /pub/ruby
32
ftp> get ruby-1.8.7.pXXX.tar.gz  # XXX is currently 358, as of 03/2012
33
ftp> bye</pre>
34
35
h3. Untar
36
37
<pre>tar zxvf ruby-1.8.7.pXXX.tar.gz</pre>
38
39
h3. Install
40
41
<pre>cd ruby-1.8.7.pXXX
42
./configure
43
make
44
make install</pre>
45
46
h3. Check installation
47
48
If this does not work, it is probably because there is no ruby at /usr/bin to be found. 
49
If it works, skip directly to "Get Gems 1.4.2".
50
<pre>ruby -v</pre>
51
52 6 Stephan Schuberth
h3. Fix dependencies
53 1 Stephan Schuberth
54
(Only in case _ruby -v_ is *NOT* working)
55
<pre>which ruby  # TO CHECK WHERE IT SHOULD BE
56
whereis ruby  # TO CHECK WHERE IT IS INSTALLED</pre>
57
_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).
58
59 6 Stephan Schuberth
h4. Fix via adding /usr/local/bin to $PATH
60
61
Do this with your editor of choice, if you do not like nano.
62
<pre>nano /etc/profile</pre>
63
64
Make the section with _pathmunge_ look alike like this:
65
<pre>#Path manupulation
66
if [ "$EUID" = "0" ]; then
67
    pathmunge /sbin
68
    pathmunge /usr/sbin
69
    pathmunge /usr/local/sbin
70
    pathmunge /usr/local/bin  # ADDED THIS
71
else
72
    pathmunge /usr/local/bin after  # ADDED THIS
73
    pathmunge /usr/local/sbin after
74
    pathmunge /usr/sbin after
75
    pathmunge /sbin
76
fi</pre>
77
78
OR ADD THIS AT THE END OF THE FILE:
79
80
<pre>nano /etc/profile
81
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin"</pre>
82
83
This sets the PATH for all Users beside root. In case you want it for root to change, too:
84
85
<pre>nano ~/.bashrc
86
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin"</pre>
87
88
h4. Fix via Symlink Creation 
89
90
This is not recommended, since if the ruby dependency is broken, others will likely be later on, too. Repair this by adding the folder to the $PATH variable like described before, else _gem_, _rake_, _bundle_, passenger-install-apache2-module will not work either... you would have to creat symlinks for them, too.
91
Symlinks are created like this
92
93 1 Stephan Schuberth
<pre>ln -s /usr/local/bin/ruby /usr/bin/ruby</pre>
94 6 Stephan Schuberth
95
h4. Check again if it is working:
96
97 1 Stephan Schuberth
<pre>ruby -v # NOW IT MUST RETURN RUBY VERSION, ELSE SOMETHING ELSE IS BROKEN
98
cd ..</pre>
99
100
h2. RubyGems 1.4.2 
101
102
*Does not work with Gems 1.5!*
103
104
h3. Download
105
106
<pre>wget http://production.cf.rubygems.org/rubygems/rubygems-1.4.2.tgz</pre>
107
108
h3. Untar
109
110
<pre>tar zxvf rubygems-1.4.2.tgz</pre>
111
112
h3. Setup
113
114
<pre>cd rubygems-1.4.2
115
ruby setup.rb</pre>
116
117
h3. Check installation
118
119
<pre>gem -v</pre>
120
121
h3. In case this does not work...
122
123
... the solution is again creating a symlink, analogical like described in the ruby section above.
124
125
h2. Passenger
126
127
h3. Regular install method
128
129
Requires gcc.
130
131
<pre>gem install passenger
132
passenger-install-apache2-module</pre>
133
134
If the second line does not work, do *whereis passenger* to find out where it is installed.
135
So you can execute it like */usr/local/bin/passenger-install-apache2-module* ...
136
137
The install process is interactive and you wil be told what to do. READ!
138
139
h3. Alternative install method 
140
141
Install mod_passenger RPM for Apache from the following location:
142
143
> http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/
144
145
_RHEL/CentOS 5_
146
<pre>rpm -Uvh http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/rhel/5/passenger-release.noarch.rpm
147
yum install mod_passenger</pre>
148
149
_RHEL/CentOS 6_
150
<pre>rpm --import http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-stealthymonkeys.asc
151
yum install http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/rhel/6/passenger-release.noarch.rpm
152
yum install mod_passenger</pre>
153
154
h2. Restart Apache
155
156
<pre>service httpd restart</pre>
157
158
h1. Install Redmine
159
160
h3. Download
161
162
Download page: 
163
> http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=1850
164
165
<pre>wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/75910/redmine-1.3.2.tar.gz # GET LATEST VERSION ON RUBYFORGE</pre>
166
167
h3. Untar
168
169
<pre>tar zxvf redmine-1.3.2.tar.gz</pre>
170
171
h3. Copy the folder to its HTTP document root folder
172
173
<pre>mkdir /var/www/redmine
174
cp -av redmine-1.3.2/* /var/www/redmine</pre>
175
176
h1. Configure Apache to host the documents
177
178
more information can be found here: [[HowTo configure Apache to run Redmine]]
179
180
h1. Link Redmine to the Database
181
182
h2. Install MySQL DB Server
183
184
<pre>yum install mysql-server
185
chkconfig mysqld on
186
service mysqld start
187
/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation</pre>
188
189
h2. Create a MySQL database to use with Redmine
190
191
h3. Latest MySQL Version
192
193
> start the mysql client (@mysql -u root -p@) and enter the following commands:
194
> > <pre>create database redmine character set utf8;
195
create user 'redmine'@'localhost' identified by 'my_password';
196
grant all privileges on redmine.* to 'redmine'@'localhost'; </pre>
197
198
h3. For versions of MySQL prior to 5.0.2
199
200
> Skip the 'create user' step and do instead:
201
> >  <pre> grant all privileges on redmine.* to 'redmine'@'localhost' identified by 'my_password';</pre>
202
203
Now the database is created and a user to be used with it. Also the user has the rights to work on the database that was created.
204
205
h2. Configure /var/www/redmine/config/database.yml 
206
207
<pre>cp database.yml.example database.yml</pre>
208
209
todo: describe what to change there...
210

217
h3. Install
218
219
<pre>gem install bundler</pre>
220
221
h3. Create Gemfile
222
223
You can of course use vi/vim as your editor of choice, if you know what you are doing. ;) 
224
<pre>nano /var/www/redmine/Gemfile</pre>
225
226
227
h3. Register gems
228
229
Put the following into the file you just opened:

231
source "http://rubygems.org"
232
gem "rake", "0.8.3"
233

240
241
h3. Install the provided dependencies:
242
243
<pre>bundle install</pre>
244
245 4 Stephan Schuberth
h2. Set environment to "production" 
246 1 Stephan Schuberth
247 4 Stephan Schuberth
Rails has the concept of environments to represent the stages of an application’s lifecycle: test, development, and production by default. 
248
Specify your choice with the RAILS_ENV environment variable. 
249
Production has less verbose logging and is a bit faster, testing and development environment are not needed anyway for your Redmine.
250 3 Stephan Schuberth
251 1 Stephan Schuberth
