||

5 | This article is co-authored by Jérôme Warnier, from work mostly done by him with my occasional support. Kudos go to him. |
||
6 | |||
7 | We couldn't find any valuable manual to install Redmine 2.1 on Debian Squeeze, and we sure met a lot of resistance along the way, so we came up with the following step-by-step guide... |
||
8 | |||
9 | h2. Assumptions |
||
10 | |||
11 | We take as given that: |
||
12 | |||
13 | * We are using a Debian Squeeze installation |
||
14 | * We have root access to this machine |
||
15 | * There is public access to the machine itself (public IP) |
||
16 | * We are able to define a public domain (or subdomain) name for this Redmine installation |
||
17 | * We have access to define a database (we chose MySQL) user for Redmine (this is important to avoid security risks in sharing accounts with another web system). We also assume that we already have a MySQL server installation |
||
18 | * We will be using Apache 2's modPassenger (and Apache 2 is already installed on the server) |
||
19 | * We will be using redmine.example.com; so every time you see this below, replace it by your own domain |
||
20 | |||
21 | h2. Warming up |
||
22 | |||
23 | We will first need to install basic packages: |
||
24 | <pre> |
||
25 | apt-get install ruby rubygems libruby libapache2-mod-passenger |
||
26 | </pre> |
||
27 | Download the latest version of Redmine (2.1.0 in our case) and untar it, then move it to /usr/local/share |
||
28 | <pre> |
||
29 | ln /usr/local/share/redmine-2.1.0 /usr/local/share/redmine |
||
30 | chown -R root:root /usr/local/share/redmine-2.1.0 |
||
31 | </pre> |
||
32 | |||
33 | Install development libraries for MySQL: |
||
34 | <pre> |
||
35 | apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev |
||
36 | </pre> |
||
37 | |||
38 | Install development libs for Imagick: |
||
39 | <pre> |
||
40 | apt-get install libmagickcore-dev libmagickwand-dev (install shitload of packages) |
||
41 | </pre> |
||
42 | |||
43 | h2. Running the Gem stuff |
||
44 | |||
45 | Install Bundler (removing useless module, which would otherwise create dependencies): |
||
46 | <pre> |
||
47 | gem install bundler |
||
48 | cd /usr/local/share/redmine/ |
||
49 | /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/bundle install --without development test postgresql sqlite |
||
50 | </pre> |
||
51 | |||
52 | h2. Configuration |
||
53 | |||
54 | Copy config/database.yml.example to config/database.yml and edit this file in order to configure your database settings for "production" environment. |
||
55 | Example for a MySQL database using ruby1.8 or jruby: |
||
56 | <pre> |
||
57 | production: |
||
58 | adapter: mysql |
||
59 | database: redmine |
||
60 | host: localhost |
||
61 | username: redmine |
||
62 | password: my_password |
||
63 | </pre> |
||
64 | |||
65 | Generate a session store secret: |
||
66 | <pre> |
||
67 | /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/rake generate_secret_token |
||
68 | </pre> |
||
69 | |||
70 | Generate the database structure: |
||
71 | <pre> |
||
72 | RAILS_ENV=production /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/rake db:migrate |
||
73 | </pre> |
||
74 | |||
75 | Generate default configuration data: |
||
76 | <pre> |
||
77 | RAILS_ENV=production /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/rake redmine:load_default_data |
||
78 | </pre> |
||
79 | (using “es” for Spanish language in terminal prompt) |
||
80 | |||
81 | Setup config file in config/configuration.yml |
||
82 | |||
83 | Change database_ciphr_key: ******* |
||
84 | <pre> |
||
85 | /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/rake db:encrypt RAILS_ENV=production |
||
86 | </pre> |
||
87 | |||
88 | h2. Apache |
||
89 | |||
90 | Setup Apache’s VirtualHost config |
||
91 | |||
92 | <pre> |
||
93 | # 8080 in this case is because we use a reverse proxy before Apache. Otherwise simply use "*:80" |
||
94 | |||
95 | <VirtualHost *:8080> |
||
96 | ServerName redmine.example.com |
||
97 | DocumentRoot /usr/local/share/redmine/public |
||
98 | <Directory /usr/local/share/redmine/public> |
||
99 | AllowOverride all |
||
100 | Options -MultiViews |
||
101 | </Directory> |
||
102 | </VirtualHost> |
||
103 | </pre> |
||
104 | |||
105 | Once you enable this virtual host (a2ensite redmine.example.com) and reload Apache (/etc/init.d/apache2/reload), you should see your site running on http://redmine.example.com. |
||
106 | |||
107 | 2 | Jonas Halbe | If you can't create or edit Users, delete the chache folder in /opt/redmine |
108 | |||
109 | 1 | Yannick Warnier | The default login/password is admin/admin (don't forget to change this). |
