h1. HowTo Install Redmine 212 in Ubuntu 1210 and Apache Passenger 

 Inspired in "HowTo Install Redmine 210 on Debian Squeeze with Apache Passenger", from this same wiki, so meta-kudos, to the original authors. 

 h2. Assumptions 

 * We will be using redmine.example.com; so every time you see this below, replace it by your own domain 
 * For this to work maybe you shold edit /etc/hosts file adding a line "127.0.0.1 redmine.example.com" 
 * If you are behind a proxy, you could do export http_proxy="http://proxy.domain.tld:port" and the installation should work ok. 

 h2. Warming up 

 We will first need to install basic packages: 
 <pre> 
 apt-get install ruby rubygems libruby libapache2-mod-passenger ruby-dev 
 </pre> 
 Download the latest version of Redmine (2.1.2 in our case) and untar it, then move it to /usr/local/share 
 <pre> 
 cd /usr/local/share/ 
 wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/76495/redmine-2.1.2.tar.gz 
 tar -xzvf redmine-2.1.2.tar.gz 
 ln -s /usr/local/share/redmine-2.1.2 /usr/local/share/redmine 
 chown -R root:root /usr/local/share/redmine-2.1.2 
 </pre> 

 Install development libraries for MySQL and Imagick: 
 <pre> 
 apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev libmagickcore-dev libmagickwand-dev (install shitload of packages) 
 </pre> 

 h2. Running the Gem stuff 

 Install Bundler (removing useless module, which would otherwise create dependencies): 
 <pre> 
 gem install bundler 
 cd /usr/local/share/redmine/ 
 bundle install --without development test postgresql sqlite 
 </pre> 

 h2. Creating the database 

 On a new installation you need to create the database and a user for redmine. 
 Open a mysql command prompt: 
 <pre> 
 mysql -u root -p 
 </pre> 

 At the mysql prompt enter the mysql commands: 
 <pre> 
 create user 'redmine' identified by 'redmine'; 
 set password for 'redmine'@'localhost' = password('my_password'); 
 grant all on redmine.* to 'redmine'@'localhost'; 
 create database redmine; 
 quit; 
 </pre> 

 h2. Configuration 

 Copy /usr/local/share/redmine/config/database.yml.example to /usr/local/share/redmine/config/database.yml and edit this file in order to configure your database settings for "production" environment. 
 Example for a MySQL database using ruby1.8 or jruby: 
 <pre> 
 production: 
   adapter: mysql2        (note: For Rails < 3.1 use mysql instead of mysql2) 
   database: redmine 
   host: localhost 
   username: redmine 
   password: my_password 
 </pre> 

 Generate a session store secret: 
 <pre> 
 rake generate_secret_token 
 </pre> 

 Generate the database structure: 
 <pre> 
 RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate 
 </pre> 

 Generate default configuration data: 
 <pre> 
 RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine:load_default_data 
 </pre> 
 (using “es” for Spanish language in terminal prompt) 

 h4. Database encryption 

 If you want to encrypt your redmine database do as follows: 

 # Copy the default Setup config file @/usr/local/share/redmine/config/configuration.yml.example@ to @/usr/local/share/redmine/config/configuration.yml@ 
 # Edit configuration.yml and create a cipher key there for the environment you've used so thus far - production. Be sure to read the comment in this file. They are very detailed and there for you. config/configuration.yml 

 Change database_ciphr_key: ******* 
 # Run: <pre> 
 rake db:encrypt RAILS_ENV=production 
 </pre> 

 h2. Apache 

 Setup Apache’s VirtualHost config 

 <pre> 
 # 8080 in this case is because we use a reverse proxy before Apache. Otherwise simply use "*:80" 

 <VirtualHost *:8080> 
  ServerName redmine.example.com 
  DocumentRoot /usr/local/share/redmine/public 
  <Directory /usr/local/share/redmine/public> 
    AllowOverride all 
    Options -MultiViews 
  </Directory> 
 </VirtualHost> 
 </pre> 

 Once you enable this virtual host (a2ensite redmine.example.com) and reload Apache (apache2ctl graceful), you should see your site running on http://redmine.example.com. 

 The default login/password is admin/admin (don't forget to change this).
