HowTo install Redmine in Apache Tomcat

As I'm running an Apache Tomcat Server already, I wanted to run redmine in it with Jruby, so I won't have to manage a mongrel/passenger setup.

Steps to achieve this

Tested with Redmine version 0.8.0 and 0.8.6 on Ubuntu Karmic.

Attention! There is a problem on 0.8.7 not resolved yet!

Assumption is you have a redmine running in plain ruby and it's working with "./scripts/server -e production"
If not, check the other docs first first.

I'm using a socket connection to mysql, there might be some extra steps (e.g. configuring jdbc) necessary for a mysql connection via network.

Here we go:

  • aptitude install jruby1.2
  • cd redmine-VERSION
  • test running it manually:
    • jruby ./script/server -e production
  • Install warbler gem - a tool to package rails applications as Java web application .war files:
    • gem install warbler
  • Run warbler:
    • warble config - or if warble is not in your path like in my setup: ~/.gem/ruby/1.8/bin/warble config
  • Edit the warbler config:
    • vim config/warble.rb
  • change line config.dirs... to be:
    • config.dirs = %w(app config lib log vendor tmp extra files lang)
  • run warble:
    • warble - or if warble is not in your path like in my setup: ~/.gem/ruby/1.8/bin/warble
  • place the redmine war into your tomcat webapps directory:
    • cp redmine-VERSION.war $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/redmine.war
