These instructions assume that you have a basic Ubuntu server installation with command line access.  they assume that you have the rights to install a web server (Apache2) and a database (PostgreSQL or MySQL).  They also assume that you have the ability to carry out sudo commands and that you have at least a passing familiarity with the linux OS and file system.  Lines you should type in will be on their own line and will be preceded by a vertical grey bar.

h2. Become root or be prepared to type sudo before every command.

You can also save yourself a lot of time if you are doing a big install/configuration job by simply becoming 'real root' instead of typing sudo before everything by typing in either of these commands;

Both will ask you to supply your password again and then you will get a # prompt which shows that you are "root" and no longer have to keep typing sudo.

h2. Be sure to run your updates before you start.

Be sure to check your /etc/apt/sources.list  You will probably want to comment out the "backports" and uncomment the extras and partners.  
24
25
>apt-get update
26
27
If you get any key errors for any of the repositories, you can fix them easily.  
28
29
A key error will look something like this:
30
31
W: GPG error: http://extras.ubuntu.com quantal Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 16126D3A3E5C1192
32
33
>gpg --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net --recv-keys 16126D3A3E5C1192
34
>gpg --export --armor 16126D3A3E5C1192 | sudo apt-key add - 
35
36
Note that the key (16126D3A3E5C1192) is the same in the error message, the key fetch request and the key import request.  What ever key you are missing can be fixed by through this process.  
37
38
39
>apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade

41
h2. Have your web server and data base installed
42
43
Installing Ubuntu's entire LAMP stack also installs PHP as well as the PHP connectors for apache, mysql, etc. If you are using RoR, installing all of that is probably unnecessary.  As a general rule of practice, it is best not to install anything you don't actually need.  That which isn't installed is not a potential security hole.  The statements below will install apache2 and the proper database.  
44
45
For MySQL: >apt-get install apache2 mysql-server mysql-client mysql-common 
46
For PostgreSQL:   >apt-get install apache2 postgresql

h2. You must install mod_passenger for Apache2. 
52
> apt-get install libapache2-mod-passenger
53
54
Wait for the install to complete then you must enable the module and restart Apache2.
55
56
>a2enmod passenger
57
>service apache2 restart
58
 - OR -
59
>/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
60
61
Mod_passenger should now be enabled and visible to apache.
62
63
h2.Turn off apparmor for a bit so that it doesn't complain while we're installing everything
64
65
> service apparmor stop
66

h2. Create your data base and your user for your redmine installation.

There are a great many GUI's out there for most databases.  It is strongly recommended never to run your application as your "root" user on your database (e.g. MySQL root for MySQL or 'postgres' user for PostgreSQL).  There are also any number of tutorials on the creation of databases and granting of rights on them, so that it is really outside the scope of this document. These are pretty trivial to find on Google and if you are going to administer database driven applications its very advisable for you to become at least passingly familiar with SQL statements.
74
75
For MySQL:  CREATE 'user'@'hostname' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';  CREATE DATABASE 'myredminedb'; GRANT ALL ON 'myredminedb'.* TO 'user'@'hostname'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
76
77
For PostgreSQL: CREATE USER user WITH PASSWORD 'password'; CREATE DATABASE myredminedb;GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE myredminedb to user;
78
79 46 Recent Coin
NOTE for PostgreSQL Users:  You will have to set the postgres user password before you can connect remotely.  MySQL will force you to set this during the installation but Postgres does not. To so do:
80
81
>su - postgres
82
>psql
83
84
This will take you to the postgres database prompt.  
85
86
>ALTER USER postgres with password 'my-secure-password';
87
88
This will set the password.  You can now proceed to editing the postgres configuration files so that you can connect remotely.

104
h2. Installing the latest Redmine
105
106
The package with Ubuntu 10.04 is stuck in the 0.9.x branch and Ubuntu 12.04 is stuck in the 1.3.x branch. A PPA exists that has the latest branch here: https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/redmine
107
108
To install redmine using the PPA:
109
110 38 Yu Kobayashi
> $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/redmine
111
> $ sudo apt-get update
112
> $ sudo apt-get install redmine redmine-mysql
113 36 Anonymous
114
Note: If your server is behind a firewall, you will need to export your firewall settings before running @add-apt-repository@. Otherwise, the command will hang.
115
Run the following <pre>export http_proxy="http://proxy.your.server:port" and export https_proxy="http:proxy.your.server:port".</pre>
116
117
h2. Configuration
118
119
Symlink @/usr/share/redmine/public@ to your desired web-accessible location. E.g.:
120
121
> $ sudo ln -s /usr/share/redmine/public /var/www/redmine
122
123
By default, passenger runs as 'nobody', so you'll need to fix that. In @/etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.conf@, add:
124
125 38 Yu Kobayashi
<pre>PassengerDefaultUser www-data</pre>
126 36 Anonymous
127
You'll also need to configure the @/var/www/redmine@ location in @/etc/apache2/sites-available/default@ by adding:
128
129
<pre><Directory /var/www/redmine>
130
RailsBaseURI /redmine
131
PassengerResolveSymlinksInDocumentRoot on
132
</Directory>
133
</pre>
134
135
If you set your AppArmor mysqld profile to complain you ought to set it back to enforce:
136
137
> $ sudo aa-enforce /usr/sbin/mysqld
138
139
Enable passenger:
140
141
> $ sudo a2enmod passenger
142
143
Restart apache2
144
145
> $ sudo service apache2 restart
146
147
and you should be able to access Redmine at: http://redmine.server.ip.address/redmine
148
149
If you receive a "403: Forbidden" error after setting up Redmine, the Redmine 'public' folder may have incorrect permissions set. The executable bit on the public folder must be enabled or you will receive a "403: Forbidden" error when attempting to access Redmine.
150
151
> $ sudo chmod a+x /usr/share/redmine/public
152
153
h1. Ubuntu 10.04 or 12.04 using WEBrick
154
155
Using Passenger is recommended for the heavy load server. But WEBrick uses less memory.
156
157 39 Yu Kobayashi

175
You can start Redmine by this. You can access by http://example.com:3000/
176
177
> $ sudo service redmine start
178
179
You can stop by this.
180
181
> $ sudo service redmine stop
182
183
h1. Ubuntu 10.04 using mod_cgi
184
185
The installation assumes that the web server and database are already in place, so you probably want to install the LAMP stack first if you don't already have it:
186
187
> $ sudo tasksel install lamp-server
188
189
Also, the default AppArmor configuration can get in the way, so you may need to set the mysqld profile to complain:
190
191
> $ sudo aa-complain /usr/sbin/mysqld
192
193
As of 10.04, Redmine is available through Ubuntu's package manager, and installation is simple:
194
195
> $ sudo apt-get install redmine redmine-mysql subversion
196
197
The second package, _redmine-mysql_, can be replaced by either _redmine-pgsql_ or _redmine-sqlite_ if you want to use either of those databases.
198
199
The installation process should prompt you for all the interesting details.
200
201
Redmine will now be installed in @/usr/share/redmine@ and @/etc/redmine@
202
203
If you set your AppArmor mysqld profile to complain you ought to set it back to enforce:

214
215 42 Roland Giesler
Also symlink @/var/cache/redmine/default/plugin_assets@ to your redmine directory. E.g.:
216
217
> $ sudo ln -s /var/cache/redmine/default/plugin_assets /usr/share/redmine/public/

h1. Redmine Installation on Virtual or Normal Ubuntu < 10.04
262
263
This page is a guide to installing Redmine on either a virtual or actual installation of the Ubuntu operating system. If you follow all instructions correctly you will have installed your Redmine server successfully in almost an hour.
264
265
h2. Step 1: Install Ubuntu
266
267
If you are installing on a non-virtual Ubuntu instance, please skip this section.
268
269
*Installing VirtualBox:*
270
271
1.Download the latest version of Sun VirtualBox (version 3.0.10 or newer).
272
2.Install VirtualBox by following the instructions.
273
274
*Installing Ubuntu on VirtualBox:*
275
276
1.Download the latest version of Ubuntu (version 9.10 or newer).
277
2.After installing VirtualBox you will create a new virtual operating which will be Linux type and Ubuntu subtype. If you don't know anything about VirtualBox and/or its usage please refer to Google.
278
279
3.While installing Ubuntu you should enter the following configuration:
280
(This suggested configuration is optional, you can enter any names you want.)
281
Q: What is your name? A: Redmine Server
282
Q: What name do you want to use to login? A: redmine
283
Q: Choose to password to keep your account safe? A: redmine
284
Q: What is the name of this computer? A: redmine-server
285
Choose “Log in automatically.” radio button.
286
287
4.When you've finished the installation, open up your new VirtualBox Ubuntu OS and open up a terminal (console) screen and issue these commands:
288
> sudo apt-get update
289
> sudo apt-get upgrade
290
291
*Configuring VirtualBox:*
292
293
1.If you want to reach your VirtualBox Ubuntu OS from a different machine, you have to configure VirtualBox Ubuntu OS's network settings to Bridged Adapter. So you can reach your VirtualBox Ubuntu from an internal IP address easily. Because it get's the same IP block as you from DHCP easily. I mean your guest and host computer is same IP block as different network client.
294
295
2.If you had assigned a static IP to your Network Consult by giving your static ethernet MAC address, you have to assign the unique MAC address your VirtualBox Ubuntu OS by Setting->Network->MAC address initialization box. By this MAC address, you can get a static IP easily or you can configure your Ubuntu system to not use DHCP, instead of that you can assign a static IP manually.
296
297
h2. Step 2: Install Redmine
298
299
Once you have a functioning Ubuntu operating system up and running, you can continue with installing Redmine.
300
301
h3. Install dependencies
302
303
The following packages are required to install and run Redmine. Please install them by running @apt-get@ as root:
304
305
>sudo apt-get install package-name
306
307
where @package-name@ is each of:
308
* apache2
309
* apache2-threaded-dev
310
* build-essential
311
* libapache-dbi-perl
312
* libapache2-mod-perl2
313
* libapache2-svn
314
* libdigest-sha1-perl
315
* libgemplugin-ruby
316
* libgemplugin-ruby1.8
317
* libruby-extras
318
* libruby1.8-extras
319
* mongrel
320
* mysql-server
321
* rails
322
* rake
323
* ruby
324
* rubygems
325
* rubygems1.8
326
* ruby1.8-dev
327
* subversion
328
329
_(Could someone please clean up this list?)_
330
331
h3. Package Installation and Setup
332
333
1.Once you’ve installed the VirtualBox Ubuntu OS and updated it, you need to install a bunch of packages that we will prepare the server for the Redmine installation. So, as root, install the following packages by issuing:
334
> sudo apt-get install
335
> sudo apt-get install
336
(_Surely some missing package names above?_)
337
338
The packages we’re installing above are MySQL, phpMyAdmin, Rails, Ruby Gems, Mongrel and Ruby Dev environment.
339
During the installation of the packages, when MySQL is installed, it will prompt you to create a password. Make sure you remember it. You will need it later to log in to phpMyAdmin. To make things simple you can set all passwords to “redmine”.
340
341
2.Create a new directory for Redmine. I put mine in /opt/redmine. And download the latest version of Redmine in to it with the wget command line downloader and extract it by issuing:
342
> sudo mkdir /opt/redmine
343
> sudo cd /opt/redmine
344
> sudo wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/66633/redmine-0.8.6.tar.gz
345
> tar -xvf redmine-0.8.6.tar.gz
346
347
h3. Database Setup
348
349
1.Now it’s time to create an empty database for Redmine. As you may have noticed, we installed phpMyAdmin earlier. phpMyAdmin will come in handy now. Head over to http://localhost/phpmyadmin. You should be presented with the phpMyAdmin login screen.
350
Type in “root” and the MySQL “password” you created when installing MySQL.
351
352
2.First, click on “Databases” then, at the bottom of the screen, in the “Create new database” text box create a new database called “redmine” and set “Collation” to “utf8_general_ci”.
353
354
3.Now, go back to the home screen and click on:
355
“Privileges”
356
“Add a new User”
357
Fill out the “Login Information” boxes. Call your user “redmine”. Make sure you remember password you create here. It will be used when you set up the database connection details in Redmine.
358
In the “Database for user” section, check “Create database with same name and grant all privileges” and click on the “Go” button.
359
360
4.Log out of phpMyAdmin.
361
362
h3. Redmine Database Connection Configuration
363
364
1.It’s time to configure the database connection. If you installed Redmine as I did above, then copy “config/database.yml.example” to “config/database.yml” and edit this file in order to configure your database settings for “production” environment. You’ll find the “database.yml.example” issuing:
365
> sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/config
366
367
2.So now, assuming you’re in the “/opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/config” directory, issue:
368
> sudo cp database.yml.example database.yml
369
370
3.Then, open the “database.yml” file, issue:
371
> sudo gedit database.yml
372
… and edit it as in the example for a MySQL database below:
373
374
production:
375
adapter: mysql
376
socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
377
database: redmine
378
host: localhost
379
username: redmine
380
password: [password]
381
382
Then save the “database.yml” file and exit to the command prompt.
383
On Ubuntu the “mysql.sock” is located in /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock, as noted in the “config” above.
384
(The standard Redmine installation assumes the socket is located in “/opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/tmp/mysqld.sock”.)
385
386
4.Create the database structure, by running the following command under the application root directory (I mean “/opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6”):
387
> sudo rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV="production"
388
It will create the necessary tables in the redmine database you created earlier and an administrator account.
389
390
5.Insert the default configuration data in to the database, by issuing:
391
> sudo rake redmine:load_default_data RAILS_ENV="production"
392
(This step is optional but highly recommended, as you can define your own configuration from scratch. It will load default roles, trackers, statuses, work flows and enumerations. While loading default data command prompt wants to given language selection by you.)
393
394
h3. Setting up Permissions
395
396
1.The user who runs Redmine must have write permission on the following sub directories: “files”, “log”, “tmp” (create the last one if not present). You probably already have a “tmp” directory in /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6, but if you don’t, create one now by issuing:
397
> sudo mkdir /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6
398
399
2.If you haven’t created a Redmine user, do it now by issuing:
400
> sudo useradd redmine
401
402
3.Now, assuming you run Redmine with a redmine user, from your /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6 directory issue:
403
> sudo chown -R redmine:redmine files log tmp
404
> sudo chmod -R 755 files log tmp
405
406
h3. Testing the Installation
407
408
1.It should all be working now. Test the installation by running the WEBrick web server issue:
409
> sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6
410
> sudo ruby script/server -e production
411
412
Once WEBrick has started, point your browser to http://localhost:3000/. Or, if you are using a browser on a computer other than the one you installed Redmine on, point your browser to http://192.168.1.10:3000/ (if that’s the IP address you gave your Redmine server). You should now see the application welcome page.
413
414
*Log in:*
415
416
1.Use default administrator account to log in:
417
Login : admin
418
Password : admin
419
420
2.You can go to Admin & Settings to modify application settings.
421
422
h3. Setting Up Static IP
423
424
1.An easier method for configuring a static IP address is to use your local DHCP server to assign a permanent IP to the VirtualBox OS mac address. That way you will not have to do anything inside VBS. Consult your network administrator.
425
426
2.Or you should determine the configuration parameters given below, and then you can configure your system to have a static IP address:
427
The desired IP address
428
Network mask and broadcast address
429
Gateway address
430
Your local DNS server address(es)

h2. Configuring the Passenger Apache module
437
438
Passenger is a module for apache2 that allows Apache to run Ruby on Rails applications. Install it thus:
439
440
>$ sudo gem install passenger
441
442
Then go to the passenger apache2 module installation directory and run @passenger-install-apache2-module@
443
444
> $ cd /var/lib/gems/1.X/gems/passenger-X.X.X/
445
446
> $ sudo bin/passenger-install-apache2-module
447
448
Next, configure Apache:
449
450
In /etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.load we will add next line
451
452
> LoadModule passenger_module /var/lib/gems/1.X/gems/passenger-X.X.X/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
453
454
We have to edit the conf of the passenger apache2 module in /etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.conf
455
456
> PassengerRoot /var/lib/gems/1.X/gems/passenger-X.X.X
457
> PassengerRuby /usr/bin/ruby1.X
458
459
And now we activate the module
460
461
> $ sudo a2enmod passenger

h2. Sendmail Server Configuration
509
510
1.Before configuring email support for Redmine, we should download the sendmail application for Ubuntu, issue:
511
512
> sudo apt-get install sendmail
513
514
> sudo sendmailconfig
515
516
(Answer Yes to all questions which you will be asked)
517
518
2.It’s time to configure the server connection. Copy “config/email.yml.example” to “config/email.yml” and edit this file in order to configure your database settings for “production” environment. You’ll find the “email.yml.example” issue:
519
> sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/config
520
521 37 João Lencart e Silva

523 36 Anonymous
3.So now, assuming you’re in the “/config” directory, issue:
524
> sudo cp email.yml.example email.yml
525
526
4.Then, open the “email.yml” file, issue:
527
> sudo gedit email.yml
528
… and edit it as in the example for sendmail configuration below:
529
530
production:
531
delivery_method: :sendmail
532
sendmail_settings:
533
location: /usr/sbin/sendmail
534
arguments: -i -t
535
address: smtp.example.net
536
port: 25
537
domain: example.net
538
authentication: :none
539
user_name: redmine@example.net
540
password: redmine
541
542
Then save “email.yml” file and exit to the command prompt.
543
544
5.It’s time to configure the “environmet.rb” configuration. Open up the “environment.rb” and change “config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = false” to “config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true” then save and close the “environment.rb”.

h2. Email configuration for Ubuntu 12.04 with redmine >v1.4.3
547
548
1. Instead of creating an email.yml, edit config/configuration.yml and add a section
549
<pre>
550
production:
551
   email_delivery:
552
     delivery_method: :smtp
553
...</pre>
554
555
or
556
557
<pre>production:
558
   email_delivery:
559
     delivery_method: :sendmail
560
...</pre>
561
562
Please see http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/EmailConfiguration for the correct format of the full email block.
563
564
2. **DO NOT CHANGE** environment.rb config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries. The correct way is changing configuration.yml and leaving the default config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries setting to false:
565
@config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = false@
566

h2. Subversion Installation and Configuration
572
573
1.Before configuring Subversion support for Redmine, we should download the Subversion application for Ubuntu, issue:
574
> sudo apt-get install subversion
575
576
2.If your Redmine can't find the “subversion” command you can help to find by issuing:
577
· > sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/config
578
· > sudo gedit environment.rb
579
· Add ENV['PATH'] = "#{ENV['PATH']}:/subversion/path" line in it.
580
· Save and close the “environment.rb”
581
582
h2. Start Application at Boot Time
583
584
1.To automatically start the application on booting your server you need to modify your “crontab”, issue:
585
> export EDITOR=gedit
586
> crontab -e
587
588
2.Your “crontab” file will be presented. This is the list of programs that start at certain times or at boot. Add the following to the “crontab” (all on one line):
589
@reboot cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6 ; rm -f log/mongrel.pid ; mongrel_rails start -e production -p 3000 -d
590
591
h2. Backup
592
593
1.Running backups is always a good idea. Redmine backups should include:
594
* data (stored in your redmine database)
595
/usr/bin/mysqldump -u -p | gzip > /path/to/redmine/backup/db/redmine_`date +%y_%m_%d`.gz
596
* attachments (stored in the files directory of your Redmine install)
597
rsync -a /path/to/redmine/files /path/to/redmine/backup/files
598
599
2.Or you can use the bash shell to automate this kind of operation, issue:
600
> sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6
601
> sudo mkdir backup
602
> sudo mkdir backup/db
603
> sudo mkdir backup/files
604
> sudo gedit backup/runRedmineBackup.bash
605
606
And after open “runRedmineBackup.bash” with gedit, write all commands below:
607
<pre>
608
#!/bin/bash
609
data=`date -I`
610
mysqldump --user=root --password="redmine" --all-databases | gzip > db/backup-$data.sql.gz
611
cd db
612
ftp -i -n << EOF
613
open ftpserver.example.net
614
user username password
615
bin
616
mput backup-$data.sql.gz
617
bye
618
EOF
619
</pre>
620
Then save the “runRedmineBackup.bash” file and exit to the command prompt. After creation of runRedmineBackup.bash you can add this bash script to run continually between specified periods. Issue:
621
622
> export EDITOR=gedit
623
> crontab -e
624
Add 0 0 * * 0 cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/backup ; sh runRedmineBackup.bash commands to crontab to backup database weekly.
625
626
For this to work without any permission problems you have to change the permissions of the files to maximum, issue:
627
628
> sudo chmod -R 777 backup
629
> sudo chown -R redmine:redmine backup
630
631
That's all. Now we have completely installed Redmine on our virtual Ubuntu OS and can reach it from any machine in our network easily. Congratulations..!
