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

>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.

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

Mod_passenger should now be enabled and visible to apache.

h2.Turn off apparmor for a bit so that it doesn't complain while we're installing everything

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.

h2. Installing the latest Redmine
107
108
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
109
110
To install redmine using the PPA:
111
112 38 Yu Kobayashi
> $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/redmine
113
> $ sudo apt-get update
114
> $ sudo apt-get install redmine redmine-mysql
115 36 Anonymous
116
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.
117
Run the following <pre>export http_proxy="http://proxy.your.server:port" and export https_proxy="http:proxy.your.server:port".</pre>
118
119
h2. Configuration
120
121
Symlink @/usr/share/redmine/public@ to your desired web-accessible location. E.g.:
122
123
> $ sudo ln -s /usr/share/redmine/public /var/www/redmine
124
125
By default, passenger runs as 'nobody', so you'll need to fix that. In @/etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.conf@, add:
126
127 38 Yu Kobayashi
<pre>PassengerDefaultUser www-data</pre>
128 36 Anonymous
129
You'll also need to configure the @/var/www/redmine@ location in @/etc/apache2/sites-available/default@ by adding:
130
131
<pre><Directory /var/www/redmine>
132
RailsBaseURI /redmine
133
PassengerResolveSymlinksInDocumentRoot on
134
</Directory>
135
</pre>
136
137
If you set your AppArmor mysqld profile to complain you ought to set it back to enforce:
138
139
> $ sudo aa-enforce /usr/sbin/mysqld
140
141
Enable passenger:
142
143
> $ sudo a2enmod passenger
144
145
Restart apache2
146
147
> $ sudo service apache2 restart
148
149
and you should be able to access Redmine at: http://redmine.server.ip.address/redmine
150
151
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.
152
153
> $ sudo chmod a+x /usr/share/redmine/public
154
155
h1. Ubuntu 10.04 or 12.04 using WEBrick
156
157
Using Passenger is recommended for the heavy load server. But WEBrick uses less memory.
158
159 39 Yu Kobayashi
Install Redmine: (See also _Installing the latest Redmine_ above)
160 38 Yu Kobayashi
161
> $ sudo apt-get install redmine redmine-mysql

163
Then, create this for /etc/init/redmine.conf
164
165
<pre>
166
# Redmine

175
</pre>
176
177
You can start Redmine by this. You can access by http://example.com:3000/
178
179
> $ sudo service redmine start
180
181
You can stop by this.
182
183
> $ sudo service redmine stop
184
185
h1. Ubuntu 10.04 using mod_cgi
186
187
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:
188
189
> $ sudo tasksel install lamp-server
190
191
Also, the default AppArmor configuration can get in the way, so you may need to set the mysqld profile to complain:
192
193
> $ sudo aa-complain /usr/sbin/mysqld
194
195
As of 10.04, Redmine is available through Ubuntu's package manager, and installation is simple:
196
197
> $ sudo apt-get install redmine redmine-mysql subversion
198
199
The second package, _redmine-mysql_, can be replaced by either _redmine-pgsql_ or _redmine-sqlite_ if you want to use either of those databases.
200
201
The installation process should prompt you for all the interesting details.
202
203
Redmine will now be installed in @/usr/share/redmine@ and @/etc/redmine@
204
205
If you set your AppArmor mysqld profile to complain you ought to set it back to enforce:
206
207
> $ sudo aa-enforce /usr/sbin/mysqld
208
209

212
213
Symlink @/usr/share/redmine/public@ to your desired web-accessible location. E.g.:
214
215

216
217 42 Roland Giesler
Also symlink @/var/cache/redmine/default/plugin_assets@ to your redmine directory. E.g.:
218
219
> $ sudo ln -s /var/cache/redmine/default/plugin_assets /usr/share/redmine/public/

h1. Redmine Installation on Virtual or Normal Ubuntu < 10.04
264
265
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.
266
267
h2. Step 1: Install Ubuntu
268
269
If you are installing on a non-virtual Ubuntu instance, please skip this section.
270
271
*Installing VirtualBox:*
272
273
1.Download the latest version of Sun VirtualBox (version 3.0.10 or newer).
274
2.Install VirtualBox by following the instructions.
275
276
*Installing Ubuntu on VirtualBox:*
277
278
1.Download the latest version of Ubuntu (version 9.10 or newer).
279
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.
280
281
3.While installing Ubuntu you should enter the following configuration:
282
(This suggested configuration is optional, you can enter any names you want.)
283
Q: What is your name? A: Redmine Server
284
Q: What name do you want to use to login? A: redmine
285
Q: Choose to password to keep your account safe? A: redmine
286
Q: What is the name of this computer? A: redmine-server
287
Choose “Log in automatically.” radio button.
288
289
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:
290
> sudo apt-get update
291
> sudo apt-get upgrade
292
293
*Configuring VirtualBox:*
294
295
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.
296
297
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.
298
299
h2. Step 2: Install Redmine
300
301
Once you have a functioning Ubuntu operating system up and running, you can continue with installing Redmine.
302
303
h3. Install dependencies
304
305
The following packages are required to install and run Redmine. Please install them by running @apt-get@ as root:
306
307
>sudo apt-get install package-name
308
309
where @package-name@ is each of:
310
* apache2
311
* apache2-threaded-dev
312
* build-essential
313
* libapache-dbi-perl
314
* libapache2-mod-perl2
315
* libapache2-svn
316
* libdigest-sha1-perl
317
* libgemplugin-ruby
318
* libgemplugin-ruby1.8
319
* libruby-extras
320
* libruby1.8-extras
321
* mongrel
322
* mysql-server
323
* rails
324
* rake
325
* ruby
326
* rubygems
327
* rubygems1.8
328
* ruby1.8-dev
329
* subversion
330
331
_(Could someone please clean up this list?)_
332
333
h3. Package Installation and Setup
334
335
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:
336
> sudo apt-get install
337
> sudo apt-get install
338
(_Surely some missing package names above?_)
339
340
The packages we’re installing above are MySQL, phpMyAdmin, Rails, Ruby Gems, Mongrel and Ruby Dev environment.
341
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”.
342
343
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:
344
> sudo mkdir /opt/redmine
345
> sudo cd /opt/redmine
346
> sudo wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/66633/redmine-0.8.6.tar.gz
347
> tar -xvf redmine-0.8.6.tar.gz
348
349
h3. Database Setup
350
351
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.
352
Type in “root” and the MySQL “password” you created when installing MySQL.
353
354
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”.
355
356
3.Now, go back to the home screen and click on:
357
“Privileges”
358
“Add a new User”
359
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.
360
In the “Database for user” section, check “Create database with same name and grant all privileges” and click on the “Go” button.
361
362
4.Log out of phpMyAdmin.
363
364
h3. Redmine Database Connection Configuration
365
366
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:
367
> sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/config
368
369
2.So now, assuming you’re in the “/opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/config” directory, issue:
370
> sudo cp database.yml.example database.yml
371
372
3.Then, open the “database.yml” file, issue:
373
> sudo gedit database.yml
374
… and edit it as in the example for a MySQL database below:
375
376
production:
377
adapter: mysql
378
socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
379
database: redmine
380
host: localhost
381
username: redmine
382
password: [password]
383
384
Then save the “database.yml” file and exit to the command prompt.
385
On Ubuntu the “mysql.sock” is located in /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock, as noted in the “config” above.
386
(The standard Redmine installation assumes the socket is located in “/opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/tmp/mysqld.sock”.)
387
388
4.Create the database structure, by running the following command under the application root directory (I mean “/opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6”):
389
> sudo rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV="production"
390
It will create the necessary tables in the redmine database you created earlier and an administrator account.
391
392
5.Insert the default configuration data in to the database, by issuing:
393
> sudo rake redmine:load_default_data RAILS_ENV="production"
394
(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.)
395
396
h3. Setting up Permissions
397
398
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:
399
> sudo mkdir /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6
400
401
2.If you haven’t created a Redmine user, do it now by issuing:
402
> sudo useradd redmine
403
404
3.Now, assuming you run Redmine with a redmine user, from your /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6 directory issue:
405
> sudo chown -R redmine:redmine files log tmp
406
> sudo chmod -R 755 files log tmp
407
408
h3. Testing the Installation
409
410
1.It should all be working now. Test the installation by running the WEBrick web server issue:
411
> sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6
412
> sudo ruby script/server -e production
413
414
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.
415
416
*Log in:*
417
418
1.Use default administrator account to log in:
419
Login : admin
420
Password : admin
421
422
2.You can go to Admin & Settings to modify application settings.
423
424
h3. Setting Up Static IP
425
426
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.
427
428
2.Or you should determine the configuration parameters given below, and then you can configure your system to have a static IP address:
429
The desired IP address
430

h2. Configuring the Passenger Apache module
439
440
Passenger is a module for apache2 that allows Apache to run Ruby on Rails applications. Install it thus:
441
442
>$ sudo gem install passenger
443
444
Then go to the passenger apache2 module installation directory and run @passenger-install-apache2-module@
445
446
> $ cd /var/lib/gems/1.X/gems/passenger-X.X.X/
447
448
> $ sudo bin/passenger-install-apache2-module
449
450
Next, configure Apache:
451
452
In /etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.load we will add next line
453
454
> LoadModule passenger_module /var/lib/gems/1.X/gems/passenger-X.X.X/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
455
456
We have to edit the conf of the passenger apache2 module in /etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.conf
457
458
> PassengerRoot /var/lib/gems/1.X/gems/passenger-X.X.X
459
> PassengerRuby /usr/bin/ruby1.X
460
461
And now we activate the module
462
463
> $ sudo a2enmod passenger

h2. Sendmail Server Configuration
511
512
1.Before configuring email support for Redmine, we should download the sendmail application for Ubuntu, issue:
513
514
> sudo apt-get install sendmail
515
516
> sudo sendmailconfig
517
518
(Answer Yes to all questions which you will be asked)
519
520
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:
521
> sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/config
522
523 37 João Lencart e Silva

3.So now, assuming you’re in the “/config” directory, issue:
526
> sudo cp email.yml.example email.yml
527
528
4.Then, open the “email.yml” file, issue:
529
> sudo gedit email.yml
530
… and edit it as in the example for sendmail configuration below:
531
532
production:
533
delivery_method: :sendmail
534
sendmail_settings:
535
location: /usr/sbin/sendmail
536
arguments: -i -t
537
address: smtp.example.net
538
port: 25
539
domain: example.net
540
authentication: :none
541
user_name: redmine@example.net
542
password: redmine
543
544
Then save “email.yml” file and exit to the command prompt.
545
546
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
549
550
1. Instead of creating an email.yml, edit config/configuration.yml and add a section
551
<pre>
552
production:
553
   email_delivery:
554
     delivery_method: :smtp
555
...</pre>
556
557
or
558
559
<pre>production:
560
   email_delivery:
561
     delivery_method: :sendmail
562
...</pre>
563
564
Please see http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/EmailConfiguration for the correct format of the full email block.
565
566
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:
567
@config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = false@

h2. Subversion Installation and Configuration
574
575
1.Before configuring Subversion support for Redmine, we should download the Subversion application for Ubuntu, issue:
576
> sudo apt-get install subversion
577
578
2.If your Redmine can't find the “subversion” command you can help to find by issuing:
579
· > sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/config
580
· > sudo gedit environment.rb
581
· Add ENV['PATH'] = "#{ENV['PATH']}:/subversion/path" line in it.
582
· Save and close the “environment.rb”
583
584
h2. Start Application at Boot Time
585
586
1.To automatically start the application on booting your server you need to modify your “crontab”, issue:
587
> export EDITOR=gedit
588
> crontab -e
589
590
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):
591
@reboot cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6 ; rm -f log/mongrel.pid ; mongrel_rails start -e production -p 3000 -d
592
593
h2. Backup
594
595
1.Running backups is always a good idea. Redmine backups should include:
596
* data (stored in your redmine database)
597
/usr/bin/mysqldump -u -p | gzip > /path/to/redmine/backup/db/redmine_`date +%y_%m_%d`.gz
598
* attachments (stored in the files directory of your Redmine install)
599
rsync -a /path/to/redmine/files /path/to/redmine/backup/files
600
601
2.Or you can use the bash shell to automate this kind of operation, issue:
602
> sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6
603
> sudo mkdir backup
604
> sudo mkdir backup/db
605
> sudo mkdir backup/files
606
> sudo gedit backup/runRedmineBackup.bash
607
608
And after open “runRedmineBackup.bash” with gedit, write all commands below:
609
<pre>
610
#!/bin/bash
611
data=`date -I`
612
mysqldump --user=root --password="redmine" --all-databases | gzip > db/backup-$data.sql.gz
613
cd db
614
ftp -i -n << EOF
615
open ftpserver.example.net
616
user username password
617
bin
618
mput backup-$data.sql.gz
619
bye
620
EOF
621
</pre>
622
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:
623
624
> export EDITOR=gedit
625
> crontab -e
626
Add 0 0 * * 0 cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/backup ; sh runRedmineBackup.bash commands to crontab to backup database weekly.
627
628
For this to work without any permission problems you have to change the permissions of the files to maximum, issue:
629
630
> sudo chmod -R 777 backup
631
> sudo chown -R redmine:redmine backup
632
633
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..!
