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.

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.

>apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
40
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.

77 44 Recent Coin
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.
78
79
For MySQL:  CREATE 'user'@'hostname' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';  CREATE DATABASE 'myredminedb'; GRANT ALL ON 'myredminedb'.* TO 'user'@'hostname'; FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
80
81
For PostgreSQL: CREATE USER user WITH PASSWORD 'password'; CREATE DATABASE myredminedb;GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE myredminedb to user;
82
83 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:
84
85
>su - postgres
86
>psql
87
88
This will take you to the postgres database prompt.  
89
90
>ALTER USER postgres with password 'my-secure-password';
91
92
This will set the password.  You can now proceed to editing the postgres configuration files so that you can connect remotely.

h1. Ubuntu 10.04 using mod_cgi
292
293
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:
294
295
> $ sudo tasksel install lamp-server
296
297
Also, the default AppArmor configuration can get in the way, so you may need to set the mysqld profile to complain:
298
299
> $ sudo aa-complain /usr/sbin/mysqld
300
301
As of 10.04, Redmine is available through Ubuntu's package manager, and installation is simple:
302
303
> $ sudo apt-get install redmine redmine-mysql subversion
304
305
The second package, _redmine-mysql_, can be replaced by either _redmine-pgsql_ or _redmine-sqlite_ if you want to use either of those databases.
306
307
The installation process should prompt you for all the interesting details.
308
309
Redmine will now be installed in @/usr/share/redmine@ and @/etc/redmine@
310
311
If you set your AppArmor mysqld profile to complain you ought to set it back to enforce:

h1. Redmine Installation on Virtual or Normal Ubuntu < 10.04
370
371
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.
372
373
h2. Step 1: Install Ubuntu
374
375
If you are installing on a non-virtual Ubuntu instance, please skip this section.
376
377
*Installing VirtualBox:*
378
379
1.Download the latest version of Sun VirtualBox (version 3.0.10 or newer).
380
2.Install VirtualBox by following the instructions.
381
382
*Installing Ubuntu on VirtualBox:*
383
384
1.Download the latest version of Ubuntu (version 9.10 or newer).
385
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.
386
387
3.While installing Ubuntu you should enter the following configuration:
388
(This suggested configuration is optional, you can enter any names you want.)
389
Q: What is your name? A: Redmine Server
390
Q: What name do you want to use to login? A: redmine
391
Q: Choose to password to keep your account safe? A: redmine
392
Q: What is the name of this computer? A: redmine-server
393
Choose “Log in automatically.” radio button.
394
395
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:
396
> sudo apt-get update
397
> sudo apt-get upgrade
398
399
*Configuring VirtualBox:*
400
401
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.
402
403
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.
404
405
h2. Step 2: Install Redmine
406
407
Once you have a functioning Ubuntu operating system up and running, you can continue with installing Redmine.
408
409
h3. Install dependencies
410
411
The following packages are required to install and run Redmine. Please install them by running @apt-get@ as root:
412
413
>sudo apt-get install package-name
414
415
where @package-name@ is each of:
416
* apache2
417
* apache2-threaded-dev
418
* build-essential
419
* libapache-dbi-perl
420
* libapache2-mod-perl2
421
* libapache2-svn
422
* libdigest-sha1-perl
423
* libgemplugin-ruby
424
* libgemplugin-ruby1.8
425
* libruby-extras
426
* libruby1.8-extras
427
* mongrel
428
* mysql-server
429
* rails
430
* rake
431
* ruby
432
* rubygems
433
* rubygems1.8
434
* ruby1.8-dev
435
* subversion
436
437
_(Could someone please clean up this list?)_
438
439
h3. Package Installation and Setup
440
441
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:
442
> sudo apt-get install
443
> sudo apt-get install
444
(_Surely some missing package names above?_)
445
446
The packages we’re installing above are MySQL, phpMyAdmin, Rails, Ruby Gems, Mongrel and Ruby Dev environment.
447
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”.
448
449
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:
450
> sudo mkdir /opt/redmine

h3. Database Setup
456
457
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.
458
Type in “root” and the MySQL “password” you created when installing MySQL.
459
460
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”.
461
462
3.Now, go back to the home screen and click on:
463
“Privileges”
464
“Add a new User”
465
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.
466
In the “Database for user” section, check “Create database with same name and grant all privileges” and click on the “Go” button.
467
468
4.Log out of phpMyAdmin.
469
470
h3. Redmine Database Connection Configuration
471
472
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:
473
> sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/config
474
475
2.So now, assuming you’re in the “/opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/config” directory, issue:
476
> sudo cp database.yml.example database.yml
477
478
3.Then, open the “database.yml” file, issue:
479
> sudo gedit database.yml
480
… and edit it as in the example for a MySQL database below:
481
482
production:
483
adapter: mysql
484
socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
485
database: redmine
486
host: localhost
487
username: redmine
488
password: [password]
489
490
Then save the “database.yml” file and exit to the command prompt.
491
On Ubuntu the “mysql.sock” is located in /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock, as noted in the “config” above.
492
(The standard Redmine installation assumes the socket is located in “/opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/tmp/mysqld.sock”.)
493
494
4.Create the database structure, by running the following command under the application root directory (I mean “/opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6”):
495
> sudo rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV="production"
496
It will create the necessary tables in the redmine database you created earlier and an administrator account.
497
498
5.Insert the default configuration data in to the database, by issuing:
499
> sudo rake redmine:load_default_data RAILS_ENV="production"
500
(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.)
501
502
h3. Setting up Permissions
503
504
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:
505
> sudo mkdir /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6
506
507
2.If you haven’t created a Redmine user, do it now by issuing:
508
> sudo useradd redmine
509
510
3.Now, assuming you run Redmine with a redmine user, from your /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6 directory issue:
511
> sudo chown -R redmine:redmine files log tmp
512
> sudo chmod -R 755 files log tmp
513
514
h3. Testing the Installation
515
516
1.It should all be working now. Test the installation by running the WEBrick web server issue:
517
> sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6
518
> sudo ruby script/server -e production
519
520
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.
521
522
*Log in:*
523
524
1.Use default administrator account to log in:
525
Login : admin
526
Password : admin
527
528
2.You can go to Admin & Settings to modify application settings.
529
530
h3. Setting Up Static IP
531
532
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.
533
534
2.Or you should determine the configuration parameters given below, and then you can configure your system to have a static IP address:
535
The desired IP address
536
Network mask and broadcast address
537
Gateway address
538
Your local DNS server address(es)
539
540
h3. Assigning Host Name and Domain for VirtualBox OS
541
542
1.An easier method for adding your IP address - Host name pair configuration to your DNS server . Consult your network administrator.
543
544
h2. Configuring the Passenger Apache module
545
546
Passenger is a module for apache2 that allows Apache to run Ruby on Rails applications. Install it thus:
547
548
>$ sudo gem install passenger
549
550
Then go to the passenger apache2 module installation directory and run @passenger-install-apache2-module@
551
552
> $ cd /var/lib/gems/1.X/gems/passenger-X.X.X/
553
554
> $ sudo bin/passenger-install-apache2-module
555
556
Next, configure Apache:
557
558
In /etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.load we will add next line
559
560
> LoadModule passenger_module /var/lib/gems/1.X/gems/passenger-X.X.X/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
561
562
We have to edit the conf of the passenger apache2 module in /etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.conf
563
564
> PassengerRoot /var/lib/gems/1.X/gems/passenger-X.X.X
565
> PassengerRuby /usr/bin/ruby1.X
566
567
And now we activate the module
568
569
> $ sudo a2enmod passenger
570

h2. Sendmail Server Configuration
617
618
1.Before configuring email support for Redmine, we should download the sendmail application for Ubuntu, issue:
619
620
> sudo apt-get install sendmail
621
622
> sudo sendmailconfig
623
624
(Answer Yes to all questions which you will be asked)
625
626
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:
627 37 João Lencart e Silva
> sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/config
628
629 36 Anonymous
630
631
3.So now, assuming you’re in the “/config” directory, issue:
632
> sudo cp email.yml.example email.yml
633
634
4.Then, open the “email.yml” file, issue:
635
> sudo gedit email.yml
636
… and edit it as in the example for sendmail configuration below:
637
638
production:
639
delivery_method: :sendmail
640
sendmail_settings:
641
location: /usr/sbin/sendmail
642
arguments: -i -t
643
address: smtp.example.net
644
port: 25
645
domain: example.net
646
authentication: :none
647
user_name: redmine@example.net
648
password: redmine
649
650
Then save “email.yml” file and exit to the command prompt.
651 37 João Lencart e Silva
652
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”.
653
654
h2. Email configuration for Ubuntu 12.04 with redmine >v1.4.3
655
656
1. Instead of creating an email.yml, edit config/configuration.yml and add a section
657
<pre>
658
production:
659
   email_delivery:
660
     delivery_method: :smtp
661
...</pre>
662
663
or
664
665
<pre>production:
666
   email_delivery:
667
     delivery_method: :sendmail
668
...</pre>
669
670
Please see http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/EmailConfiguration for the correct format of the full email block.
671
672
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:
673
@config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = false@
674

h2. Subversion Installation and Configuration
680
681
1.Before configuring Subversion support for Redmine, we should download the Subversion application for Ubuntu, issue:
682
> sudo apt-get install subversion
683
684
2.If your Redmine can't find the “subversion” command you can help to find by issuing:
685
· > sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/config
686
· > sudo gedit environment.rb
687
· Add ENV['PATH'] = "#{ENV['PATH']}:/subversion/path" line in it.
688
· Save and close the “environment.rb”
689
690
h2. Start Application at Boot Time
691
692
1.To automatically start the application on booting your server you need to modify your “crontab”, issue:
693
> export EDITOR=gedit
694
> crontab -e
695
696
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):
697
@reboot cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6 ; rm -f log/mongrel.pid ; mongrel_rails start -e production -p 3000 -d
698
699
h2. Backup
700
701
1.Running backups is always a good idea. Redmine backups should include:
702
* data (stored in your redmine database)
703
/usr/bin/mysqldump -u -p | gzip > /path/to/redmine/backup/db/redmine_`date +%y_%m_%d`.gz
704
* attachments (stored in the files directory of your Redmine install)
705
rsync -a /path/to/redmine/files /path/to/redmine/backup/files
706
707
2.Or you can use the bash shell to automate this kind of operation, issue:
708
> sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6
709
> sudo mkdir backup
710
> sudo mkdir backup/db
711
> sudo mkdir backup/files
712
> sudo gedit backup/runRedmineBackup.bash
713
714
And after open “runRedmineBackup.bash” with gedit, write all commands below:
715
<pre>
716
#!/bin/bash
717
data=`date -I`
718
mysqldump --user=root --password="redmine" --all-databases | gzip > db/backup-$data.sql.gz
719
cd db
720
ftp -i -n << EOF
721
open ftpserver.example.net
722
user username password
723
bin
724
mput backup-$data.sql.gz
725
bye
726
EOF
727
</pre>
728
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:
729
730
> export EDITOR=gedit
731
> crontab -e
732
Add 0 0 * * 0 cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/backup ; sh runRedmineBackup.bash commands to crontab to backup database weekly.
733
734
For this to work without any permission problems you have to change the permissions of the files to maximum, issue:
735
736
> sudo chmod -R 777 backup
737
> sudo chown -R redmine:redmine backup
738
739
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..!
