This a short (incomplete) howto for those who want to stay within the debian repository.

1. Basic install using postgresql backend
   See references for configuration
   Redmine version 1.4.4 is present the debian repository.
   

   aptitude install redmine redmine-pgsql redmine-plugin-botsfilter
   

1. make sure all the necesarry modules for apache are loaded
   See references for configuration
   eg.
   

   aptitude install libdbd-pg-perl
   

1. set up the vhosts
   See references for configuration
   1. svn, apache enabled site
      in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled dir a site containing
      

      <VirtualHost *:443>
              ServerAdmin email@of.you
              DocumentRoot /var/www/redmine
              ServerName your.dns.org
      
              SSLEngine On
      
              SSLCertificateFile    /etc/apache2/ssl/yourcert.pem
              SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/yourcert.key
              SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/ssl/yourcert.certificate_chain # optional, can be self signed
      
              <Directory /var/www/redmine>
                      RailsBaseURI /
                      PassengerResolveSymlinksInDocumentRoot on
                      # http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/misc/perf-tuning.html
                      AllowOverride None
              </Directory>
      
              ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
      
              # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
              # alert, emerg.
              LogLevel warn
      
              CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
      </VirtualHost>
      

in conf.d dir eg svn.conf

# /svn location for users
PerlLoadModule Apache::Redmine
<Location /svn>
    DAV svn
    SVNParentPath "/var/svn" 
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Satisfy any

    PerlAccessHandler Apache::Authn::Redmine::access_handler
    PerlAuthenHandler Apache::Authn::Redmine::authen_handler
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Projectwerk Subversion Repository" 

    #read-only access    
    <Limit GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
        Require valid-user
        # Allow from [my server ip]
        Allow from putyourserver.ipadress
        Allow from 127.0.0.1
        # Allow from another-ip
        Satisfy any
    </Limit>
    # write access
    <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
        Require valid-user
    </LimitExcept>
    ErrorDocument 404 default

    # postgresqlconnection
    RedmineDSN "DBI:Pg:dbname=redmine_default;host=localhost" 
    RedmineDbUser "redmine" 
    RedmineDbPass "geheim" 
</Location>

1. git

in conf.d dir a git.conf file

PerlLoadModule Apache::Redmine

SetEnv GIT_PROJECT_ROOT /var/git/
SetEnv GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL
ScriptAlias /git/ /usr/lib/git-core/git-http-backend/

<Location /git>
  AuthType Basic
  Require valid-user
  AuthName "Projectwerk Git Repository" 

  PerlAccessHandler Apache::Authn::Redmine::access_handler
  PerlAuthenHandler Apache::Authn::Redmine::authen_handler

  # postgresqlconnectie leggen
  RedmineDSN "DBI:Pg:dbname=redmine_default;host=localhost" 
  RedmineDbUser "redmine" 
  RedmineDbPass "geheim" 
</Location>

1. set up cron repository creation
   See references for configuration
• choose either only svn or git (one can only be the master repo)
• if you want both u will need to register the second repo (git or svn) by hand on the redmine project site, for that you also need to make you use force.
  

  eg
  */5 * * * * root ruby /usr/share/redmine/extra/svn/reposman.rb --redmine localhost --scm Subversion --svn-dir /var/svn --owner www-data --url file:///var/svn --key=ARAZERAEZRZAER >> /var/log/redmine/reposman.log
  */30 * * * * root ruby /usr/share/redmine/extra/svn/reposman.rb -r localhost --scm Git --svn-dir /var/git --owner www-data --url /var/git --key=ARAZRRAEZRAEZRAEZ --verbose -f >> /var/log/redmine/reposman.log
  

svn repo appear after enabling repository module on the site,
if u also have the git cron added, then u can add the git repo manually,
redmine will complain, but it exists. So checkout the git repo, add a file, commit and push to server, redmine will no longer complain.
