HowTo Install Redmine 1.2.x with Mercurial and Subversion on Ubuntu Server 10.04

Redmine Installation

  1. Install the LAMP stack
    $ sudo tasksel install lamp-server
    
  2. Install the required packages
    $ sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion llibmysqlclient15-dev libdigest-sha1-perl libgemplugin-ruby libgemplugin-ruby1.8 libruby-extras libruby1.8-extras rails rake ruby rubygems rubygems1.8 ruby1.8-dev libopenssl-ruby1.8 
    
  3. Install the required Ruby gems
    $ sudo gem install rails -v=2.3.11 --no-ri --no-rdoc
    $ sudo gem install rake -v=0.8.7 --no-ri --no-rdoc
    $ sudo gem uninstall rake -v=0.9.2 
    $ sudo gem install i18n -v=0.4.2 --no-ri --no-rdoc
    $ sudo gem install mysql --no-ri --no-rdoc
    
  4. Download Redmine into /user/share/redmine directory
    $ sudo svn co http://redmine.rubyforge.org/svn/branches/1.2-stable /usr/share/redmine
    
  5. Create an empty MySQL database and accompanying user named redmine for example.
    $ mysql -u root -p
    (enter the mysql root user password)
    > create database redmine character set utf8;
    > create user 'redmine'@'localhost' identified by '[password]';
    > grant all privileges on redmine.* to 'redmine'@'localhost' identified by '[password]';
    > exit
    
  6. Copy config/database.yml.example to config/database.yml and edit this file in order to configure your database settings for "production" environment.
    $ sudo cp /usr/share/redmine/config/database.yml.example /usr/share/redmine/config/database.yml
    
    $ sudo nano /usr/share/redmine/config/database.yml
    
    Modify to the following and save (ctrl+x)
    
    production:
      adapter: mysql
      socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
      database: redmine
      host: localhost
      username: redmine
      password: [password]
      encoding: utf8
    
  7. Generate a session store secret.
    $ cd /usr/share/redmine
    
    $ sudo rake generate_session_store
    
  8. Create the database structure, by running the following command under the application root directory:
    $ cd /usr/share/redmine
    
    $ sudo rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV="production" 
    
  9. Insert default configuration data in database, by running the following command:
    $ sudo RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine:load_default_data
    
  10. Setting up permissions
    $ cd /usr/share/redmine
    $ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data files log tmp public/plugin_assets
    $ sudo chmod -R 755 files log tmp public/plugin_assets
    
  11. Test using the webrick web server
    $ cd /usr/share/redmine
    
    $ ruby script/server webrick -e production
    
    Point your web browser at http://[my server ip]:3000
    
    You should now see the application welcome page.
    

Apache Integration

  1. Install the required packages
    $ sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-passenger
    
  2. Add a symbolic link to the public redmine web directory
    $ sudo ln -s /usr/share/redmine/public /var/www/redmine
    
  3. Configure Passanger to run as www-data
    $ sudo nano /etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.conf
    
    Add the follow line and save (ctrl+x)
    
    PassengerDefaultUser www-data
    
  4. Create a new Apache site file
     
    $ sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/redmine 
    

    Add the following lines and save (ctrl+x)
    <VirtualHost *:80>
            ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
            DocumentRoot /var/www
            ServerName myservername
    
            RewriteEngine on
            RewriteRule   ^/$  /redmine  [R]
    
            <Directory /var/www/redmine>
                    RailsBaseURI /redmine
                    PassengerResolveSymlinksInDocumentRoot on
            </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>
    

    For SSL add the following text instead
    <VirtualHost *:443>
            ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
            DocumentRoot /var/www
            ServerName myservername
    
            SSLEngine On
            SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/redmine.pem
    
            RewriteEngine on
            RewriteRule   ^/$  /redmine  [R]
    
            <Directory /var/www/redmine>
                    RailsBaseURI /redmine
                    PassengerResolveSymlinksInDocumentRoot on
            </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>
    
  5. Enable the Redmine website

          end
        end
      end
    
  3. Schedule the reposman.rb script to run every minute
    $ sudo nano /etc/cron.d/redmine
    

    Add one of the following lines (not both) and save.
    (Note: you will need to replace [my API key] with the API key you generated in step 1)
    .
    To create subversion repositories
    * * * * * root ruby /usr/share/redmine/extra/svn/reposman.rb --redmine localhost/redmine --scm Subversion --svn-dir /var/www/hg/repos --owner www-data --url file:///var/www/svn --key=[my API key] --verbose >> /var/log/reposman.log
    

    OR to create Mecurial repositories
