h1. HowTo Install Redmine 2 integrated with Gitolite 2 on Debian Wheezy with Apache and Phusion Passenger
h2. About
A quick step-by-step for install Redmine and Gitolite plugin on Debian Wheezy mainly using default packages.
If I missed something, "let me know":http://www.redmine.org/users/85560
h2. Required packages
<pre>apt-get -y install sudo ssh bzip2 zip unzip apache2 libapache2-mod-passenger mysql-server libmysqlclient-dev ruby ruby1.9.1-dev git git-core gitolite libmagickcore-dev libmagickwand-dev</pre>
h2. Users and ssh-key
Create an user for Redmine and another for Gitolite:
<pre>adduser --system --shell /bin/bash --gecos 'Git Administrator' --group --disabled-password --home /opt/gitolite git
adduser --system --shell /bin/bash --gecos 'Redmine Administrator' --group --disabled-password --home /opt/redmine redmine</pre>
Generate a ssh-key for *redmine* user. This user will be used as admin of Gitolite. The name of key should be *redmine_gitolite_admin_id_rsa*.
<pre>sudo su - redmine
ssh-keygen -t rsa -N '' -f ~/.ssh/redmine_gitolite_admin_id_rsa
exit</pre>
h2. Configuring Gitolite
<pre>dpkg-reconfigure gitolite</pre>
Type data bellow:
* user: git
* repos path: /opt/gitolite
* admin ssh-key: /opt/redmine/.ssh/redmine_gitolite_admin_id_rsa.pub
{{collapse(Note about SSH)
If you try to connect gitolite (user: git) using redmine user via ssh, will be prompted password... OMG! but both users wasn't created without password? See what happens:
<pre>redmine@redmine:~$ ssh -v git@localhost
...
The authenticity of host 'localhost (::1)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is d5:da:b9:10:c4:9b:51:75:65:f3:64:81:b5:6c:1a:1a.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
...
...
*debug1: Trying private key: /opt/redmine/.ssh/id_rsa*
*debug1: Trying private key: /opt/redmine/.ssh/id_dsa*
*debug1: Trying private key: /opt/redmine/.ssh/id_ecdsa*
debug1: Next authentication method: password
git@localhost's password:</pre>
You can solve this by simply creating a symbolic link:
<pre>ln -s /opt/redmine/.ssh/redmine_gitolite_admin_id_rsa /opt/redmine/.ssh/id_rsa</pre>
Or even using ssh -i identity_file (check http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?ssh+1 for more details)

h2. Visudo configuration
<pre>visudo</pre>
Add the following lines:
<pre># temp - remove after installation
redmine ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
# redmine gitolite integration
redmine ALL=(git) NOPASSWD:ALL
git ALL=(redmine) NOPASSWD:ALL</pre>
Note that redmine user will be able to run root commands, but this is just to simplify the next steps, remove that line after installation.
h2. Redmine installation
The installation and configuration is like the official documentation. Simply reproducing to maintain the flow on this how-to.
<pre>sudo su - redmine
cd ~
wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/77023/redmine-2.3.2.tar.gz
tar zxf redmine-2.3.2.tar.gz
mv redmine-2.3.2/* .
rm -Rf redmine-2.3.2
</pre>
h3. Create database and user
<pre>mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE redmine CHARACTER SET utf8;
CREATE USER 'redmine'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'redmine';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON redmine.* TO 'redmine'@'localhost';</pre>
h3. Configure database and email
<pre>cd /opt/redmine/config
cp database.yml.example database.yml
cp configuration.yml.example configuration.yml</pre>

* http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineInstall#Step-3-Database-connection-configuration
* http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineInstall#Configuration
Create plugin assets directory
<pre>cd ~
mkdir public/plugin_assets
</pre>
Now finish the installation.
<pre>sudo gem install bundler
bundle install --without development test postgresql sqlite
rake generate_secret_token
RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate
RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine:load_default_data</pre>
h2. Redmine Gitolite integration
The plugin used on this how-to is the fork of jbox-web, you can get more information at:
* http://www.redmine.org/plugins/redmine-gitolite
* http://jbox-web.github.io/redmine_git_hosting/
* https://github.com/jbox-web/redmine_git_hosting
Download.
<pre>cd ~/plugins
git clone https://github.com/jbox-web/redmine_git_hosting.git</pre>
Install. It's necessary to run bundle again to install some new gems required by redmine_git_hosting plugin.
<pre>cd ~
bundle install
RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine:plugins:migrate
rake redmine_git_hosting:install_scripts RAILS_ENV=production WEB_USER=redmine</pre>
h2. Apache mod_passenger configuration
Create a symbolic link.
<pre>su root
cd /var/www
ln -s /opt/redmine/public redmine</pre>
Configure the site.
<pre>vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/redmine</pre>
With following content:
<pre>RailsBaseURI /redmine
PassengerUserSwitching on
PassengerUser redmine
PassengerGroup redmine</pre>
Enable the site and restart apache.
<pre>a2ensite redmine
service apache2 restart</pre>
