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.

h2. Create your data base and your user for your redmine installation.

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.

and you should be able to access Redmine at: http://redmine.server.ip.address/redmine
242
243
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.

274
275

276
277
h1. Ubuntu 10.04 using mod_cgi
278
279
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:
280
281
> $ sudo tasksel install lamp-server
282
283
Also, the default AppArmor configuration can get in the way, so you may need to set the mysqld profile to complain:
284
285
> $ sudo aa-complain /usr/sbin/mysqld
286
287
As of 10.04, Redmine is available through Ubuntu's package manager, and installation is simple:
288
289
> $ sudo apt-get install redmine redmine-mysql subversion
290
291
The second package, _redmine-mysql_, can be replaced by either _redmine-pgsql_ or _redmine-sqlite_ if you want to use either of those databases.
292
293
The installation process should prompt you for all the interesting details.
294
295
Redmine will now be installed in @/usr/share/redmine@ and @/etc/redmine@
296
297
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
356
357
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.
358
359
h2. Step 1: Install Ubuntu
360
361
If you are installing on a non-virtual Ubuntu instance, please skip this section.
362
363
*Installing VirtualBox:*
364
365
1.Download the latest version of Sun VirtualBox (version 3.0.10 or newer).
366
2.Install VirtualBox by following the instructions.
367
368
*Installing Ubuntu on VirtualBox:*
369
370
1.Download the latest version of Ubuntu (version 9.10 or newer).
371
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.
372
373
3.While installing Ubuntu you should enter the following configuration:
374
(This suggested configuration is optional, you can enter any names you want.)
375
Q: What is your name? A: Redmine Server
376
Q: What name do you want to use to login? A: redmine
377
Q: Choose to password to keep your account safe? A: redmine
378
Q: What is the name of this computer? A: redmine-server
379
Choose “Log in automatically.” radio button.
380
381
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:
382
> sudo apt-get update
383
> sudo apt-get upgrade
384
385
*Configuring VirtualBox:*
386
387
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.
388
389
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.
390
391
h2. Step 2: Install Redmine
392
393
Once you have a functioning Ubuntu operating system up and running, you can continue with installing Redmine.
394
395
h3. Install dependencies
396
397
The following packages are required to install and run Redmine. Please install them by running @apt-get@ as root:
398
399
>sudo apt-get install package-name
400
401
where @package-name@ is each of:
402
* apache2
403
* apache2-threaded-dev
404
* build-essential
405
* libapache-dbi-perl
406
* libapache2-mod-perl2
407
* libapache2-svn
408
* libdigest-sha1-perl
409
* libgemplugin-ruby
410
* libgemplugin-ruby1.8
411
* libruby-extras
412
* libruby1.8-extras
413
* mongrel
414
* mysql-server
415
* rails
416
* rake
417
* ruby
418
* rubygems
419
* rubygems1.8
420
* ruby1.8-dev
421
* subversion
422
423
_(Could someone please clean up this list?)_
424
425
h3. Package Installation and Setup
426
427
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:
428
> sudo apt-get install
429
> sudo apt-get install
430
(_Surely some missing package names above?_)
431
432
The packages we’re installing above are MySQL, phpMyAdmin, Rails, Ruby Gems, Mongrel and Ruby Dev environment.
433
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”.
434
435
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:
436
> sudo mkdir /opt/redmine
437
> sudo cd /opt/redmine
438
> sudo wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/66633/redmine-0.8.6.tar.gz
439
> tar -xvf redmine-0.8.6.tar.gz
440
441
h3. Database Setup
442
443
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.
444
Type in “root” and the MySQL “password” you created when installing MySQL.
445
446
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”.
447
448
3.Now, go back to the home screen and click on:
449
“Privileges”
450
“Add a new User”
451
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.
452
In the “Database for user” section, check “Create database with same name and grant all privileges” and click on the “Go” button.
453
454
4.Log out of phpMyAdmin.
455
456
h3. Redmine Database Connection Configuration
457
458
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:
459
> sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/config
460
461
2.So now, assuming you’re in the “/opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/config” directory, issue:
462
> sudo cp database.yml.example database.yml
463
464
3.Then, open the “database.yml” file, issue:
465
> sudo gedit database.yml
466
… and edit it as in the example for a MySQL database below:
467
468
production:
469
adapter: mysql
470
socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
471
database: redmine
472
host: localhost
473
username: redmine
474
password: [password]
475
476
Then save the “database.yml” file and exit to the command prompt.
477
On Ubuntu the “mysql.sock” is located in /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock, as noted in the “config” above.
478
(The standard Redmine installation assumes the socket is located in “/opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/tmp/mysqld.sock”.)
479
480
4.Create the database structure, by running the following command under the application root directory (I mean “/opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6”):
481
> sudo rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV="production"
482
It will create the necessary tables in the redmine database you created earlier and an administrator account.
483
484
5.Insert the default configuration data in to the database, by issuing:
485
> sudo rake redmine:load_default_data RAILS_ENV="production"
486
(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.)
487
488
h3. Setting up Permissions
489
490
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:
491
> sudo mkdir /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6
492
493
2.If you haven’t created a Redmine user, do it now by issuing:
494
> sudo useradd redmine
495
496
3.Now, assuming you run Redmine with a redmine user, from your /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6 directory issue:
497
> sudo chown -R redmine:redmine files log tmp
498
> sudo chmod -R 755 files log tmp
499
500
h3. Testing the Installation
501
502
1.It should all be working now. Test the installation by running the WEBrick web server issue:
503
> sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6
504
> sudo ruby script/server -e production
505
506
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.
507
508
*Log in:*
509
510
1.Use default administrator account to log in:
511
Login : admin
512
Password : admin
513
514
2.You can go to Admin & Settings to modify application settings.
515
516
h3. Setting Up Static IP
517
518
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.
519
520
2.Or you should determine the configuration parameters given below, and then you can configure your system to have a static IP address:
521
The desired IP address
522
Network mask and broadcast address
523
Gateway address
524
Your local DNS server address(es)
525
526
h3. Assigning Host Name and Domain for VirtualBox OS
527
528
1.An easier method for adding your IP address - Host name pair configuration to your DNS server . Consult your network administrator.
529
530
h2. Configuring the Passenger Apache module
531
532
Passenger is a module for apache2 that allows Apache to run Ruby on Rails applications. Install it thus:
533
534
>$ sudo gem install passenger
535
536
Then go to the passenger apache2 module installation directory and run @passenger-install-apache2-module@
537
538
> $ cd /var/lib/gems/1.X/gems/passenger-X.X.X/
539
540
> $ sudo bin/passenger-install-apache2-module
541
542
Next, configure Apache:
543
544
In /etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.load we will add next line
545
546
> LoadModule passenger_module /var/lib/gems/1.X/gems/passenger-X.X.X/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
547
548
We have to edit the conf of the passenger apache2 module in /etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.conf
549
550
> PassengerRoot /var/lib/gems/1.X/gems/passenger-X.X.X
551
> PassengerRuby /usr/bin/ruby1.X
552
553
And now we activate the module
554
555
> $ sudo a2enmod passenger
556
557

h2. Sendmail Server Configuration
603
604
1.Before configuring email support for Redmine, we should download the sendmail application for Ubuntu, issue:
605
606
> sudo apt-get install sendmail
607
608
> sudo sendmailconfig
609
610
(Answer Yes to all questions which you will be asked)
611
612
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:
613 37 João Lencart e Silva
> sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/config
614
615 36 Anonymous
616
617
3.So now, assuming you’re in the “/config” directory, issue:
618
> sudo cp email.yml.example email.yml
619
620
4.Then, open the “email.yml” file, issue:
621
> sudo gedit email.yml
622
… and edit it as in the example for sendmail configuration below:
623
624
production:
625
delivery_method: :sendmail
626
sendmail_settings:
627
location: /usr/sbin/sendmail
628
arguments: -i -t
629
address: smtp.example.net
630
port: 25
631
domain: example.net
632
authentication: :none
633
user_name: redmine@example.net
634
password: redmine
635
636
Then save “email.yml” file and exit to the command prompt.
637 37 João Lencart e Silva
638
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”.
639
640
h2. Email configuration for Ubuntu 12.04 with redmine >v1.4.3
641
642
1. Instead of creating an email.yml, edit config/configuration.yml and add a section
643
<pre>
644
production:
645
   email_delivery:
646
     delivery_method: :smtp
647
...</pre>
648
649
or
650
651
<pre>production:
652
   email_delivery:
653
     delivery_method: :sendmail
654
...</pre>
655
656
Please see http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/EmailConfiguration for the correct format of the full email block.
657
658
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:
659
@config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = false@

h2. Subversion Installation and Configuration
666
667
1.Before configuring Subversion support for Redmine, we should download the Subversion application for Ubuntu, issue:
668
> sudo apt-get install subversion
669
670
2.If your Redmine can't find the “subversion” command you can help to find by issuing:
671
· > sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/config
672
· > sudo gedit environment.rb
673
· Add ENV['PATH'] = "#{ENV['PATH']}:/subversion/path" line in it.
674
· Save and close the “environment.rb”
675
676
h2. Start Application at Boot Time
677
678
1.To automatically start the application on booting your server you need to modify your “crontab”, issue:
679
> export EDITOR=gedit
680
> crontab -e
681
682
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):
683
@reboot cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6 ; rm -f log/mongrel.pid ; mongrel_rails start -e production -p 3000 -d
684
685
h2. Backup
686
687
1.Running backups is always a good idea. Redmine backups should include:
688
* data (stored in your redmine database)
689
/usr/bin/mysqldump -u -p | gzip > /path/to/redmine/backup/db/redmine_`date +%y_%m_%d`.gz
690
* attachments (stored in the files directory of your Redmine install)
691
rsync -a /path/to/redmine/files /path/to/redmine/backup/files
692
693
2.Or you can use the bash shell to automate this kind of operation, issue:
694
> sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6
695
> sudo mkdir backup
696
> sudo mkdir backup/db
697
> sudo mkdir backup/files
698
> sudo gedit backup/runRedmineBackup.bash
699
700
And after open “runRedmineBackup.bash” with gedit, write all commands below:
701
<pre>
702
#!/bin/bash
703
data=`date -I`
704
mysqldump --user=root --password="redmine" --all-databases | gzip > db/backup-$data.sql.gz
705
cd db
706
ftp -i -n << EOF
707
open ftpserver.example.net
708
user username password
709
bin
710
mput backup-$data.sql.gz
711
bye
712
EOF
713
</pre>
714
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:
715
716
> export EDITOR=gedit
717
> crontab -e
718
Add 0 0 * * 0 cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/backup ; sh runRedmineBackup.bash commands to crontab to backup database weekly.
719
720
For this to work without any permission problems you have to change the permissions of the files to maximum, issue:
721
722
> sudo chmod -R 777 backup
723
> sudo chown -R redmine:redmine backup
724
725
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..!
