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.

h1. Ubuntu 10.04 using mod_cgi
302
303
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:
304
305
> $ sudo tasksel install lamp-server
306
307
Also, the default AppArmor configuration can get in the way, so you may need to set the mysqld profile to complain:
308
309
> $ sudo aa-complain /usr/sbin/mysqld
310
311
As of 10.04, Redmine is available through Ubuntu's package manager, and installation is simple:
312
313
> $ sudo apt-get install redmine redmine-mysql subversion
314
315
The second package, _redmine-mysql_, can be replaced by either _redmine-pgsql_ or _redmine-sqlite_ if you want to use either of those databases.
316
317
The installation process should prompt you for all the interesting details.
318
319
Redmine will now be installed in @/usr/share/redmine@ and @/etc/redmine@
320
321
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
380
381
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.
382
383
h2. Step 1: Install Ubuntu
384
385
If you are installing on a non-virtual Ubuntu instance, please skip this section.
386
387
*Installing VirtualBox:*
388
389
1.Download the latest version of Sun VirtualBox (version 3.0.10 or newer).
390
2.Install VirtualBox by following the instructions.
391
392
*Installing Ubuntu on VirtualBox:*
393
394
1.Download the latest version of Ubuntu (version 9.10 or newer).
395
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.
396
397
3.While installing Ubuntu you should enter the following configuration:
398
(This suggested configuration is optional, you can enter any names you want.)
399
Q: What is your name? A: Redmine Server
400
Q: What name do you want to use to login? A: redmine
401
Q: Choose to password to keep your account safe? A: redmine
402
Q: What is the name of this computer? A: redmine-server
403
Choose “Log in automatically.” radio button.
404
405
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:
406
> sudo apt-get update
407
> sudo apt-get upgrade
408
409
*Configuring VirtualBox:*
410
411
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.
412
413
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.
414
415
h2. Step 2: Install Redmine
416
417
Once you have a functioning Ubuntu operating system up and running, you can continue with installing Redmine.
418
419
h3. Install dependencies
420
421
The following packages are required to install and run Redmine. Please install them by running @apt-get@ as root:
422
423
>sudo apt-get install package-name
424
425
where @package-name@ is each of:
426
* apache2
427
* apache2-threaded-dev
428
* build-essential
429
* libapache-dbi-perl
430
* libapache2-mod-perl2
431
* libapache2-svn
432
* libdigest-sha1-perl
433
* libgemplugin-ruby
434
* libgemplugin-ruby1.8
435
* libruby-extras
436
* libruby1.8-extras
437
* mongrel
438
* mysql-server
439
* rails
440
* rake
441
* ruby
442
* rubygems
443
* rubygems1.8
444
* ruby1.8-dev
445
* subversion
446
447
_(Could someone please clean up this list?)_
448
449
h3. Package Installation and Setup
450
451
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:
452
> sudo apt-get install
453
> sudo apt-get install
454
(_Surely some missing package names above?_)
455
456
The packages we’re installing above are MySQL, phpMyAdmin, Rails, Ruby Gems, Mongrel and Ruby Dev environment.
457
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”.
458
459
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:
460
> sudo mkdir /opt/redmine
461
> sudo cd /opt/redmine
462
> sudo wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/66633/redmine-0.8.6.tar.gz
463
> tar -xvf redmine-0.8.6.tar.gz
464
465
h3. Database Setup
466
467
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.
468
Type in “root” and the MySQL “password” you created when installing MySQL.
469
470
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”.
471
472
3.Now, go back to the home screen and click on:
473
“Privileges”
474
“Add a new User”
475
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.
476
In the “Database for user” section, check “Create database with same name and grant all privileges” and click on the “Go” button.
477
478
4.Log out of phpMyAdmin.
479
480
h3. Redmine Database Connection Configuration
481
482
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:
483
> sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/config
484
485
2.So now, assuming you’re in the “/opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/config” directory, issue:
486
> sudo cp database.yml.example database.yml
487
488
3.Then, open the “database.yml” file, issue:
489
> sudo gedit database.yml
490
… and edit it as in the example for a MySQL database below:
491
492
production:
493
adapter: mysql
494
socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
495
database: redmine
496
host: localhost
497
username: redmine
498
password: [password]
499
500
Then save the “database.yml” file and exit to the command prompt.
501
On Ubuntu the “mysql.sock” is located in /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock, as noted in the “config” above.
502
(The standard Redmine installation assumes the socket is located in “/opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/tmp/mysqld.sock”.)
503
504
4.Create the database structure, by running the following command under the application root directory (I mean “/opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6”):
505
> sudo rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV="production"
506
It will create the necessary tables in the redmine database you created earlier and an administrator account.
507
508
5.Insert the default configuration data in to the database, by issuing:
509
> sudo rake redmine:load_default_data RAILS_ENV="production"
510
(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.)
511
512
h3. Setting up Permissions
513
514
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:
515
> sudo mkdir /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6
516
517
2.If you haven’t created a Redmine user, do it now by issuing:
518
> sudo useradd redmine
519
520
3.Now, assuming you run Redmine with a redmine user, from your /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6 directory issue:
521
> sudo chown -R redmine:redmine files log tmp
522
> sudo chmod -R 755 files log tmp
523
524
h3. Testing the Installation
525
526
1.It should all be working now. Test the installation by running the WEBrick web server issue:
527
> sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6
528
> sudo ruby script/server -e production
529
530
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.
531
532
*Log in:*
533
534
1.Use default administrator account to log in:
535
Login : admin
536
Password : admin
537
538
2.You can go to Admin & Settings to modify application settings.
539
540
h3. Setting Up Static IP
541
542
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.
543
544
2.Or you should determine the configuration parameters given below, and then you can configure your system to have a static IP address:
545
The desired IP address
546
Network mask and broadcast address
547
Gateway address
548
Your local DNS server address(es)
549
550
h3. Assigning Host Name and Domain for VirtualBox OS
551
552
1.An easier method for adding your IP address - Host name pair configuration to your DNS server . Consult your network administrator.
553
554
h2. Configuring the Passenger Apache module
555
556
Passenger is a module for apache2 that allows Apache to run Ruby on Rails applications. Install it thus:
557
558
>$ sudo gem install passenger
559
560
Then go to the passenger apache2 module installation directory and run @passenger-install-apache2-module@
561
562
> $ cd /var/lib/gems/1.X/gems/passenger-X.X.X/
563
564
> $ sudo bin/passenger-install-apache2-module
565
566
Next, configure Apache:
567
568
In /etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.load we will add next line
569
570
> LoadModule passenger_module /var/lib/gems/1.X/gems/passenger-X.X.X/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
571
572
We have to edit the conf of the passenger apache2 module in /etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.conf
573
574
> PassengerRoot /var/lib/gems/1.X/gems/passenger-X.X.X
575
> PassengerRuby /usr/bin/ruby1.X
576
577
And now we activate the module
578
579
> $ sudo a2enmod passenger
580

h2. Sendmail Server Configuration
627
628
1.Before configuring email support for Redmine, we should download the sendmail application for Ubuntu, issue:
629
630
> sudo apt-get install sendmail
631
632
> sudo sendmailconfig
633
634
(Answer Yes to all questions which you will be asked)
635
636
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:
637 37 João Lencart e Silva
> sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/config
638
639 36 Anonymous
640
641
3.So now, assuming you’re in the “/config” directory, issue:
642
> sudo cp email.yml.example email.yml
643
644
4.Then, open the “email.yml” file, issue:
645
> sudo gedit email.yml
646
… and edit it as in the example for sendmail configuration below:
647
648
production:
649
delivery_method: :sendmail
650
sendmail_settings:
651
location: /usr/sbin/sendmail
652
arguments: -i -t
653
address: smtp.example.net
654
port: 25
655
domain: example.net
656
authentication: :none
657
user_name: redmine@example.net
658
password: redmine
659
660
Then save “email.yml” file and exit to the command prompt.
661 37 João Lencart e Silva
662
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”.
663
664
h2. Email configuration for Ubuntu 12.04 with redmine >v1.4.3
665
666
1. Instead of creating an email.yml, edit config/configuration.yml and add a section
667
<pre>
668
production:
669
   email_delivery:
670
     delivery_method: :smtp
671
...</pre>
672
673
or
674
675
<pre>production:
676
   email_delivery:
677
     delivery_method: :sendmail
678
...</pre>
679
680
Please see http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/EmailConfiguration for the correct format of the full email block.
681
682
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:
683
@config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = false@
684

h2. Subversion Installation and Configuration
690
691
1.Before configuring Subversion support for Redmine, we should download the Subversion application for Ubuntu, issue:
692
> sudo apt-get install subversion
693
694
2.If your Redmine can't find the “subversion” command you can help to find by issuing:
695
· > sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/config
696
· > sudo gedit environment.rb
697
· Add ENV['PATH'] = "#{ENV['PATH']}:/subversion/path" line in it.
698
· Save and close the “environment.rb”
699
700
h2. Start Application at Boot Time
701
702
1.To automatically start the application on booting your server you need to modify your “crontab”, issue:
703
> export EDITOR=gedit
704
> crontab -e
705
706
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):
707
@reboot cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6 ; rm -f log/mongrel.pid ; mongrel_rails start -e production -p 3000 -d
708
709
h2. Backup
710
711
1.Running backups is always a good idea. Redmine backups should include:
712
* data (stored in your redmine database)
713
/usr/bin/mysqldump -u -p | gzip > /path/to/redmine/backup/db/redmine_`date +%y_%m_%d`.gz
714
* attachments (stored in the files directory of your Redmine install)
715
rsync -a /path/to/redmine/files /path/to/redmine/backup/files
716
717
2.Or you can use the bash shell to automate this kind of operation, issue:
718
> sudo cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6
719
> sudo mkdir backup
720
> sudo mkdir backup/db
721
> sudo mkdir backup/files
722
> sudo gedit backup/runRedmineBackup.bash
723
724
And after open “runRedmineBackup.bash” with gedit, write all commands below:
725
<pre>
726
#!/bin/bash
727
data=`date -I`
728
mysqldump --user=root --password="redmine" --all-databases | gzip > db/backup-$data.sql.gz
729
cd db
730
ftp -i -n << EOF
731
open ftpserver.example.net
732
user username password
733
bin
734
mput backup-$data.sql.gz
735
bye
736
EOF
737
</pre>
738
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:
739
740
> export EDITOR=gedit
741
> crontab -e
742
Add 0 0 * * 0 cd /opt/redmine/redmine-0.8.6/backup ; sh runRedmineBackup.bash commands to crontab to backup database weekly.
743
744
For this to work without any permission problems you have to change the permissions of the files to maximum, issue:
745
746
> sudo chmod -R 777 backup
747
> sudo chown -R redmine:redmine backup
748
749
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..!
