h2. Redmine Version
61
62
It is recommended that the majority of users install the proper point releases of redmine. Redmine currently releases a new version every 6 months, and these releases are considered very usable and stable. It is *not* recommended to install redmine from trunk, unless you are deeply familiar with Ruby on Rails and keep up with the changes - Trunk _does_ break from time-to-time.

83 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
84 88 Sean Farrell
For versions of MySQL prior to 5.0.2 - skip the 'create user' step and instead:

h3. Step 3 - Database connection configuration
130 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
131 165 Etienne Massip
Copy @config/database.yml.example@ to @config/database.yml@ and edit this file in order to configure your database settings for "production" environment.
132
133 209 Etienne Massip
Example for a MySQL database using ruby 1.8 or jruby:
134 88 Sean Farrell
135 209 Etienne Massip
<pre><code class="yml">
136 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
production:
137
  adapter: mysql
138
  database: redmine
139
  host: localhost
140
  username: redmine
141
  password: my_password
142 209 Etienne Massip
</code></pre>
143 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
144 209 Etienne Massip
Example for a MySQL database using ruby 1.9 (adapter must be set to @mysql2@):
145 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
146 209 Etienne Massip
<pre><code class="yml">
147 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
production:
148
  adapter: mysql2
149
  database: redmine
150
  host: localhost
151
  username: redmine
152
  password: my_password
153 209 Etienne Massip
</code></pre>
154 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
155
If your server is not running on the standard port (3306), use this configuration instead:
156
157 209 Etienne Massip
<pre><code class="yml">
158 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
production:
159
  adapter: mysql
160
  database: redmine
161

168
169 209 Etienne Massip
<pre><code class="yml">
170 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
production:
171
  adapter: postgresql
172

187
</code></pre>
188 202 Jean-Philippe Lang
189
h3. Step 4 - Dependencies installation
190
191
Redmine uses "Bundler":http://gembundler.com/ to manage gems dependencies.
192
193
You need to install Bundler first:
194
195
  gem install bundler
196
197
Then you can install all the gems required by Redmine using the following command:
198
199
  bundle install --without development test
200
201
h4. Optional dependencies
202
203
h5. RMagick (allows the use of ImageMagick to manipulate images for PDF and PNG export)
204
205
If ImageMagick is not installed on your system, you should skip the installation of the rmagick gem using:
206
207
 @bundle install --without development test rmagick@
208
209
210
If you have trouble installing @rmagick@ on Windows, refer to [[HowTo_install_rmagick_gem_on_Windows|this HowTo]].
211
212
h5. Database adapters
213
214 214 Etienne Massip
Redmine automatically installs the adapter gems required by your database configuration by reading it from the @config/database.yml@ file (eg. if you configured only a connection using the @mysql2@ adapter, then only the @mysql2@ gem will be installed).
215
216
Don't forget to re-run @bundle install --without development test ...@ after adding or removing adapters in the @config/database.yml@ file!
217 202 Jean-Philippe Lang
218
h4. Additional dependencies (@Gemfile.local@)
219
220
If you need to load gems that are not required by Redmine core (eg. Puma, fcgi), create a file named @Gemfile.local@ at the root of your redmine directory. It will be loaded automatically when running @bundle install@.
221
222
Example:
223
<pre>
224
# Gemfile.local
225
gem 'puma'
226 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
</pre>
227
228 165 Etienne Massip
h3. Step 5 - Session store secret generation
229 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
230 165 Etienne Massip
This step generates a random key used by Rails to encode cookies storing session data thus preventing their tampering.
231
Generating a new secret token invalidates all existing sessions after restart.
232
233 151 Jean-Philippe Lang
* with Redmine 1.4.x:
234
235
<pre>
236 234 Go MAEDA
bundle exec rake generate_session_store
237 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
</pre>
238 151 Jean-Philippe Lang
239 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
* with Redmine 2.x:
240
241 151 Jean-Philippe Lang
<pre>
242 234 Go MAEDA
bundle exec rake generate_secret_token
243 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
</pre>
244 90 Jiongliang Zhang
245 243 Toshi MARUYAMA
Alternatively, you can store this secret in config/secrets.yml:
246
http://guides.rubyonrails.org/upgrading_ruby_on_rails.html#config-secrets-yml
247
248 165 Etienne Massip
h3. Step 6 - Database schema objects creation
249 90 Jiongliang Zhang
250 165 Etienne Massip
Create the database structure, by running the following command under the application root directory:
251
252 234 Go MAEDA
  RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake db:migrate
253 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
254 184 Etienne Massip
Windows syntax:
255 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
256 184 Etienne Massip
 set RAILS_ENV=production
257 234 Go MAEDA
bundle exec rake db:migrate
258 184 Etienne Massip
259
It will create tables by running all migrations one by one then create the set of the permissions and the application administrator account, named @admin@.
260
261
+Ubuntu troubleshooting:+
262 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
263 165 Etienne Massip
If you get this error with Ubuntu:
264 90 Jiongliang Zhang
<pre>
265 114 Etienne Massip
Rake aborted!
266 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
no such file to load -- net/https
267
</pre>
268
269 165 Etienne Massip
Then you need to install @libopenssl-ruby1.8@ just like this: @apt-get install libopenssl-ruby1.8@.
270 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
271 165 Etienne Massip
h3. Step 7 - Database default data set
272 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
273 165 Etienne Massip
Insert default configuration data in database, by running the following command:
274
275 234 Go MAEDA
  RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake redmine:load_default_data
276 62 Vladimir L
277 171 Etienne Massip
Redmine will prompt you for the data set language that should be loaded; you can also define the @REDMINE_LANG@ environment variable before running the command to a value which will be automatically and silently picked up by the task.
278
279
E.g.:
280
281
Unices:
282
283 234 Go MAEDA
  RAILS_ENV=production REDMINE_LANG=fr bundle exec rake redmine:load_default_data
284 171 Etienne Massip
285
Windows:
286
<pre>
287
set RAILS_ENV=production
288
set REDMINE_LANG=fr
289 234 Go MAEDA
bundle exec rake redmine:load_default_data
290 171 Etienne Massip
</pre>
291 32 Jean-Philippe Lang
292 167 Etienne Massip
h3. Step 8 - File system permissions
293 32 Jean-Philippe Lang
294 165 Etienne Massip
NB: _Windows users can skip this section._
295 14 Jean-Philippe Lang
296 165 Etienne Massip
The user account running the application must have write permission on the following subdirectories:
297 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
298 165 Etienne Massip
# @files@ (storage of attachments)
299
# @log@ (application log file @production.log@)
300 167 Etienne Massip
# @tmp@ and @tmp/pdf@ (create these ones if not present, used to generate PDF documents among other things)
301 220 Jean-Baptiste Barth
# @public/plugin_assets@ (assets of plugins)
302 221 Jean-Baptiste Barth
303 167 Etienne Massip
E.g., assuming you run the application with a redmine user account:
304 165 Etienne Massip
305 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
<pre>
306 219 Jean-Baptiste Barth
mkdir -p tmp tmp/pdf public/plugin_assets
307 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
sudo chown -R redmine:redmine files log tmp public/plugin_assets
308
sudo chmod -R 755 files log tmp public/plugin_assets
309
</pre>
310
311 165 Etienne Massip
h3. Step 9 - Test the installation
312 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
313 165 Etienne Massip
Test the installation by running WEBrick web server:
314
315 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
* with Redmine 1.4.x:
316
317 151 Jean-Philippe Lang
<pre>
318 234 Go MAEDA
bundle exec ruby script/server webrick -e production
319 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
</pre>
320
321 151 Jean-Philippe Lang
* with Redmine 2.x:
322
323
<pre>
324 234 Go MAEDA
bundle exec ruby script/rails server webrick -e production
325 151 Jean-Philippe Lang
</pre>
326
327 244 Jan Niggemann (redmine.org team member)
* with Redmine 3.x:
328
329
<pre>
330
bundle exec rails server webrick -e production
331
</pre>
332
333 151 Jean-Philippe Lang
Once WEBrick has started, point your browser to http://localhost:3000/. You should now see the application welcome page.
334
335 165 Etienne Massip
> Note: Webrick is *not* suitable for production use, please only use webrick for testing that the installation up to this point is functional. Use one of the many other guides in this wiki to setup redmine to use either Passenger (aka @mod_rails@), FCGI or a Rack server (Unicorn, Thin, Puma, hellip;) to serve up your redmine.
336 14 Jean-Philippe Lang
337 165 Etienne Massip
h3. Step 10 - Logging into the application
338 158 Etienne Massip
339 165 Etienne Massip
Use default administrator account to log in:
340
341 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
    * login: admin
342
    * password: admin
343 14 Jean-Philippe Lang
344 165 Etienne Massip
You can go to ??Administration?? menu and choose ??Settings?? to modify most of the application settings.
345
346 130 Etienne Massip
h2. Configuration
347 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
348 185 Etienne Massip
Redmine settings are defined in a file named @config/configuration.yml@.
349 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
350 185 Etienne Massip
If you need to override default application settings, simply copy @config/configuration.yml.example@ to @config/configuration.yml@ and edit the new file; the file is well commented by itself, so you should have a look at it.
351 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
352 185 Etienne Massip
These settings may be defined per Rails environment (@production@/@development@/@test@).
353 131 Etienne Massip
354
+Important+ : don't forget to restart the application after any change.
355
356 130 Etienne Massip
h3. Email / SMTP server settings
357
358 132 Etienne Massip
Email configuration is described in a [[EmailConfiguration|dedicated page]].
359 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
360
h3. SCM settings
361
362 133 Etienne Massip
This configuration section allows you to:
363 131 Etienne Massip
* override default commands names if the SCM binaries present in the @PATH@ variable doesn't use the standard name (Windows .bat/.cmd names won't work)
364
* specify the full path to the binary
365
366 133 Etienne Massip
Examples (with Subversion):
367 131 Etienne Massip
368 133 Etienne Massip
Command name override:
369 131 Etienne Massip
370
 scm_subversion_command: "svn_replacement.exe"
371
372 133 Etienne Massip
Absolute path:
373 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
374
 scm_subversion_command: "C:\Program Files\Subversion\bin\svn.exe"
375
376
h3. Attachment storage settings
377
378 133 Etienne Massip
You can set a path where Redmine attachments will be stored which is different from the default 'files' directory of your Redmine instance using the @attachments_storage_path@ setting.
379
380
Examples:
381
382
 attachments_storage_path: /var/redmine/files
383
384
 attachments_storage_path: D:/redmine/files
385 130 Etienne Massip
386
h2. Logging configuration
387
388 101 T. Hauptman
Redmine defaults to a log level of :info, writing to the @log@ subdirectory. Depending on site usage, this can be a lot of data so to avoid the contents of the logfile growing without bound, consider rotating them, either through a system utility like @logrotate@ or via the @config/additional_environment.rb@ file.
389 21 Jean-Philippe Lang
390
To use the latter, copy @config/additional_environment.rb.example@ to @config/additional_environment.rb@ and add the following lines. Note that the new logger defaults to a high log level and hence has to be explicitly set to @info@.
391 123 Jean-Philippe Lang
<pre><code class="ruby">
392 21 Jean-Philippe Lang
#Logger.new(PATH,NUM_FILES_TO_ROTATE,FILE_SIZE)
393 162 Jean-Philippe Lang
config.logger = Logger.new('/path/to/logfile.log', 2, 1000000)
394 11 Jean-Philippe Lang
config.logger.level = Logger::INFO
395
</code></pre>
396
397
h2. Backups
398
399
Redmine backups should include:
400

Be sure to disable security hardenning tools during the installation process if you run into bizarre permission problems. These problems are mostly silent and can be caused by tools like extended ACLs, SELinux, or AppArmor. There tools are mostly used in big companies with a strict security policy, default Linux/Unix distributions settings shouldn't be a problem.

I.e. commands with the following syntaxes:
427 69 Giuliano Simoncelli

And in some case it is required to copy the _libmysql.dll_ file in your ruby/bin directory.
446
Not all libmysql.dll are ok this seem to works http://instantrails.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/InstantRails-win/InstantRails/mysql/bin/libmySQL.dll.

*Important note for Win7 and later*
449
On Win7 and later, @localhost@ is commented out in the hosts file[1] and IPV6 is the default[2]. As the mysql2 gem does no support IPV6 addresses[3], a connection can't be established and you get the error "@Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost' (10061)@".
450
You can confirm this by pinging @localhost@, if ping targets "::1:" IPV6 is being used.
451
452
+Workaround:+
453
Replace @localhost@ with @127.0.0.1@ in database.yml.
