h2. Redmine Version
65
66
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.

h3. Step 2 - Create an empty database and accompanying user
77 165 Etienne Massip
78 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
Redmine database user will be named @redmine@ hereafter but it can be changed to anything else.

h3. Step 3 - Database connection configuration
134 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
135 165 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.
136
137 209 Etienne Massip
Example for a MySQL database using ruby 1.8 or jruby:
138 88 Sean Farrell
139 209 Etienne Massip
<pre><code class="yml">
140 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
production:
141
  adapter: mysql
142
  database: redmine
143
  host: localhost
144
  username: redmine
145
  password: my_password
146 209 Etienne Massip
</code></pre>
147 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
148 209 Etienne Massip
Example for a MySQL database using ruby 1.9 (adapter must be set to @mysql2@):
149 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
150 209 Etienne Massip
<pre><code class="yml">
151 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
production:
152
  adapter: mysql2
153
  database: redmine
154
  host: localhost
155
  username: redmine
156
  password: my_password
157 209 Etienne Massip
</code></pre>
158 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
159
If your server is not running on the standard port (3306), use this configuration instead:
160
161 209 Etienne Massip
<pre><code class="yml">
162 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
production:
163
  adapter: mysql
164

167
  username: redmine
168
  password: my_password
169 209 Etienne Massip
</code></pre>
170 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
171
Example for a PostgreSQL database (default port):
172
173 209 Etienne Massip
<pre><code class="yml">
174 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
production:
175
  adapter: postgresql
176

191
</code></pre>

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

h2. Backups
402
403
Redmine backups should include:
404
* data (stored in your redmine database)
405
* attachments (stored in the @files@ directory of your Redmine install)
406
407
Here is a simple shell script that can be used for daily backups (assuming you're using a mysql database):
408
409
<pre>
410
# Database
411 55 Lukasz Slonina
/usr/bin/mysqldump -u <username> -p<password> <redmine_database> | gzip > /path/to/backup/db/redmine_`date +%y_%m_%d`.gz
412 11 Jean-Philippe Lang
413
# Attachments
414 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
rsync -a /path/to/redmine/files /path/to/backup/files

h2. Notes on Linux/Unix installation

419
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.

+Specifying the @RAILS_ENV@ environment variable:+
427 69 Giuliano Simoncelli
428 156 Etienne Massip
When running command as described in this guide, you have to set the @RAILS_ENV@ environment variable using a separate command.
429 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
430 156 Etienne Massip
I.e. commands with the following syntaxes:
431 69 Giuliano Simoncelli
432 156 Etienne Massip
<pre>RAILS_ENV=production <any commmand></pre>
433 69 Giuliano Simoncelli
434 156 Etienne Massip
<pre><any commmand> RAILS_ENV=production</pre>
435 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
436 156 Etienne Massip
have to be turned into 2 subsequent commands:
437 69 Giuliano Simoncelli
438 156 Etienne Massip
<pre>set RAILS_ENV=production

<pre>
446

And in some case it is required to copy the _libmysql.dll_ file in your ruby/bin directory.
450
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*
453
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)@".
454
You can confirm this by pinging @localhost@, if ping targets "::1:" IPV6 is being used.
455
456
+Workaround:+
457
Replace @localhost@ with @127.0.0.1@ in database.yml.
