h2. Assumptions
8
9
* Apache is up and running
10
* Apache has previously been used and works quite well 
11
* MySQL is up and running
12
* MySQL has previously been used and works quite well
13
* Your are logged as root
14
* The next steps are done successively without errors
15 25 Stephan Schuberth
* You can of course use vi/vim as your editor of choice instead of nano, if you know what you are doing. ;) 
16 1 Stephan Schuberth
17
h1. Install pre-dependencies
18
19
<pre>yum -y install zlib-devel curl-devel openssl-devel httpd-devel apr-devel apr-util-devel mysql-devel</pre>
20
21 50 Mr. DTTH
h2. Install Ruby (Option 1)
22 1 Stephan Schuberth
23
Things after *#* are comments, and it is no use to type this stuff in ;) 
24
<pre>cd ~/Downloads  # YOUR FOLDER OF CHOICE
25
ftp ftp.ruby-lang.org
26
</pre>
27
28
h3. FTP session
29
30
<pre>ftp> Anonymous  # USERLOGIN
31
ftp> 'none', just hit Enter  # NO PASSWORD
32
ftp> cd /pub/ruby
33
ftp> get ruby-1.8.7.pXXX.tar.gz  # XXX is currently 358, as of 03/2012
34
ftp> bye</pre>
35
36
h3. Untar
37
38
<pre>tar zxvf ruby-1.8.7.pXXX.tar.gz</pre>
39
40
h3. Install
41
42
<pre>cd ruby-1.8.7.pXXX
43
./configure
44
make
45
make install</pre>
46
47
h3. Check installation
48
49
If this does not work, it is probably because there is no ruby at /usr/bin to be found. 
50
<pre>ruby -v</pre>
51 22 Stephan Schuberth
If it works, skip directly to "RubyGems 1.4.2".
52
53 1 Stephan Schuberth
54 6 Stephan Schuberth
h3. Fix dependencies
55 1 Stephan Schuberth
56
(Only in case _ruby -v_ is *NOT* working)
57
<pre>which ruby  # TO CHECK WHERE IT SHOULD BE
58
whereis ruby  # TO CHECK WHERE IT IS INSTALLED</pre>
59
_which_ returns like /usr/bin/ along with other directories (where ruby is expected to be), and _whereis_ returns like /usr/local/bin/ruby (thats where ruby actually lies).
60
61 6 Stephan Schuberth
h4. Fix via adding /usr/local/bin to $PATH
62
63 9 Stephan Schuberth
(Do this with your editor of choice, if you do not like nano.)
64 6 Stephan Schuberth
<pre>nano /etc/profile</pre>
65
66
Make the section with _pathmunge_ look alike like this:
67
<pre>#Path manupulation
68
if [ "$EUID" = "0" ]; then
69
    pathmunge /sbin
70
    pathmunge /usr/sbin
71
    pathmunge /usr/local/sbin
72
    pathmunge /usr/local/bin  # ADDED THIS
73
else
74
    pathmunge /usr/local/bin after  # ADDED THIS
75
    pathmunge /usr/local/sbin after
76
    pathmunge /usr/sbin after
77
    pathmunge /sbin
78
fi</pre>
79
80
OR ADD THIS AT THE END OF THE FILE:
81
82
<pre>nano /etc/profile
83
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin"</pre>
84
85 15 Stephan Schuberth
This sets the PATH for all Users beside root. For this setup you want to change the PATH for root, too:
86 6 Stephan Schuberth
87
<pre>nano ~/.bashrc
88 1 Stephan Schuberth
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/bin"</pre>
89 15 Stephan Schuberth
90
Logout your user and login again, to make the changes work.
91 6 Stephan Schuberth
92
h4. Fix via Symlink Creation 
93
94 42 Stephan Schuberth
This is not recommended, since if the ruby dependency is broken, others will likely be later on, too. Repair this by adding the folder to the $PATH variable like described before, else _gem_, _rake_, _bundle_, _passenger-install-apache2-module_ will not work either... you would have to create symlinks for them later on, too.
95 6 Stephan Schuberth
Symlinks are created like this
96
97 1 Stephan Schuberth
<pre>ln -s /usr/local/bin/ruby /usr/bin/ruby</pre>
98 6 Stephan Schuberth
99 8 Stephan Schuberth
h4. Verify ruby to be working
100 6 Stephan Schuberth
101 16 Stephan Schuberth
<pre>which ruby  # MUST RETURN PATH TO RUBY
102
ruby -v  # MUST RETURN RUBY VERSION
103 1 Stephan Schuberth
cd ..</pre>
104 16 Stephan Schuberth
105 19 Stephan Schuberth
Now it has to work. When changing $PATH variable, did you log out and log on again with your current user?
106 1 Stephan Schuberth
If this does not function properly, other things later on will also not work.
107 50 Mr. DTTH
108
h2. Install Ruby (Option 2)
109
110
Install Ruby use "RMV":https://rvm.io/rvm/install/ for lastest version ruby
111
112
<pre.$ \curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby</pre>
113
114
Or, if you need older-version,Install a version of Ruby (eg 1.9.2):
115
116
<pre>
117
rvm install 1.9.2
118
Installing Ruby from source to: /Users/user/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180, this may take a while depending on your cpu(s)...
119
120
ruby-1.9.2-p180 - #fetching
121
ruby-1.9.2-p180 - #downloading ruby-1.9.2-p180, this may take a while depending on your connection...
122
...
123
ruby-1.9.2-p180 - #extracting ruby-1.9.2-p180 to /Users/user/.rvm/src/ruby-1.9.2-p180
124
ruby-1.9.2-p180 - #extracted to /Users/user/.rvm/src/ruby-1.9.2-p180
125
ruby-1.9.2-p180 - #configuring
126
ruby-1.9.2-p180 - #compiling
127
ruby-1.9.2-p180 - #installing
128
</pre>
129
130
Use the newly installed Ruby:
131
132
<pre>
133
$ rvm use 1.9.2
134
Using /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180
135
</pre>
136
137
Check this worked correctly:
138
139
<pre>
140
user$ ruby -v
141
ruby 1.9.2p180 (2011-02-18 revision 30909) [i386-darwin9.8.0]
142
143
user$ which ruby
144
Using /Users/user/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p180/bin/ruby
145
</pre>

... else the cause is the same as with the ruby problem before...
171 1 Stephan Schuberth
172
h2. Passenger
173
174
h3. Regular install method
175
176 44 Alex Tremblay
Requires C++ compiler to complete. 
177
Note: in some CentOS-like linux distros (RHEL, Amazon Linux) the C++ compiler does not come as part of the GCC compiler package. If that's the case, it can be installed with the following command:
178
<pre>yum install gcc-c++</pre>
179 1 Stephan Schuberth
180
<pre>gem install passenger
181
passenger-install-apache2-module</pre>
182
183 14 Stephan Schuberth
The install process is interactive and you wil be told what to do. How to install missing dependencies is described exactly. JUST READ!
184 1 Stephan Schuberth
185
h3. Alternative install method 
186
187
Install mod_passenger RPM for Apache from the following location:
188
189
> http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/
190
191
_RHEL/CentOS 5_
192
<pre>rpm -Uvh http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/rhel/5/passenger-release.noarch.rpm
193
yum install mod_passenger</pre>
194
195
_RHEL/CentOS 6_
196
<pre>rpm --import http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/RPM-GPG-KEY-stealthymonkeys.asc
197
yum install http://passenger.stealthymonkeys.com/rhel/6/passenger-release.noarch.rpm
198
yum install mod_passenger</pre>
199
200
h2. Restart Apache
201
202
<pre>service httpd restart</pre>
203
204
h1. Install Redmine
205
206
h3. Download
207
208
Download page: 
209
> http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=1850
210
211
<pre>wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/75910/redmine-1.3.2.tar.gz # GET LATEST VERSION ON RUBYFORGE</pre>
212
213
h3. Untar
214
215
<pre>tar zxvf redmine-1.3.2.tar.gz</pre>
216
217
h3. Copy the folder to its HTTP document root folder
218
219
<pre>mkdir /var/www/redmine
220
cp -av redmine-1.3.2/* /var/www/redmine</pre>
221
222 13 Stephan Schuberth
h1. Link Redmine to the Database
223
224
h2. Install MySQL DB Server
225
226
<pre>yum install mysql-server
227
chkconfig mysqld on
228
service mysqld start
229
/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation</pre>
230
231
h2. Create a MySQL database to use with Redmine
232
233 41 Stephan Schuberth
Start the mysql client:
234
<pre>mysql -u root -p</pre>
235
The version you have is shown in the welcome message.
236
Enter the following commands in the mysql console: (without repeating the prompt ;) )
237
<pre>mysql> create database redmine character set utf8;</pre>
238 25 Stephan Schuberth
239 13 Stephan Schuberth
h3. Latest MySQL Version
240 1 Stephan Schuberth
241 41 Stephan Schuberth
<pre>mysql> create user 'redmine'@'localhost' identified by 'my_password';
242
mysql> grant all privileges on redmine.* to 'redmine'@'localhost';
243
mysql> \q</pre>
244 1 Stephan Schuberth
245
h3. For versions of MySQL prior to 5.0.2
246
247 25 Stephan Schuberth
Skip the 'create user' step and do instead:
248 41 Stephan Schuberth
<pre>mysql> grant all privileges on redmine.* to 'redmine'@'localhost' identified by 'my_password';
249
mysql> \q</pre>
250 13 Stephan Schuberth
251 25 Stephan Schuberth
Now the database and a user to be used with it is created. Also the user has the rights to work on the database that was created.
252 13 Stephan Schuberth
253 25 Stephan Schuberth
h2. Configure database.yml 
254 13 Stephan Schuberth
255 29 Stephan Schuberth
There you have to enter the user:password combination (redmine:my_password) in the config file, so Redmine can actually talk to the database (redmine).
256 25 Stephan Schuberth
257 27 Stephan Schuberth
<pre>cd /var/www/redmine/config
258 28 Stephan Schuberth
cp database.yml.example database.yml
259
nano database.yml</pre>
260 1 Stephan Schuberth
261 27 Stephan Schuberth
Change it to look like:
262
<pre>production:
263
    adapter: mysql
264
    database: redmine
265
    host: localhost
266
    username: redmine
267
    password: my_password
268
    encoding: utf8</pre>
269
270 31 Stephan Schuberth
The other entries are not important, since we will use only the production environment. But if you would need the development or test environment, don't forget the create additional databases. *Don't* use the same database for production and testing or development environment!

315
h2. Set environment to "production" 
316
317
Rails has the concept of environments to represent the stages of an application’s lifecycle: test, development, and production by default. 
318
Specify your choice with the RAILS_ENV environment variable. 
319
Production has less verbose logging and is a bit faster, testing and development environment are not needed anyway for your Redmine.
320
321 32 Stephan Schuberth
<pre>nano /var/www/redmine/config/environment.rb</pre>
