Install Redmine on Ubuntu and Debian

A series of things to do to install redmine on Debian

ruperto

• apt-get update
• apt-get install ruby ruby-dev rdoc php5-imagick libmagick9-dev libopenssl-ruby apache2-prefork-dev libapr1-dev libaprutil1-dev libapache2-svn libapache-dbi-perl libapache2-mod-perl2 libdbd-mysql-perl libdigest-sha1-perl
  Explanation:
  ruby and ruby-dev are base
  rdoc seems to be some kind of documentation thingy for ruby
  php5-imagick installs image magick. You need it in your php anyway. Image magick is required for installing rmagick, later.
  libmagick9-dev is also required to compile rmagick, later
  libopenssl-ruby apache2-prefork-dev libapr1-dev libaprutil1-dev is required to run passenger (mod_rails)
  libapache2-svn libapache-dbi-perl libapache2-mod-perl2 libdbd-mysql-perl libdigest-sha1-perl is required for serving svn repositories through redmine's perl module authentication module
  
• Choose / make a source directory, cd to it
• Get rubygems source from http://rubyforge.org/projects/rubyges/ Current download is here
• Extract with tar -zxf and cd into the extracted folder
• sudo ruby setup.rb -V
  
• gem install rails -v=2.2.2 -V
  OR
  gem1.8 install rails -v=2.2.2 -V
  (Depending on which debian you install it on Etch or Lenny)
• gem1.8 install rmagick -V
  
• gem1.8 install passenger -V
  
• install mysql if not already there (apt-get install mysql-server)
• blank out the password if you set one (required for later perl mysql module, we'll set up one again, after installing that):
  login to mysql command line
  set password for 'root'@'localhost' = "";
  exit
• create database and user for redmine:
  login to mysql command line
  create database redmine;
  grant all privileges on redmine.* to 'redmineuser'@'localhost' identified by "NEWPASSWORD";
  exit
• passenger-install-apache2-module
• Configure and Load the passenger apache module:
  cd /etc/apache2/mods-available
  
  nano passenger.load --> put the next line into it:
  LoadModule passenger_module /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.4/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
  
  nano passenger.conf --> put the next two lines into it:
     PassengerRoot /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.4
     PassengerRuby /usr/bin/ruby1.8
  a2enmod passenger
  /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
  
• Get redmine from source:
  http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/Download
  OR
  http://github.com/edavis10/redmine/tree/master
  extract or git and cd into the new folder
• cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml
• Edit the database.yml to suit your database config
• cp config/email.yml.example config/email.yml
• Edit the email.yml file to suit your config. Typical setup :
  address: localhost
  port: 25
  domain: whatever.com
  authentication: none
• gem1.8 install mysql -V
  
• gem1.8 install -v=2.2.2 rails -V
  YES! You need to do that again! The passenger install fudges it up, somehow.
  
• rake config/initializers/session_store.rb
• rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV="production"
• rake redmine:load_default_data RAILS_ENV="production"
• cd ..
• chown -R www-data:www-data REDMINE_SOURCE_FOLDER
• chmod -R 755 files log tmp public/plugin_assets
• Create a new apache VirtualHost site at /etc/apache2/sites-available. Point the DocumentRoot to REDMINE_SOURCE_FOLDER/public
• Enable some more apache modules:
  a2enmod rewrite
  a2enmod dav
  a2enmod dav_svn
  a2enmod perl
  
• Restart apache with /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
• Create test database for DBD::mysql
  mysql -u root
  create database test;
  exit
  
• Install CPAN modules:
  cpan
  install Bundle::CPAN
  install DBI
  install DBD::mysql
• set password for 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD("PREVIOUS_PASSWORD_BACX_AGAIN");
