Step 1: Install packages needed
su
yum install mysql-server ruby rubygems httpd ruby-devel mysql-devel gcc-c++ curl-devel httpd-devel apr-devel apr-util-devel
Step 2: Enable services at boot-time
apache server
chkconfig httpd on
mysql server
chkconfig mysqld on
Step 3: Open needed ports
open /etc/sysconfig/iptables in your config file and add these rules
-A INPUT -m state –state NEW -m tcp -p tcp –dport 80 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -m state –state NEW -m tcp -p tcp –dport 3000 -j ACCEPT
Step 4: Install ruby libs
gem install rails -v=2.3.5
gem install rack -v=1.0.1
gem install mysql
gem install -v=0.4.2 i18n
gem install passenger
Step 5: Download redmine
wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/74419/redmine-1.1.2.tar.gz
step 6: add redmine user
groupadd redmine
useradd -g redmine redmine
passwd redmine
step 7: decompress redmine
tar -xzvf redmine-1.1.2.tar.gz
step 8: move to destination dir
cd <dest_dir>
step 9: copy redmine
cp -R <redmine_uncompress_dir>/* ./
Step 10: create a new database and a new username in mysql
step 11: configure redmine
cd config/
mv database.yml.example database.yml
open database.yml #complete the data needed
cd ..
step 12: generate session store secret
rake generate_session_store
step 13: generate database structure
RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate
step 14: generate default configuration
RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine:load_default_data
step 15 Setting up permissions
mkdir tmp public/plugin_assets #in case of the dirs doesn’t exists
sudo chown -R redmine:redmine files log tmp public/plugin_assets # change redmine:redmine if you create a diferent user
sudo chmod -R 755 files log tmp public/plugin_assets
step 16 check redmine installation
ruby script/server webrick -e production
open in your browser :3000
login is admin pass is admin too
step 17 enable mod_cgi in apache
check in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf if exist the line
LoadModule cgi_module modules/mod_cgi.so
step 18 create public/dispatch.cgi file
mv public/dispatch.cgi.example public/dispatch.cgi
edit the first line
from
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
to
#!/usr/bin/ruby
step 19 grant execution rights
chmod 755 public/dispatch.cgi
step 20 grant apache permissions
chown -R apache:apache files log tmp vendor
step 21 set production state in file config/environment.rb
uncoment the line ENV[‘RAILS_ENV’] ||= ‘production’
step 22 configure passenger
passenger-install-apache2-module and follow instructions
if you get an error check this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5585583/problem-in-installing-passenger
In fact, just need to edit the ” /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-3.0.6/lib/phusion_passenger/platform_info/apache.rb” file, and replace “test_exe_outdir” with “tmpexedir”.
step 23 Enable cgi in SeLinux
setsebool -P httpd_enable_cgi 1
step 24 add virtual host in apache config file
ServerName redmine..com
ServerAdmin webmaster@.com
DocumentRoot /live/redmine/public/
ErrorLog logs/redmine_error_log
Options Indexes ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AllowOverride all
Step 25: close 3000 port editing /etc/sysconfig/iptables file
-A INPUT -m state –state NEW -m tcp -p tcp –dport 3000 -j ACCEPT
Step 26: reboot or restart services
Redmine Working
Thanks for your manual, all allwright but,
Step 24 is like this, no?
ServerName redmine.funetfi.si.uji.es
ServerAdmin webmaster@funetfi.si.uji.es
DocumentRoot /opt/redmine/public/
ErrorLog logs/redmine_error_log
Options Indexes ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AllowOverride all
What about https redirection between apache and redmine?
when I created this tutorial I was installing redmine as internal service in a SME, https not was in my priority list.
If I have some spare time I will add it.
Anyway if you configure https in your host feel free to collaborate.
And step 25: “”close 3000 port editing /etc/sysconfig/iptables file”:
-A INPUT -m state –state NEW -m tcp -p tcp –dport 3000 -j ACCEPT
iptables line accepts all to port 3000:
-A INPUT -m state –state NEW -m tcp -p tcp –dport 3000 -j DROP
The idea is delete the iptables line an restart iptables service
other headache is the rmagic 😉
I’m on it and will send the result.
yum search rmagic
i used a precompiled package
Ok for rmagic compiling last source package.
For https, I selected a redirection between apache https to redmine http in localhost using mod_rewrite to fore https conection.
Thanks
Excellent tutorial.
I had to change the ownership of the config/environment.rb to the “redmine” user at the end as passenger changes it. Otherwise you may get directory write permission errors.
I installed it on internal server where the redmine server will be accessed with IP address. added the virtual host like this:
ServerName myprojects
ServerAdmin admin@dieutek.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/project/public/
ErrorLog logs/redmine_error_log
Options Indexes ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AllowOverride all
but apache giving error:
service httpd restart
Stopping httpd: [ OK ]
Starting httpd: Warning: DocumentRoot [/var/www/project/public/] does not exist
[ OK ]
any idea. I did a search, but couldn’t find any solution.
By the way, your turorial is very helpful.. Thank you..
permissions problem, can apache user (can be www-data, nobody, www or other) access to /var/www/project/public/
I tried to install this on Centos 6.4 and get stuck at the rake generate_sessions_store
i get an error related to rake\rdoctask I found something that talks about changing rake\rdoctask to rdoc\task but that jsut caused new issues.. what would I do to get this to work? ever tried it on centos 6.4 .. I think some of hte packages have updated to the point that they no longer work with this tutorial. maybe?
Should be possible If I found a old install I will put the exact version of each library.
