• This guide is supposed to make Redmine installation easier
• No garbage, no harm for the system!
  • RAILS stuff is installed to /home/redmine/.rvm
  • Redmine is installed to /opt/redmine-N.N, where N.N is version of Redmine

RUBY_VERSION=1.9.3
GEM_VERSION=1.8.25
## Checkout Redmine
sudo svn co http://svn.redmine.org/redmine/branches/${REDMINE_VERSION}-stable $REDMINE_DIR
## Prepare directory and permissions for the bundler
sudo mkdir -p $REDMINE_DIR/.bundle
sudo chown $USERNAME:$USERNAME $REDMINE_DIR/.bundle
sudo chown $USERNAME:$USERNAME $REDMINE_DIR     # necessary to be able to create Gemfile.lock during installation
## Install packages necessary to build passenger for apache2
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev apache2-prefork-dev libapr1-dev libaprutil1-dev
## Install packages necessary to build rmagic
sudo apt-get install libmagick++-dev
## Prepare

    ## Install necessary gems using bundler

# Install Redmine
## Fix some permissions
sudo chown root:root $REDMINE_DIR
cd $REDMINE_DIR
sudo mkdir -p tmp public/plugin_assets
sudo chown -R $WWW_USERNAME files log tmp public/plugin_assets db
sudo chmod -R 755 files log tmp public/plugin_assets
sudo chmod 700 db
sudo chmod 600 db/*.sqlite3

• Use redmine-shell.sh to prepare for the first start or to upgrade Redmine.
• Usage:

  redmine-shell.sh ["command"]

• Examples:

  redmine-shell.sh

  redmine-shell.sh "rake generate_secret_token"

  redmine-shell.sh "rake db:migrate"

  redmine-shell.sh "gem list"

  redmine-shell.sh "bundle install"

redmine-shell.sh

#!/bin/bash -e
 
# Define common variables
USERNAME=redmine
 
# Define core variables
BASHRC=$(dirname $(readlink -f $0))/redmine-shell.bashrc
RUN_WITH_USERNAME="sudo -iu $USERNAME http_proxy=$http_proxy https_proxy=$https_proxy"
 
# Launch shell
if [[ -z "$@" ]]; then
        $RUN_WITH_USERNAME bash --rcfile $BASHRC
else
        $RUN_WITH_USERNAME bash -c "source $BASHRC; $@"
fi

redmine-shell.bashrc

# Common variables
REDMINE_VERSION=2.2
GEMSET=ruby-1.9.3-gems1824@redmine2.2
export RAILS_ENV=production
 
# Define core variables
REDMINE_DIR=/opt/redmine-${REDMINE_VERSION}
 
# Prepare RVM environment
[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && source "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" # Load RVM into a shell session *as a function*
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.rvm/bin # Add RVM to PATH for scripting
 
# Select Redmine gemset
rvm $GEMSET
 
# Go to Redmine directory
cd $REDMINE_DIR

• Place this file to /etc/apache2/sites-available/ (this is just an example generated by 'passenger-install-apache2-module -a', you have to adjust paths for your installation)

/etc/apache2/sites-available/redmine

<VirtualHost *:80>
 
        ServerName redmine.company.lan
 
        # Passenger
        PassengerUser redmine

                #AllowOverride all
                AllowOverride none
                # MultiViews must be turned off.
                Options -MultiViews
        </Directory>
 
</VirtualHost>

# Apache for redmine
sudo a2dissite default
sudo a2ensite redmine
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
