install all required packages for redmine
server ~ $ emerge dev-ruby/rubygems |
install ruby on rails version required by redmine
H
Install the preferred database server/client MySQL/postgresql
server ~ $ emerge postgresql |
Configure and create the database for redmine
CREATE ROLE redmine LOGIN ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'my_password' NOINHERIT VALID UNTIL 'infinity'; CREATE DATABASE redmine WITH ENCODING='UTF8' OWNER=redmine; |
download and extract redmine
server ~ $ wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/67144/redmine-0.8.7.tar.gz server ~ $ tar xvf redmine-0.8.7.tar.gz |
Copy config/database.yml.example to config/database.yml
server ~ $ cp redmine-0.8.7/config/database.yml.example redmine-0.8.7/config/database.yml server ~ $ nano redmine-0.8.7/config/database.yml |
and edit this file in order to configure your database settings for your “production” environment
production: adapter: postgresql database: redmine host: localhost username: redmine password: my_password encoding: utf8 |
make sure to install PosgreSQL adapter for Ruby
server ~ $ gem install postgres-pr |
make sure to install rmagick if you wish to export Gantt to png
server ~ $ emerge dev-ruby/rmagick |
Generate a session store secret. This is required on the trunk version of Redmine at r2493 or above and the released 0.8.7 version or above.
Redmine stores session data in cookies by default, which requires a secret to be generated. This can be done by running:
server ~ $ cd redmine-0.8.7 server redmine-0.8.7 $ rake config/initializers/session_store.rb |
Now we have to populate the database by running the following command
server redmine-0.8.7 $ rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV="production" |
now you can load the default configuration data into the database
server redmine-0.8.7 $ rake redmine:load_default_data RAILS_ENV="production" |
The user and the group who runs Redmine must have write permission on the following subdirectories: files, log, tmp (create the last one if not present).
server redmine-0.8.7 $ mkdir tmp public/plugin_assets server redmine-0.8.7 $ chown -R user:group files log tmp public/plugin_assets server redmine-0.8.7 $ chmod -R 775 files log tmp public/plugin_assets |
