CentOS-6.4-redmine-2.3 installation(Step-by-step)

The version of the software we used.

• Redmine 2.3.0
• ruby 1.8.7
• gem 1.3.7
• Rails 3.2.13
• mysql 2.1.67

== Installation

Install gem and passenger dependencies

yum -y install curl-devel openssl-devel httpd-devel apr-devel apr-util-devel mysql-devel

Install Ruby

yum install -y ruby ruby-devel

Get Gems

yum install -y rubygems

Install MySQL DB Server

yum install -y mysql-server
chkconfig mysqld on
service mysqld start

Install Passenger (requires gcc)

gem install passenger
passenger-install-apache2-module

cd  /var/www/
yum install lrz*

tar zxvf redmine-2.3.0.tar.gz
mv redmine-2.3.0 /var/www/redmine

Install Imagemagic

yum install -y ImageMagick-devel

Install Bundler

gem install bundler
cd redmine 
yum install libxml2* 
yum install -y libxslt*
bundle install

Install Rdoc

gem install rdoc-data

Create a MySQL database to use with Redmine

mysql -u root –p
mysql> create database redmine character set utf8;
mysql> create user 'redmine'@'localhost' identified by 'my_password';
mysql> grant all privileges on redmine.* to 'redmine'@'localhost' identified by 'my_password';
mysql> quit

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.
 

Configure database.yml

cd /var/www/redmine/config
cp database.yml.example database.yml
vi database.yml

Change it to look like:

production:
    adapter: mysql
    database: redmine
    host: localhost
    username: redmine
    password: my_password
    encoding: utf8

If you're running Redmine with MySQL and ruby1.8, replace the adapter name
with `mysql`
 

Migrate and load default data

cd redmine
rake generate_secret_token
RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate
RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine:load_default_data

Fix rights for the apache user

cd /var/www
chmod -R 755 redmine

Test the installation by running the WEBrick web server

cd /var/www/redmine
ruby script/rails server -e production

Once WEBrick has started, point your browser to http://localhost:3000/ 
you should now see the application welcome page.

Use the default administrator account to log in:
Login:admin
Password:admin

Redmine is now installed and usable.

Enjoy!
Good Luck!

More information

Apache Settings

Configure Apache to host the documents
more information can be found here: HowTo configure Apache to run Redmine

Start mysql remote connection

 mysql -u root -p
 mysql>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO root@localhost IDENTIFIED BY "my_password" WITH GRANT OPTION;
 mysql>GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO root@"%" IDENTIFIED BY  "my_password" WITH GRANT OPTION;

The first command : Distribute authority for the user 'root' to access localhost. "my_password" is the password.
The second command : Distribute authority for the user 'root' to access from any where.
