Tutorial for installing Redmine on Centos 5.7 with Kloxo Panel

Here is a list of sites that I gathered information from.

http://www.how2centos.com/installing-redmine-subversion-on-centos-5-5/

http://www.how-to-linux.com/centos-52/how-to-install-redmine-on-centos-52-update/

http://blog.b2netsolutions.com/server-administration-guides/installing-redmine-on-centos-5/

 

Here’s the file combination that worked for me….

Use the following for Ruby, Rails, and Gems….

Ruby 1.8.7

Rails 2.3.14

Gems 1.3.7

 

So lets begin……

yum install yum-priorities

rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/i386/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm

rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm

yum update

yum install mysql mysql-server gcc-c++ mysql-devel openssl openssl-devel zlib zlib-devel subversion

yum install ImageMagick ImageMagick-devel

yum install subversion mod_dav_svn

yum install perl-HTML-Parser perl-SVN-Notify

yum install ruby rubygems rubygem-rails rubygem-sqlite3-ruby ruby-devel ruby-mysql

 

Let’s get and install Ruby…

wget http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.8/ruby-1.8.7.tar.gz

tar -zxvf ruby-1.8.7.tar.gz

cd ruby-1.8.7

install ruby

./configure

make && make install

 

Let’s get and install the Rubygems….

Install rubygems

wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/70696/rubygems-1.3.7.tgz

tar zxvf rubygems-1.3.7.tgz

cd rubygems-1.3.7

ruby setup.rb

 

Let’s get and install the Rails….

Install Rails

gem install rails -v=2.3.14

 

Let’s install Redmine….

Install redmine

put in your domains directory - Must be accessable from the net.

svn co http://redmine.rubyforge.org/svn/branches/1.3-stable redmine-1.3

create a database for redmine in kloxo (Make a note of your database info as you will need it later)

Configure the Redmine database connection settings

Copy config/database.yml.example to config/database.yml and edit this file in order to configure your database settings for “production” environment.

**Make sure you are in the domain directory and change to the correct redmine version

cp /home/dwmdev/dwmsoftware.com/redmine-1.3/config/database.yml.example /home/dwmdev/dwmsoftware.com/redmine-1.3/config/database.yml

Config the database config using nano

cd into the redmine/config dir

nano database.yml

Then match the following….

production:

adapter: mysql

database: redmine_*******

host: localhost

username: redmine_*******

password: yourdbpassword

socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock

Make sure you install rdoc and mysql gem….

gem install mysql

gem install rdoc

 

Generate a session store secret….

cd /opt/redmine

rake config/initializers/session_store.rb

 

Migrate database for redmine….

RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate

 

Insert default configuration data in database….

RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine:load_default_data

 

Test with WEBrick….

ruby script/server -e production

Goto http://***.***.***.***:3000/ to test...you should see the redmine page (I used the servers ip for this.)

 

You must install Rmagick as well for the nice Gant charts….

gem install rmagick -v 1.15.13 –no-rdoc –no-ri

 

Make an SVN folder in your domain dir….

Change the owner and group to root.apache

chown -R root.apache svn

Change the permissions…

chmod 0750 svn

 

Configure subversion to be browsed…. goto /etc/httpd/conf.d

cd /etc/httpd/conf.d

nano subversion.conf

 

Insert the following at the bottom

<Location /svn>

   DAV svn

   SVNParentPath /home/dwmdev/svn.dwmsoftware.com/svn

   SVNListParentPath on

</Location>

 

Goto svn.yoursitesdomain.com/svn to test

 

Install a Mongrel Front to Apache

Install Mongrel

gem install mongrel mongrel_cluster daemons

Configure the Mongrel Cluster for redmine.

cd /opt/redmine

mongrel_rails cluster::configure -e production -p 8000 -N 3 -c /home/dwmdev/dwmsoftware.com/redmine-1.3 --user apache --group apache

 

Start the Cluster….

The mongrel rails won’t start unless you "chmod 755 /tmp/pid" in the redmine directory

mongrel_rails cluster::start

You can also use the following commands…

mongrel_rails cluster::stop

mongrel_rails cluster::status

mongrel_rails cluster::restart

 

Configure apache as the load balancer….

 

Next you need to add the following vhost info to your dwmsoftware.com.conf //Some of these settings may already be in the file.

To do this in Kloxo goto you domain panel for your Redmine site.

  

 

In the “Extra” box at the bottom of the page in the Kloxo panel you will see an icon for tags. Click on this icon and add the information below, then save and restart apache. (Make sure this info isn’t already in your domains .conf file)

<VirtualHost *>

   ServerName your.domain.name

   DocumentRoot /opt/redmine-0.8.0_RC1

   <Directory “/opt/redmine-0.8.0_RC1/public”>

   Options FollowSymLinks

   AllowOverride None

   Order allow,deny

   Allow from all

   </Directory>

   <Proxy balancer://redmine_cluster>

   Order allow,deny

   Allow from all

   BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:8000

   BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:8001

   BalancerMember http://127.0.0.1:8002

   </Proxy>

 RewriteEngine On

   RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

   RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ balancer://redmine_cluster%{REQUEST_URI} [P,QSA,L]

</VirtualHost>

Restart Apache….

Under services in your panel restart the apache service.

Note… If you manually add this info to your .conf file make sure you use the chattr command…

chattr +i (add dir here)   ...This will lock the file so you can’t write to it.

chattr -i (add dir here)   ...This will unlock the file so you can write to it.
