Update and install your bundle

Then update and install your libs necessary to run redmine - this will update and install all neccesary dependencies: 

sudo cd /usr/share/redmine
sudo gem install bundler
sudo bundle install

This might give you some faults, you have to resolve and google for!

e.g. an error for the rmagick gem, after googling I resolved that with: 

apt-get install libmagickwand-dev

Then again to check, if everything is in place: 

sudo bundle install

Probably you need to manually create a local Gemfile (see next section about Postgresql).

Postgres

If you are using postgresql for database server:

Install the Postgres PPA: 

http://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/ubuntu/

And the development files: 

apt-get install postgresql-server-dev-PG_VERSION
apt-get install libdbd-pg-ruby

Create a local Gemfile: 

cd /usr/share/redmine
vim Gemfile.local

# Gemfile.local
gem 'activerecord-postgresql-adapter'
gem 'pg'

Then the add the following gems 

cd /usr/share/redmine
gem install pg
gem install activerecord-postgresql-adapter
bundle install

Apache 2.4

In your virtual hosts section include this: 


[...] 

ServerAlias projects.yourserver.com

#  If you updated to ruby 2.1.0 - also for others!
SetEnv GEM_HOME /usr/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0

DocumentRoot /usr/share/redmine/public
 <Directory /usr/share/redmine/public>
   Options -MultiViews
   AllowOverride All
   Require all granted
</Directory>

 # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
 # alert, emerg.
 LogLevel warn

 CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
 ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

 ServerSignature Off

 [...]

Redmine 2.x and Ubuntu 12.04

Man problems mentioned are solved using a recent version of redmine.

Together with [Zentyal] you can use [LDAP] to authenticate users of a Samba4 domain.

Use the ppa for redmine on ubuntu 12.04 LTS and above.

Then use this guide:

Plugins

  1. Create the directory /usr/share/redmine/plugins
  2. Put plugins into this directory
  3. run the as explaned in http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/Plugins
rake redmine:plugins:migrate RAILS_ENV=production

LDAP with Zentyal

--Apos (talk) 10:27, 2 November 2013 (CET)

>>> See LDAP with Zentyal 3.2.

  • Redmine LDAP settings

Redmine 1.x on Debian Squeeze (6.x)

Redmine Bugs

width of attached images

vim ./public/stylesheets/application.css +740
#content .wiki img {
           max-width: 98%;
}

Possible other solutions:

Fixing a bug using svn

vim /usr/share/redmine/lib/redmine/scm/adapters/subversion_adapter.rb
# SVN executable name
-        SVN_BIN = "svn"
+        SVN_BIN = "/usr/bin/svn"

Installation mit Postgresql und Apache2 mod_passenger

Prerequisites:

  • postgresql server (8.4) installation
  • apache2 with virtual hosts

Debian will configure database and permissions automatically! Be prepared to have an database password for postgres handy.

Redmine 1.1.x

apt-get install redmine redmine-pgsql ruby-git libapache2-mod-passenger librmagick-ruby

Update to the most recent version 

aptitude -t squeeze-backports install redmine

Redmine 1.3.x

Or via testing: 

root@server:~#  vim /etc/apt/sources.list.d/testing.list

deb http://yourmirror/debian/mirror/ testing main non-free contrib
deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free

and 

root@server:~# vim /etc/apt/preferences.d/pinning 

Package: *
Pin: release n=squeeze
Pin-Priority: 900

Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 80

then 

root@server:~# apt-get update &&  aptitude -t testing install redmine redmine-pgsql ruby-git libapache2-mod-passenger librmagick-ruby


Trouble after install

Error with bundler

cd /usr/share/redmine
gem install bundler

Error with Gemfile.lock

Create the file: 

cd /usr/share/redmine
touch Gemfile.lock
chmod 664 Gemfile.lock

And fill it with: 

GEM
 remote: https://rubygems.org/
 specs:

PLATFORMS
 ruby

DEPENDENCIES

Anyway

Alter permissions.

This is NOT necessary in ubuntu 12.04 and redmine 2.x. 

cd /usr/share/redmine/
mkdir files
chown -R www-data:www-data public
chown -R www-data:www-data files
chmod 777 files

Apache virtual host

SERVERIP="1.2.3.4"

Dealing with Plugins

Mylyn Connector for Eclipse and Redmine Plugin

1. Install the Redmine Mylin Connector using the update site: 

http://redmin-mylyncon.sourceforge.net/update-site/N/

2. Install the Redmine Plugin 

cd /usr/share/redmine
ruby script/plugin install git://redmin-mylyncon.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/redmin-mylyncon/redmine-mylyn-connector
# Update
# ruby script/plugin install --force git://redmin-mylyncon.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/redmin-mylyncon/redmine-mylyn-connector

Timesheet Extension

Download the files (searching the „Downloads“ link) onto the server with 

links2 https://github.com/nicStuff/redmine_timesheet_extensions

AFTER installation of plugins

Update the database 

cd /usr/share/redmine
rake db:migrate_plugins RAILS_ENV=production

If you have problems use 

rake db:migrate_plugins RAILS_ENV=production --trace

Some Basic Plugins

Attach Screenshot (2.x)

For Redmine 2.x (requires java 1.6++ on the client side!)

[UPDATE] Apos 12:28, 16 February 2014 (CET)

There are some problems with the new Java 1.7 security.

See my post from 2014-02-06 hoo to solve this by creating a special subfolder an link to the assets-folder and editing the security setting of java on your client computer:

The files can be loaded here - for easier working:

CMI

Be careful in production environment: Highly experimental and almost not uninstallable, once used!

Troubeshooting

Gemfile.lock - Site won't start

Accessing the Webpage you will get: 

There was an error while trying to write to Gemfile.lock. It is likely that 
you need to allow write permissions for the file at path:

Solution: 

sudo apt-get install bundler #Installs ruby-dev, which is ruby1.9-dev
sudo touch /usr/share/redmine/Gemfile.lock
sudo chown www-data:www-data /usr/share/redmine/Gemfile.lock
