Redmine install on CentOs

Question

I would like to install the Redmine on my CentOs 5 following the instructions on this link: http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/HowTo_install_Redmine_on_CentOS_5

I've reached until the "Configure Apache to host the documents" step without errors. At this step there's another link to succeed.
At basic steps on the 5th step there is a need to edit the rails path, but on the proposed path I dont have rails.

Do you have any idea where can I find it?

Answer 1

man, solved?

If not, try that (sorry about formatting on copying from solution page to here...):

install redmine (project management tool) on centos 5.4 with postgres backend

• prerequisites * enable the epel yum repository * installed postgresql database (I’m using the latest 8.4 provided from pgdg repository)

• install some packages

  yum install ruby ruby-devel ruby-libs ruby-irb ruby-rdoc ruby-postgres rubygems
  gem install rails
  

• create user/db

  su postgres
  createuser -P redmine (no superuser, can create databases)
  psql -U redmine postgres
  postgres#>create database redmine;
  postgres#>\q
  

• download latest stable redmine from http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=1850

  cd /opt
  wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/67144/redmine-0.8.7.tar.gz
  tar -xvzf redmine-0.8.7.tar.gz
  

• edit ruby database configuration

  cd redmine-0.8.7
  cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml
  vi config/database.yml
  

• modify the settings to your recently created database

  production:

  adapter: postgresql

  database: redmine

  host: localhost

  username: redmine

  password:

  encoding: utf8

• create a session store (for storing session cookies)

  rake config/initializers/session_store.rb
  

• create the database structure for your configured database in the “production” section

  RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate
  

• populate the tables with some initial data

  RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine:load_default_data
  

• set some file permissions (assumption: you’ll run redmine as user redmine)

  cd /opt/redmine-0.8.7
  sudo chown -R redmine:redmine files log tmp public/plugin_assets
  sudo chmod -R 755 files log tmp public/plugin_assets
  

• adjust your mailserver settings

  cp config/email.yml.example config/email.yml
  vi config/email.yml
  

• ...insert your mailserver/credentials and method of sending emails

• start the webserver as the user you “enabled” in the previous step

  ruby script/server webrick -e production
  

• the builtin web-server will start.

• Now you can point your browser to http://localhost:3000 and you’ll see the welcome page, click “sign in” and type credentials “admin”/”admin”.

• now you are logged in.

• As this admin user you can start creating users, projects, issues, ….
