== Redmine installation
Redmine - project management software
Copyright (C) 2006-2010 Jean-Philippe Lang
http://www.redmine.org/
== Requirements
* Ruby 1.8.6 or 1.8.7
* Ruby on Rails 2.3.5 (official downloadable Redmine releases are packaged with
the appropriate Rails version)
* A database:
* MySQL (tested with MySQL 5)
* PostgreSQL (tested with PostgreSQL 8.1)
* SQLite (tested with SQLite 3)
Optional:
* SVN binaries >= 1.3 (needed for repository browsing, must be available in PATH)
* RMagick (gantt export to png)
== Installation
1. Uncompress the program archive
2. Create an empty database: "redmine" for example
3. Configure database parameters in config/database.yml
for "production" environment (default database is MySQL)
4. Create the database structure. Under the application main directory:
rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV="production"
It will create tables and an administrator account.
5. Generate a session store secret
Redmine stores session data in cookies by default, which requires
a secret to be generated. Run:
rake config/initializers/session_store.rb
6. Setting up permissions
The user who runs Redmine must have write permission on the following
subdirectories: files, log, tmp (create the last one if not present).
Assuming you run Redmine with a user named redmine:
mkdir tmp
sudo chown -R redmine:redmine files log tmp
sudo chmod -R 755 files log tmp
7. Test the installation by running WEBrick web server:
ruby script/server -e production
Once WEBrick has started, point your browser to http://localhost:3000/
You should now see the application welcome page
8. Use default administrator account to log in:
login: admin
password: admin
Go to "Administration" to load the default configuration data (roles,
trackers, statuses, workflow) and adjust application settings
== Email delivery Configuration
Copy config/email.yml.example to config/email.yml and edit this file
to adjust your SMTP settings.
Don't forget to restart the application after any change to this file.
Please do not enter your SMTP settings in environment.rb.
