Installing Redmine Project Manager Under Ubuntu 10.4

Ubuntu 10.4 using Passenger¶

If you can't get it working with mod_cgi, you might want to try mod_passenger (it's also quicker):

$ sudo apt-get install redmine redmine-mysql

The second package, redmine-mysql, can be replaced by either redmine-pgsql or redmine-sqlite if you want to use either of those databases.

Ubuntu should prompt you for all the interesting details.

Redmine will now be installed in /usr/share/redmine and /etc/redmine
Configuration¶

Symlink /usr/share/redmine/public to your desired web-accessible location. E.g.:

$ ln -s /usr/share/redmine/public /var/www/redmine

By default, passenger runs as 'nobody', so you'll need to fix that. In /etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.conf, add a PassengerDefaultUser www-data directive.

You'll also need to configure the /var/www/redmine location in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default:

RailsBaseURI /redmine

$ sudo a2enmod passenger

Restart apache2 and you should be good to go.
