ubuntu install redmine

after the installation of redmine, it is always very slow. redmin 2.1 this modification can solve the problem.

http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/HowTo_configure_Apache_to_run_Redmine
this is an aticle for older version of redmine.

simply do this after the installation:(suppose you install in /opt/redmine-2.1/)
cp configuration.yml.example configuration.yml
vi /etc/apache2/site-enable/redmine

add :


        RailsEnv production
        RailsBaseURI /redmine

normally this works.

There is another article talk about this:

http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/HowTo_Install_Redmine_in_Ubuntu

My own configuration is :

/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/redmine

#the two parameter is for private server and do not close the idle process to get a more quick response.
PassengerPoolIdleTime 0
PassengerMaxPreloaderIdleTime 0

        DocumentRoot "/opt/redmine-2.1/public"
        ServerName redmine.addepi.fr
        ServerAdmin webmaster@addepi.fr
        CustomLog /opt/redmine-2.1/log/access.log combined
        ErrorLog /opt/redmine-2.1/log/error.log
 
   Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI -MultiViews
   PassengerResolveSymlinksinDocumentRoot on
   AllowOverride None
   RailsEnv production
   RailsBaseURI /redmine
   RewriteEngine On
        RewriteBase "/"
        RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]
        RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [OR]
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} dispatch.fcgi$
        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ dispatch.fcgi [QSA,L]
 

and /opt/redmine-2.1/config/database.yml

production:
  adapter: mysql
  database: redmine
  host: localhost
  username: redmine
  password: xxxx
  encoding: utf8

and you need to set the user name who run on the mod_passenger in /etc/apache2/mods-available/passenger.conf:

  PassengerDefaultUser www-data
  PassengerRoot /usr
  PassengerRuby /usr/bin/ruby

This user is related to the permission of redmine, you need to set the owner www-data to “files”, “log”, “tmp” as this user assume to run the redmine.(in the installation path: for example, /opt/redmine-2.1/)
