redmine bitnami

Steps to install redmine in a VM:

1. Download the VM on the web: https://bitnami.com/stack/redmine/virtual-machine

2. Configuration to star the VM with virtualbox:

3. Create a backup of a database to export:

$ /installdir/mysql/bin/mysqldump -u root -p database_name > backup.sql

4. Change keyboard configuration:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

Reboot the system.

5. Enable sshd for Ubuntu:

$ sudo mv /etc/init/ssh.conf.back /etc/init/ssh.conf

$ sudo start ssh

6. Restore the database:

Stop all servers and start only MySQL. Note that the installation directory could be different. This is the default installation directory for Virtual Machines and Cloud images:

$ sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh stop

$ sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh start mysql

Remove the previous database and create the new one. You can configure the database user password with a secure password.

$ mysql -u root -p 

Password: ****

mysql> drop database bitnami_redmine;

mysql> create database bitnami_redmine;

mysql> grant all privileges on bitnami_redmine.* to 'bitnami_redmine'@'localhost' identified by 'DATABASE_PASSWORD';

mysql> flush privileges;

Restore the new database:

$ mysql -u root -p bitnami_redmine < backup.sql

Edit the Redmine configuration file to update the database user password (the same that you set previously) /opt/bitnami/apps/redmine/htdocs/config/database.yml [First -> sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh stop mysql]:

production:

   adapter: mysql2

   database: bitnami_redmine

   host: localhost

   username: bitname_redmine

   password: "DATABASE_PASSWORD"

   encoding: utf8

Migrate the database to the latest version [First -> sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh start mysql]:

$ cd /opt/bitnami/apps/redmine/htdocs 

$ ruby bin/rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV="production"

7. Copy the files, /opt/bitnami/apps/redmine/htdocs/files folder from the old installation to the new one.

8. [OPTIONAL] If you have installed plugins in the previous version, copy the folders from "vendor/plugins" directory into new installation directory, in "plugins" folder. [este paso me le he saltado ya que no ha funcionado]

Check the plugins also support this new version and run the following command:

$ ruby bin/rake redmine:plugins RAILS_ENV="production"

Finally you should clean the cache and the sessions:

$ ruby bin/rake tmp:cache:clear

$ ruby bin/rake tmp:sessions:clear

Restart the servers and you can access to your new Redmine.

$ sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart

9. How to configure the email settings of Redmine?

You can configure the email settings in the installdir/apps/redmine/htdocs/config/configuration.yml file. In older versions you should use theinstalldir/apps/redmine/htdocs/config/email.yml file. Please note that installdir stands for /opt/bitnami in the machines launched with Bitnami Cloud Hosting.

The sample configuration for GMail account is shown below:

default:

  email_delivery:

    delivery_method: :smtp

    smtp_settings:

      address: smtp.gmail.com

      port: 587

      domain: your_domain.com

      authentication: :login

      user_name: your_email@gmail.com

      password: your_password

In case you receive an error message saying something like "530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first ...", make sure you have the enable_starttls_auto property set after the password line, enable_starttls_auto: true.

Once the configuration.yml file is changed, you need to restart the mongrel process:

In Redmine 2.0 or greater, if you see a similar error to this: "An error occurred while sending mail (SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv2/v3 read server hello A: unknown protocol)" you should remove the tls: true option from the configuration.yml file. Then, in this case, you only have to restart Apache.

If you are using a SMTP server that do not require authentication, it is possible that you should add the following option:

You can also change the link that appears in the email. Go to Administration -> Settings -> General -> Host name and path and you can write your domain name and port.

10. Eliminate the bitnami banner:

$ /home/bitnami/apps/redmine/bnconfig --disable_banner

# installdir/ctlscript.sh restart apache

openssl_verify_mode: 'none'

Change local time

In order to change the clocal time you have to execute:

# ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT+2 /etc/localtime
