== Redmine installation Redmine - project management software Copyright (C) 2006-2008 Jean-Philippe Lang http://www.redmine.org/ == Requirements * Ruby on Rails 1.2.6 or 2.0.2 * A database (see compatibility below) Optional: * SVN binaries >= 1.3 (needed for repository browsing, must be available in PATH) * RMagick (gantt export to png) Supported databases: * MySQL (tested with MySQL 5) * PostgreSQL (tested with PostgreSQL 8.1) * SQLite (tested with SQLite 3) == 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. Insert default configuration data in the database: rake redmine:load_default_data RAILS_ENV="production" It will load default roles, trackers, statuses, workflows and enumerations. This step is optional but *highly recommended* 6. 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 7. Use default administrator account to log in: login: admin password: admin 8. You can go to "Admin -> Settings" to modify application settings. 9. Setup Apache or Lighttpd with fastcgi for best performance. == SMTP server Configuration In config/environment.rb, you can set parameters for your SMTP server: config.action_mailer.smtp_settings: SMTP server configuration config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries: set to false to disable mail delivering Don't forget to restart the application after any change to this file.
