Preparation
sudo aptitude install apache2
sudo aptitude install libapache2-mod-passenger
sudo aptitude install mysql
sudo aptitude install redmine
Configuration
$ sudo 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:
PassengerDefaultUser www-data
You'll also need to configure the /var/www/redmine location in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default by adding:
<Directory /var/www/redmine> RailsBaseURI /redmine PassengerResolveSymlinksInDocumentRoot on </Directory>Enable passenger:
$ sudo a2enmod passenger
Restart apache2 and you should be able to access Redmine at: http://redmine.server.ip.address/redmine
If you receive a "403: Forbidden" error after setting up Redmine, the Redmine 'public' folder may have incorrect permissions set. The executable bit on the public folder must be enabled or you will receive a "403: Forbidden" error when attempting to access Redmine.
