Update the System
Copy and execute the following command to update the critical components of the system :1
yum update
After the update completed, we need to restart the system using the following command :1
reboot
Install the dependencies packages
These are the basic software packages for environment settings and utility tools to compile other packages in the next section.
Copy the block command and execute in the Putty Windows :
This is a long command line, copy all and implementation.1
yum -y install nano zip unzip libyaml-devel zlib-devel curl-devel openssl-devel httpd-devel apr-devel apr-util-devel mysql-devel
Install Apache and MySQL
Apache is a server application for communicating over the HTTP protocol. Apache runs on operating systems such as Unix, Linux, Microsoft Windows, and other operating systems.
Apache play an important role in the development of the internet and the world wide web.
MySQL is the database management free open source most popular on the world, MySQL has high speed, stability and ease of use, portability, operating on multiple operating systems offer a large system is very powerful utility functions.
With the speed and high security, MySQL is well suited for applications that access databases on the internet.
Use the following command to install :1
yum -y install httpd mysql mysql-server
Allow start services when OS boot :1

4chkconfig httpd on
chkconfig mysqld on
service httpd start
service mysqld start
Set the password for MySQL1
/usr/bin/mysql_secure_installation
Because we not have a password for the root account so you press Enter to skip.1
Enter current password for root (enter for none):
Select Yes to set the password for the MySQL root account.1
Set root password? [Y/n] Y
Enter and confirm your password, remove the anonymous user, select Yes1
Remove anonymous users? [Y/n] Y
Allow remote login to MySQL as root account, select No.1
Disallow root login remotely? [Y/n] n
Delete the test database, select Yes1
Remove test database and access to it? [Y/n] Y
Reload privilege tables, select Yes1
Reload privilege tables now? [Y/n] Y
Turn off SELinux
SELinux is a security feature advanced for Linux operating system, when installing the system you need to turn off this feature to get the process done smoothly, after successful you can turn on back if you want.1
nano /etc/selinux/config
Change the file content :1
SELINUX=disabled
Press CTRL + O to save the file and press CTRL + X to exit.
Set up the Hostname
By default when installing a new OS Centos not set the hostname, so we need to setting with the command :1
nano /etc/hosts
1 | 127.0.0.1 localhost |
Add your domain name or host name that you set on both the command line, save the file and exit, the server name will be changed when restarting.
Configuring the Firewall
We do not want to turn off the firewall because it’s quite important, so you need to add rules to allow port 80 for HTTP and port 443 for HTTPS.
In the Centos OS, you can configuration firewall by editing files iptables and ip6tables.1
nano /etc/sysconfig/iptables
1 | # Firewall configuration written by system-config-firewall |
Press Enter to create a new line after the line of port 22, copy the following two commands and right click on the window to the Paste command.1
2-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT
Press CTRL + O to save the file and press CTRL + X to exit.
The same applies for IP6 firewall :1
nano /etc/sysconfig/ip6tables
Add these lines to the file.1
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT
After you finish editing both files, run the commands to apply the new rules for firewall.1
2/etc/init.d/iptables restart
/etc/init.d/ip6tables restart
Allow turn on the firewall when reboot the operating system.1
2chkconfig iptables on
chkconfig ip6tables on
Finally, we need to restart the system to apply the changes to the SELinux and Hostname.1
reboot
Install PHP and phpMyAdmin
Because we use MySQL database management system, so we need to install phpMyAdmin program management.
phpMyAdmin is a free open source tool written by PHP language to manage MySQL database via a web browser.
It can create, modify or delete databases, tables, fields or records, perform SQL statements, or managing users and permissions.
The command to install PHP and the packages :1
yum -y install php php-mysql php-gd php-imap php-ldap php-mbstring php-odbc php-pear php-xml php-xmlrpc php-pecl-apc php-soap
Restarting the Apache service :1
service httpd restart
And install phpMyadmin :1

Save the file and exit, restarting the Apache service :1
service httpd restart
After successfully installed phpMyadmin, you can check at the address :
http://your-domain/phpmyadmin
Login with account : root / your_password
With Password has been set at step install MySQL database in the above.
Note: If you install the Redmine system on the PC or in a virtual machine which not on the dedicated server, we need to switch the application phpMyadmin to run on port 8080 because port 80 will be used for Redmine in the next steps.
We need add a port 8080 to the firewall and change the VirtualHost for phpMyadmin.1
nano /etc/sysconfig/iptables
1 | # Firewall configuration written by system-config-firewall |
Add the command line :1
-A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT
The same applies for IP6 firewall :1

Install Ruby
Ruby is a object-oriented programming language, capable of reflection. Syntax inherited from Ada and Perl with object-oriented features of Smalltalk, and also share some features with Python, Lisp, Dylan and CLU, Ruby is a single phase interpreter.
Ruby provides programming patterns, including functional programming, object-oriented, imperative, reflective, it uses dynamic variable and automatic memory management.
Install Ruby interpreter with version management program RVM.1
\curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash
After successful, we will launch RVM1
source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh
The following command will list the versions of Ruby to install :1
rvm list known
1 | [root@iZ23lttzrggZ /]# source /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh |
We choose the stable version [ruby-] 1.9.3 [-p551], and execute the following command :1
rvm install 1.9.3
1 | ruby-1.9.3-p551 - #extracting rubygems-2.4.5.... |
The installation process is pretty long time, but you do not need any intervention, after successful, you check with the following command :1
ruby -v
1 | [root@iZ23lttzrggZ /]# ruby -v |

</IfModule>
After you restart Apache, you are ready to deploy any number of web
applications on Apache, with a minimum amount of configuration!
Press ENTER to continue.
--------------------------------------------
Deploying a web application: an example
Suppose you have a web application in /somewhere. Add a virtual host to your
Apache configuration file and set its DocumentRoot to /somewhere/public:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.yourhost.com
# !!! Be sure to point DocumentRoot to 'public'!
DocumentRoot /somewhere/public
<Directory /somewhere/public>
# This relaxes Apache security settings.
AllowOverride all
# MultiViews must be turned off.
Options -MultiViews
# Uncomment this if you're on Apache >= 2.4:
#Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
And that's it! You may also want to check the Users Guide for security and
optimization tips, troubleshooting and other useful information:

Configuring Email
Another very important function of Redmine is using email to notify members when the contents of each project changes, Redmine can use many different methods to send email that is Sendmail, SMTP, GMail …
To configure the email we will edit the configuration file.1
nano /var/www/redmine/config/configuration.yml
The simplest is you use features of the default SendMail in the Centos OS by settings :1
2email_delivery:
delivery_method: :sendmail
Note : Do not use the Tab key to indent when editing the configuration file, you need to use the space bar on the keyboard.
If you use GMail’s SMTP, you need to register an email account with the login methods used password normal and disable two-step authentication by smart phone.
Enter your Gmail account as below :1

domain: "smtp.gmail.com"
authentication: :plain
user_name: "your_email@gmail.com"
password: "your_password"
Save the file configuration and exit.
Create Virtual Host for Redmine
Create an Apache configuration file for the Redmine application at the port 80.1
nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/redmine.conf
Copy the text below and paste into the editor window, note the information to change your domain name.
1 | <VirtualHost *:80> |
Save the file configuration and exit.
Running Redmine
Before execute Redmine in the first time, we must permission for the directory installed Redmine and restart Apache service.1
2
3
4cd /var/www
chown -R apache:apache redmine
chmod -R 755 redmine
service httpd restart
Redmine will run at the following address URL :
http://your-domain
Login to system with an administrator account : admin / admin
You can change your password after successful login.
We can see Redmine has running but very primitive, in the next steps we will install the support plugins and customized Redmine to use professional.
Install Subversion
Subversion, also known as SVN, it is a version management system is very popular and easy to use, most programmers can use it competently.
We need to create a folder to store data for Redmine, the following command creates a directory and permissions for the Apache service.1
2
3mkdir -p /opt/repositories/svn
chown -R apache:apache /opt/repositories/
chmod 0755 /opt/repositories
The following command install Subversion and the packages :1
yum install mod_dav_svn subversion subversion-ruby
1 | [root@iZ23lttzrggZ /]# yum install mod_dav_svn subversion subversion-ruby |
The next, we will create a directory and copy the file called “Redmine.pm”, it responsible for interface data repository with Redmine and it is written by Perl language programming.1
2mkdir /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/Apache
ln -s /var/www/redmine/extra/svn/Redmine.pm /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/Apache/Redmine.pm
Note : If you are using 32 bit Centos, change the path “/usr/lib64” to “/usr/lib”
After installation is complete, from the Redmine application, go to the page Administration> Settings> Repositories to check the results.
To support the authentication and access to data repository for each member, we need to create a virtual host for the Apache service can access Redmine database.1
nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf
Add the following lines to the end and still retain the old contents of the file :1
