Redmine Installation Guide and Migration for Linux (Bitnami Redmine)

Installing redmine is never an easy work. The same as migrate the old version data.

Here is a simple and fast way for y’all.

I use ubuntu14.04.1 and Redmine 2.5.2 in this guide.





Redmine

Download Redmine(Linux)：https://bitnami.com/stack/redmine

Get the permission and enter the GUI installer by typing the following in terminal.


$ chmod 700 bitnami-redmine-2.5.2-0-linux-installer.run

$ ./bitnami-redmine-2.5.2-0-linux-installer.run
Red color part it’s depend on the version which you are installing.

Then just follow the installer ( Make sure you install the “phpMyAdmin” )

After finishing installing at your localhost, click on “Access BitNami Redmine Stack”



Migration

1. cd to the path where your redmine installed  e.g. /home/……/redmine-5.2-0,

open the GUI dashboard which provide by bitnami,


$ /manager-linux.run


2. By clicking on “Open phpMyAdmin”, enter phpMyAdmin ( login as root user )



3. Select “bitnami_redmine” database.

Click “import” on the top to import the old version sql file.



4. Back to the terminal, cd to …… (path your redmine installed)/ redmine-2.5.2-0/apps/redmine/htdocs,

enter the following:


$ruby bin/rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production


If error shows ruby missing:

#Install RVM


$curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby
  (Remember to restart the terminal)



#Install Ruby 1.9

(If it shows “RVM is not a function, selecting rubies with ‘rvm use …’ will not work.“

then you should type in “$/bin/bash –login” first )

$rvm install 1.9.3
#Change global version


$rvm 1.9.3 --default

#Confirm the version


$ruby –v
=====================================================================

After that, do it again.


$ruby bin/rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
(watch out for the path at step 4.)



If error shows “Mysql2::Error: Table ‘queries_roles’ already exists: CREATE TABLE queries_roles“

Enter phpMyAdmin to drop ”queries_roles” table at bitnami_redmine.



It might also appear “Mysql2::Error: Table ‘custom_fields_roles’ already exists: CREATE TABLE custom_fields_roles“

Enter phpMyAdmin to drop ”custom_fields_roles” table at bitnami_redmine.

Above all, click the ‘restart all’ on the GUI dashboard.

You are good to go!



enjoy
