How to run Redmine with Ruby Selector

Running Redmine with a Ruby Selector involves configuring your web server (like Apache or Nginx) to use a specific version of Ruby and then setting up Redmine to run using that version. Below are step-by-step instructions for setting up Redmine with a Ruby Selector:

1. Install Ruby and Rails:

  • Make sure you have the desired version of Ruby installed on your server. You can use a Ruby Version Manager (like RVM or rbenv) or your server's native package manager to install Ruby.

  • Install Rails using the command:

    php
  • gem install rails -v <version>

2. Install Redmine:

  • Download and install Redmine. You can follow the official installation guide provided by Redmine: Redmine Installation Guide

3. Set Up Database:

  • Configure a database (like MySQL or PostgreSQL) for Redmine. Follow the database setup instructions provided by Redmine.

4. Configure Web Server:

  • Assuming you have a Ruby Selector set up on your server, you'll need to configure your web server (Apache or Nginx) to use the specific Ruby version you've installed.

For Apache:

  • Edit your Apache configuration file to specify the Ruby version. For example, with Passenger, you might have something like:

    bash
  • PassengerRuby /path/to/your/ruby
  • Restart Apache after making this change.

For Nginx with Passenger:

  • Modify your Nginx configuration to include a passenger_ruby directive:

    bash
  • passenger_ruby /path/to/your/ruby;
  • Restart Nginx after making this change.

5. Configure Redmine:

  • Navigate to the Redmine installation directory and find the config/database.yml file. Update it with the appropriate database credentials.

  • Generate a secret token using the command:

     

 

  • rake generate_secret_token
  • Migrate the database:

     

 

  • rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production

6. Set Up Additional Configuration:

  • Depending on your specific requirements, you may need to configure additional settings like email, plugins, and permissions. Refer to the Redmine documentation for detailed information.

7. Restart the Web Server:

  • After making all the necessary configurations, restart your web server to apply the changes.

8. Access Redmine:

  • Open your web browser and navigate to the URL where Redmine is hosted. You should see the Redmine login page.

That's it! You should now have Redmine up and running with the specific Ruby version you've selected using the Ruby Selector. Keep in mind that the exact steps may vary depending on your specific hosting environment and configurations.
