Install ruby 2.2

The version of Ruby in CentOS 7 repository is 2.0 but we need to install 2.2 for the redmine

It’s fine to install it even if 2.0 is already installed since 2.2 is located on a different PATH.

Install ruby 2.2 from SCLo

[root@aws ~]# yum --enablerepo=centos-sclo-rh -y install rh-ruby22

Packages from Software Collections are installed uder the /opt directory. To use it, Load environment variables as below

load environment variables

[root@aws ~]# scl enable rh-ruby22 bash
[root@aws ~]# ruby -v
ruby 2.2.2p95 (2015-04-13 revision 50295) [x86_64-linux]
[root@aws ~]# which ruby
/opt/rh/rh-ruby22/root/usr/bin/ruby

Enable Ruby 2.2 automatically at login time, configure profile as below

[root@aws ~]# vi /etc/profile.d/rh-ruby22.sh 

create the file with the below content

#!/bin/bash
source /opt/rh/rh-ruby22/enable
export X_SCLS="`scl enable rh-ruby22 'echo $X_SCLS'`"
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/rh/rh-ruby22/root/usr/local/bin

Add Execute Permission

chmod +x /etc/profile.d/rh-ruby22.sh

Create MySQL database for the redmine.

flush privileges;
exit 

Download and copy the redmine to the webroot

[root@aws ~]# tar zxvf redmine-3.0.3.tar.gz
[root@aws ~]# mv redmine-3.0.3 /var/www/redmine
[root@aws ~]# cd /var/www/redmine

host: localhost
# database user

[root@aws redmine]# gem install passenger --no-rdoc --no-ri

Install modules for Apache2

[root@aws redmine]# passenger-install-apache2-module
Welcome to the Phusion Passenger Apache 2 module installer, v5.0.6.

This installer will guide you through the entire installation process. It
shouldn't take more than 3 minutes in total.

Here's what you can expect from the installation process:

1. The Apache 2 module will be installed for you.
2. You'll learn how to configure Apache.
3. You'll learn how to deploy a Ruby on Rails application.

Don't worry if anything goes wrong. This installer will advise you on how to
solve any problems.

Press Enter to continue, or Ctrl-C to abort.
1 # specify 1 and Enter
.....
.....
After you restart Apache, you are ready to deploy any number of web
applications on Apache, with a minimum amount of configuration!
..... 

Configure httpd for Redmine. This example shows to configure it on virtual hostings.

Create configuration file for passenger and Add the VirtualHost configuration as well.

[root@aws redmine]# vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/passenger.conf
LoadModule passenger_module /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/passenger-5.0.13/buildout/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/2.2.0/gems/passenger-5.0.13
PassengerDefaultRuby /usr/bin/ruby
NameVirtualHost *:80

ServerName redmine.aws.local
DocumentRoot /var/www/redmine/public

Assign Ownership of redmine directory to apache. You may use ACL if required.

[root@aws redmine]# chown -R apache. /var/www/redmine 

Restart http service

[root@aws redmine]# systemctl restart httpd 

Now, you will be able to access the redmnine via http://redmine.aws.local
