Installing Redmine on (bluehost) shared hosting
Hi, here a script to install readmine 0.8.4 (www.readmine.org) on a shared host that offers ruby on rails. enjoy
#automatic install of redmine 0.8.4 (http://www.redmine.org/) on a shared server (tested on bluehost) # #AUTHOR: Marco Bernasocchi (http://www.bernawebdesign.ch) #LICENSE: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html # #BEFORE starting: # - create an empty DB (using cpanel) and a DB user with full permissions on the db # - create a mail user used to send out mails (quota can be set to 1Mb since you just need to send mails with it) # - cd into the dir you want to install to. (for example /home/username/railsApps/redmine) # #AFTER (not mandatory): # - create a subdomain (in cpanel) for redmine and link it to the public folder in redmine # example: # delete the default created folder # rm -rf /home/username/public_html/redmine/ # create symlink to the public folder # ln -s /home/username/railsApps/redmine/public /home/username/public_html/redmine # now redmine is located at http://yoursubdomain.example.com # login: admin # passw: admin #set this vars # MY_DB="dbName" MY_DB_USER="dbUser" MY_DB_PASSW="dbPassw" MY_DOMAIN="example.com" MY_MAIL_SUBDOMAIN="mail."

If you plan to integrate with a repository don’t forget to check the settings>repositories tab, where it says “Fixing keywords”, it is a very cool function that allows you to automatically change the issue status by using keywords in the commit message.

[...] to install redmine follow my previous post, disable the “autofetch commits” option in the administration page [...]
cool, thanks for the post, I was looking into it too, so you saved me some work
Hey there, thanks very much for this write-up. It helped a great deal. I’m new to Ruby and just got this bluehost account. The installation script is awesome..
