Configuring Bitnami Redmine Portable for Advanced Integration with Subversion

When it comes to managing projects, integrating your version control system with your project management tool can be a game-changer. In this article, we will explore how to configure Bitnami Redmine Portable with Subversion for advanced integration.

Before we begin, it's essential to note that this guide has been updated to work with Redmine 2.1.4. If you're using an earlier version, please consult the relevant documentation.

Step 1: Grant Permissions

The first step is to grant permissions to the necessary directories and files. To do this, run the following command in your terminal:

```

sudo chmod -R 0755 /opt/bitnami/repository

```

This will give the necessary permissions to the `repository` directory.

Step 2: Copy Redmine.pm File

Next, you need to copy the `Redmine.pm` file into the Perl modules folder. Run the following command:

```

cp /opt/bitnami/redmine/extra/svn/Redmine.pm /usr/lib/perl/lib/site_perl/5.16.3/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Apache2/

```

This will copy the necessary file to the correct location.

Step 3: Create Repository Directory

Create a directory for your repository by running the following command:

```

sudo mkdir -p /opt/bitnami/repository/svn

```

This will create a new directory for your Subversion repository.

Step 4: Configure Apache

To enable the necessary modules, add the following lines to the `/opt/bitnami/apache/bin/envvars` file:

```

LoadModule perl_module modules/mod_perl.so

LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so

```

Next, add the following line to your Apache configuration file (e.g. `httpd.conf`):

```

LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so

```

Make sure that the `mod_dav` module is enabled in your Apache configuration file.

Step 5: Install ActiveResource Gem

Finally, install the ActiveResource gem by running the following command:

```

sudo /opt/bitnami/ruby/bin/gem install activeresource

```

This will install the necessary gem for Redmine to communicate with Subversion.

That's it! With these steps complete, you should now have Bitnami Redmine Portable configured for advanced integration with Subversion. This configuration allows for automatic repository creation and rights management, making it easier than ever to manage your projects and collaborate with your team.

In this article, we have explored how to configure Bitnami Redmine Portable with Subversion for advanced integration.
