# RedmineUpdate

This is a brief summary of the steps required to update this redmine installation.

**NOTE:** The Redmine installation is a git clone from https://github.com/redmine/redmine. All modifications to existing and newly created configuration files are in the local branch `edit-redmine-production`. Thereby the update process is quite simple.

In the following it is assumed that the commands are executed from within the redmine installation folder, so as first step

~~~

cd $REDMINE_ROOT

~~~

## 1. Enable maintenance mode

Uncomment the following line in `/etc/apache2/sites-available/siteconf/dev.e-taxonomy.eu.conf`

~~~

# Disabling Redmine for maintenace

RewriteCond $1                  !^projects/edit/wiki/Maintenance.*

RewriteCond $1                  !^stylesheets/.*

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# restrict access by IP Adress:

#  ...

RewriteCond  %{REMOTE_ADDR}     !^**\.**\.**\.**$ 

RewriteRule ^/redmine/(.*)      http://dev.e-taxonomy.eu/redmine/projects/edit/wiki/Maintenance [R]

~~~

Reload Apache

~~~

service apache2 reload

## 2. Backup  

~~~

mysqldump -uroot -p redmine | bzip2 > redmine-$(date +"%m-%d-%y").sql.bz2

tar -czf ../redmine-$(date +"%m-%d-%y").tar.gz ../redmine

~~~

## 3. Update the code base

~~~

git fetch -t

git fetch 

git tag --list

Check if the target release tag is available

Update by rebasing
