# 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 does not involve moving/copying config files etc.

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]

~~~

~~~

service apache2 reload

mysqldump -h 160.45.63.*** -uredmine -p redmine | bzip2 > ../redmine-$(date +"%Y-%m-%d").sql.bz2

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

(Create a new branch for each minor version)

~~~

git rebase --onto $TAG $LAST_TAG edit-redmine-production-3.3

~~~

## 4. Update the dependencies and database

~~~

bundle exec rake generate_secret_token
