#
#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 https://yoursubdomain.example.com
# login: admin
# passw: admin
#set this vars

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.
