Step 1: Install needed packages

you will need remove installed ruby because repo version is 1.8.7 and we need 1.9 at least

yum remove ruby

yum install wget

enable epel repos

wget http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm

rpm -Uvh epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm

install required libraries

yum install readline-devel? libyaml-devel gdbm-devel? ncurses-devel? redis openssl-devel zlib-devel gcc gcc-c++ make autoconf readline-devel curl-devel expat-devel gettext-devel? tk-devel? libxml2-devel libffi-devel?libxslt-devel libicu-devel httpd httpd-devel gitolite git-all python-devel python-pip sqlite-devel sendmail vim mysql-devel

Step 2: Install Ruby 1.9.3

wget http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-1.9.3-p0.tar.gz

tar xzvf ruby-1.9.3-p0.tar.gz

cd ruby-1.9.3-p0

./configure

make

make install

Step 3: Install gitolite

Create gitolite-admin user

??? useradd -d /home/gitolite-admin gitolite-admin

generate RSA key pair for gitolite-admin user

su gitolite-admin
ssh-keygen
exit

Move generate public key to gitolite home dir

cp /home/gitolite-admin/.ssh/id_rsa.pub /var/lib/gitolite/id_rsa_gitolite_admin.pub
chown gitolite:gitolite /var/lib/gitolite/id_rsa_gitolite_admin.pub

complete gitolite and gitolite-admin users pairing

su gitolite
gl-setup /var/lib/gitolite/id_rsa_gitolite_admin.pub

a editor will opened changue repo permissions to 0007

$REPO_UMASK to 0007
exit
su gitolite-admin
cd
git clone gitolite@localhost:gitolite-admin

in the last command you clone the gitolite-admin repo on gitolite-admin’s home. Gitolite-admin repo is gitolite config

before continue we need configure gitolite-admin git profile

git config –global user.email “gitolite-admin@localhost”
git config –global user.name “gitolite-admin”
exit

add gitolite-admin to gitolite group

usermod -a -G gitolite gitolite-admin

changue gitolite-admin password

passwd gitolite-admin

Step 6 Launch Redis

chkconfig redis on

/etc/init.d/redis start

Step 7 GitLab

Clone GitLab sourcecode

cd /var/www

git clone git://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq.git

chown -R gitolite-admin:gitolite-admin gitlabhq/

cd gitlabhq/

Install phython dependencies

pip-python install pygments

Install required gems

gem install bundler

bundle install

su gitolite-admin

bundle install

Prepare config files

cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml

cp config/gitlab.yml.example config/gitlab.yml

Prepare production enviroment

RAILS_ENV=production rake db:setup
RAILS_ENV=production rake db:seed_fu

you will get these login data

login………admin@local.host
password……5iveL!fe

Config gitolite gitlab link

vim config/gitlab.yml

your? git_host: section must be like this

# Git Hosting congiguration
git_host:
system: gitolite
admin_uri: gitolite@localhost:gitolite-admin
base_path: /var/lib/gitolite/repositories/
host: localhost
git_user: gitolite
# port: 22

fix gitolite permissions

chmod -R 770 /var/lib/gitolite/repositories/

try your installation launching webrick

bundle exec rails s -e production

open a web broser, write? yourhost:3000 and check if everything is working if you get an error send me a comment

Install passenger for Apache

gem install passenger
passenger-install-apache2-module

follow screen instructions

edit apache config file

vim /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

LoadModule passenger_module /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/passenger-3.0.11/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
PassengerRoot /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/passenger-3.0.11
