CentOS: HowTo install ruby, rubygems and passenger for a redmine install

I like to put my complied software in /opt vs /usr/local. Make sure rpm version is not installed.

install ruby:

wget ftp://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.8/ruby-1.8.7-p174.tar.gz
./configure --prefix=/opt/ruby-1.8.7-p174
sudo make && sudo make install

user alternatvies to create sym links:

/usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/bin/ruby ruby /opt/ruby-1.8.7-p174/bin/ruby 1 \
--slave /usr/bin/rdoc rdoc /opt/ruby-1.8.7-p174/bin/rdoc \
--slave /usr/bin/ri ri /opt/ruby-1.8.7-p174/bin/ri \
--slave /usr/bin/irb irb /opt/ruby-1.8.7-p174/bin/irb \
--slave /usr/bin/erb erb /opt/ruby-1.8.7-p174/bin/erb \
--slave /usr/bin/testrb testrb /opt/ruby-1.8.7-p174/bin/testrb \
--slave /usr/bin/gem gem /opt/ruby-1.8.7-p174/bin/gem \
--slave /usr/bin/rake rake /opt/ruby-1.8.7-p174/bin/rake

make sure current ruby is set to 1.8.7: /usr/sbin/alternatives –config ruby

install rubygems:

wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/70696/rubygems-1.3.7.tgz
sudo ruby setup.rb

install gems (No docs):

gem install --no-rdoc --no-ri rails
gem install --no-rdoc --no-ri passenger
gem install --no-rdoc --no-ri mysql
gem install --no-rdoc --no-ri rack -v=1.0.1

Passenger said I needed to install curl-dev  (yum install curl-devel)

install passenger apache module:

	/opt/ruby-1.8.7-p174/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-3.0.0/bin/passenger-install-apache2-module

modify your httpd conf file

   LoadModule passenger_module /opt/ruby-1.8.7-p174/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-3.0.0/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so
   PassengerRoot /opt/ruby-1.8.7-p174/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-3.0.0
   PassengerRuby /opt/ruby-1.8.7-p174/bin/ruby

Install redmine according to Docs
