Redmine - Upgrade to 1.4.4 on a debian squeeze

This document describes how to upgrade Redmine. The procedure was tested for upgrade from version 1.0.1 to 1.4.4, but it might works on other Redmine versions.
In this procedure I used a basic install of a debian squeeze (the only service installed was openssh-server). I am assuming the server has network connectivity and its IP is 10.34.133.220.

Please note:
- please announce all people BEFORE starting this procedure
- the Apache server on production environment MUST be stopped so after the upgrade the database be in sync.
- this version of Redmine needs ruby version 1.8.7 or 1.9.3 (I am going to use the debian squeeze default ruby package which has version 1.8.7)
- all rsync-ed files in this procedure are attached

1. Login to the remote machine
[codesyntax lang="bash"]

ssh root@10.34.133.220

[/codesyntax]

2. Configure hostname
[codesyntax lang="bash"]

echo "workflow-vm" > /etc/hostname

[/codesyntax]

3. Install all required packages for Redmine installation
[codesyntax lang="bash"]

aptitude install apache2 mysql-server ruby libmysqlclient-dev libmagickcore-dev libmagickwand-dev imagemagick locate less rubygems sudo postfix mercurial cvs subversion darcs git libapache2-mod-passenger libxslt1-dev vim less

[/codesyntax]

4. Configure and test postfix
[codesyntax lang="bash"]

scp root@workflow-sandbox-vm.test.org:/etc/mailname /etc/
scp root@workflow-sandbox-vm.test.org:/etc/postfix/main.cf /etc/postfix/

echo "root: user@test.org" >> /etc/aliases

vim /etc/mailname
:%s/workflow-sandbox-vm.test.org/workflow-vm.test.org
:wq

vim /etc/postfix/main.cf
:%s/workflow-sandbox-vm.test.org/workflow-vm.test.org
:wq

newaliases
/etc/init.d/postfix restart

echo "test from new redmine server" | mail -s "test from new redmine server" "user@test.org"

[/codesyntax]

5. Configuring mysql database
[codesyntax lang="bash"]

mysql -Bsu root -pmysql123 -e "drop database redmine;"

mysql -Bsu root -pmysql123 -e "create user 'redmine'@'localhost' identified by 'redmine';"
mysql -Bsu root -pmysql123 -e "grant all privileges on redmine.* to 'redmine'@'localhost';"
mysql -Bsu root -pmysql123 -e "flush privileges;"
# dump mysql database from production environment and importing it to our machine
# maybe it is a good idea to use dbredmine as mysql server
# anyway for now we are going to use localhost as mysql server
mysqldump -hdbredmine redmine_default > ~/redmine_production.sql
mysql -u redmine -predmine redmine < ~/redmine_production.sql
