The following is my notes on installing Redmine on Perfect Server Debian 6 with ISPConfig3. If you are ISPConfig3 users and would like to install Redmine, this walk-though maybe helpful. This guide assume you have ISPConfig 3 setup already. ISPConfig is a hosting control panel, you can use it to setup web, email, MySQL database with ease. If you don't know what is ISPConfig, please find the following link: After installed your perfect server and ISPConfig, go ahead to create a client, then a website and database for the new client.
