Teambox is an innovative team collaboration and task management tool. (ve) is the perfect environment for it.

Prerequisites

You should follow the (ve):Nginx on thin rails article to get Rails and Rubygems set up on your (ve).

You'll also need to have the bundle gem installed 

$ gem install bundler -v '~> 0.9.12'

Finally, you'll need the 'git' source management system to get the code.

Unfortunately, CentOS repos don't have git, but the EPEL (Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux) repository does.

Install EPEL with 

$ rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm

With EPEL installed, you can go ahead and install git. 

$ yum install git

You'll also need the ImageMagick library 

$ yum install ImageMagick

The install won't work unless the SQLite, MySqp and PostgreSQL gems are installed, which requires the development libraries for all three 

$ yum install sqlite-devel mysql-devel postgresql-devel

Finally, install some xml libraries 

$ yum install libxml2-devel libxslt-devel

Get Teambox

Check out teambox using git 

$ git clone git://github.com/micho/teambox.git /teambox

Setup Teambox

Move to the teambox directory 

$ cd /teambox

Run bundle to setup teambox 

$ bundle install
  • Note: This must be run on Ruby 1.8.7 (at the moment)

Prepare the Database

You'll need to setup the database for Teambox 

$ mysql -uroot -p
Enter Password:

> CREATE DATABASE teambox;
Query OK
> GRANT ALL ON teambox.* TO 'teambox'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
Query OK
> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Query OK
> exit

Load Database Schema

Run rake to load the database tables 

$ rake db:create db:schema:load RAILS_ENV=production

Edit Teambox Config

Edit the database file to reflect the new database settings 

$ nano config/database.yml

Edit the production section

config/database.yml 

production:
adapter: mysql
host: localhost
username: teambox
password: password
database: teambox

Edit the teambox.yml config file 

$ nano config/teambox.yml

Edit at least these fields

config/teambox.yml 

app_domain: your.domain.com

smtp_settings:
:domain:         your.domain.com        # the domain your emails will come from
:address:        mail.google.com  # SMTP server used to send emails
:port:           25
:authentication: :plain
:user_name:      username
:password:       password

# Set to true when using Gmail
:enable_starttls_auto: true
  • Tip: When using zimbra as your mail server, set enable_starttle_auto to true
