Answer 1

If you actually looked, you would have found that the instructions are on the redmine website: http://www.redmine.org/wiki/1/RedmineInstall

Answer 2

Given that no truly reliable installation instructions can be found around (Fedora or other distribution that is), I will hereby detail the installation steps that worked for me. The website instructions are pretty reliable, but this is the most straightforward approach. I assume that you already have Apache2 and MySql, and installed Redmine 1.2.1 on a given $REDMINE_HOME.
This procedure was tested on Ubuntu 11.04, but given the packages involved, it should not be a problem replicating the procedure with success under Fedora. I will try to be as generic as possible.
Ruby:
Install ruby, rubygems, rake and the development mysql client library (libmysqlclient-dev on Ubuntu); a working ruby version is the 1.8.7 as of Sep '11
gem install rails -v=2.3.11
gem install i18n -v=0.4.2
gem install mysql
MySql:
Perform the following list of commands:
create database redmine character set utf8;
create user 'redmine'#'localhost' identified by 'my_password';
grant all privileges on redmine.* to 'redmine'#'localhost';
Redmine configuration:
Create a $REDMINE_HOME/config/database.yml file with at least the following profile:
production:
adapter: mysql
database: redmine
host: localhost
username: redmine
password: my_password
In $REDMINE_HOME, run
rake generate_session_store
rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
rake redmine:load_default_data RAILS_ENV=production
Now running ruby script/server -e production should have you access Redmine at "0.0.0.0:3000".
Apache2:
Install the Apache2 Passenger mod (libapache2-mod-passenger in Ubuntu)
Assuming you provided a symbolic link to $REDMINE_HOME/public from /var/www/redmine, the virtual host should read something like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www
Options Indexes ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
RailsBaseURI /redmine
<Directory /var/www/redmine>
Options -MultiViews
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
Eclipse Mylyn integration:
Go to $REDMINE_HOME/vendor/plugins and run
git clone git://redmin-mylyncon.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/redmin-mylyncon/redmine-mylyn-connector
(Re)start the server, and in Redmine under Administration/Plugins the Mylyn Connector Plugin should be listed
Again in Redmine, under Administration/Settings/Authentication, check the "Enable REST web service" field
In Eclipse, install the Eclipse connector via its update site
