Hi
I need to install Redmine on shared linux hosting with cPanel. This application is based on ruby on rails.
I've completed the following steps:
1. Uploading the latest build of redmine to the server to Public_html folder.
2. Extract the file.
3. Create MySQL database using PHP MyAdmin.
4. Edit the Public_html/redmine/config
5. Installed the gems required for this application using cPanel.
In their installation instructions, the next step is to run a command "rake:migrate" in the application directory using ssh terminal. This command is used to populate the databases with the table structure and sample data that comes with the application.
I'm unable to run this command as I don't have SSH access.
Is there any other alternative to populate the database using cPanel? I'd read somewhere that the database can be populated using the MySQL Schema for the application, but couldn't find that schema anywhere.
Any help would be appreciated.

No I cannot run shell command via cPanel.
Also, we've all windows platforms which are available locally, so there is no linux based system which is availble to setup Redmine locally.
There are Bitnami stacks available which are standalone packages and have cross platform support. I've tried the Redmine Bitnami stack on Windows Machine, but PHP MyAdmin is not available and I couldn't figure out how to take a mysql dump.

Can you run a shell command via the cPanel?
cd /home/path/to/app/ && rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
Alternatively, you could set up redmine with mysql locally and run the migrations, then do a SQL dump, upload and restore.
