Trac Install
August 2nd, 2006 posted by Bender Rodríguez
**documenting the trac project management and bug tracking application**
the install documentation can be found on the [trac wiki](http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracInstall), which is what i followed to install the software.
as there are several required packages to install Trac, and some optional but handy ones as well, i had to begin there with the following:
**ClearSilver 0.10.3**
./configure \
--with-apache=/usr \
--with-python=/usr/bin/python \
make
make install
**setuptools**
which meant downloading the [ez_setup.py](http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall) script and running it as root. no problem there.
**docutils**
retrieved the latest bleeding edge source code from the subversion repo:
svn export svn://svn.berlios.de/docutils/trunk/docutils docutils
and then installed it by executing as root: python setup.py install
**SilverCity 0.9.5**
this version is required since at the present time 0.9.6, the current release, breaks Python syntax highlighting in Trac. for installation, i followed the same procedure as i did for the above docutils: sudo python setup.py install
**Trac 0.9.6**
sudo python ./setup.py install
now to create a project environment:
trac-admin /path/to/myproject initenv
i used the default sqlite database since we do not really need much else at this point. i fired up the test httpd server and everything seemed to work fine except for login. trac died at that point (you need to use the auth flag when you fire up the light httpd server), so i thought that i should move on the integrating trac with apache via mod_python.
**mod_pyton**
i added the following to httpd.include
<Location /trac/bodhi>
SetHandler mod_python
PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend
PythonOption TracEnv /d2/trac/bodhi
PythonOption TracUriRoot /trac/bodhi
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Bodhi CMS"
AuthUserFile /fake/path/to/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
</Location>
and now we are live at:
https://staging.prkreative.com/trac/bodhi/
username: prkreative
password: paulo's new one
for some reason, the images are not working, but i'll fix that in a moment. and i can't seem to log out. no big deal really, but it kind of bugs me when things do not work flawlessly as they should.
