Trac

Download Trac from http://trac.edgewall.org and XMLRPC plugin for Trac from http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/XmlRpcPlugin. Transfer them to your virtual server.

scp Trac-0.12.2.tar.gz xmlrpcplugin-r10897.zip root@10.200.242.97:/tmp

Now go to your temporary folder in the virtual server and move Trac tarball to /usr/local and extract it

cd /tmp
mv Trac-0.12.2.tar.gz /usr/local
cd /usr/local
tar zxvf Trac-0.12.2.tar.gz
cd Trac-0.12.2

Create a subversion repository for Trac

svnadmin create /services/svn/repositories/trac

Install Trac using the following commands:

python ./setup.py install
mkdir -p /services/trac/projects
trac-admin /services/trac/projects/googleadvsearch initenv
      Project Name: GoogleAdvancedSearch
      Database Connection: : sqlite:db/trac.db]
chown -R www-data.www-data /services/trac/
find /services/trac/ -type d|xargs chmod g+sw
htpasswd -cm /services/trac/projects/googleadvsearch/.htpasswd admin
trac-admin /services/trac/projects/googleadvsearch/
      Trac admin console is displayed. Type the following:
Trac [/services/trac/projects/googleadvsearch]> permission add admin TRAC_ADMIN
Trac [/services/trac/projects/googleadvsearch]> quit

Test Trac installation:

tracd --port 8000 /services/trac/projects/googleadvsearch

Open a web browser and point it to your virtual server in port 8000 (http://10.200.242.97:8000). Remember to change to your IP. You should see the following screens:

Create /etc/apache2/trac.conf file with the following content:

<Location>
    SetHandler mod_python
    PythonInterpreter main_interpreter
    PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend
    PythonOption PYTHON_EGG_CACHE /tmp/python_egg_cache
    PythonOption TracUriRoot /trac

    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "trac-googleadvsearch"
    AuthUserFile /services/trac/projects/googleadvsearch/.htpasswd
    Require valid-user
</Location>

Open /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file and add it at the end:

Include /etc/apache2/trac.conf

cd /tmp
unzip xmlrpcplugin-r10897.zip
