This is strange, because I am not on a Windows OS, so where is this default Windows path coming from??? So can't install trac

This is an installation issue, and as such should be reported to the MailingList, not filled in as a ticket.

You either have an existing (invalid?) installation with a weird siteconfig.py file, or your Python installation is corrupted.

You can verify that

$ python
>>> import sys
>>> sys.prefix

gives a valid Unix directory

and looks for a siteconfig.py file that gets in the way

Please use the MailingList for further questions on this topic

never heard that easy_install already works for 0.10 ... see also TracInstall

Replying to ThurnerRupert:

Yes, you're right, setuptools are not supported for 0.10

[asloan7@…]

python

import sys sys.prefix

Gives valid Unix directory /usr

I built the box a few days ago for the sole purpose of running Trac, nothing else is on it but Trac related things

I have this problem also. Is there a solution?

I installed python, sqlite and genshi specifically for this. If anything is wrong, them the defaults are wrong.

I also have this problem. CentOS4 with Stackless Python 2.5.1.

[ThurnerRupert]

easy_install not supported in 0.10.4, but for 0.11.

[anonymous]

The same problem here. Kubuntu 7.10, Python 2.5.1, Trac 0.10.4.

$ python
>>> import sys
>>> sys.prefix

returns correct unix path.

Trac installed uisng easy_install first and then source downloaded and installed using standard: python ./setup.py install

Sorry, this is an installation issue. Please ask on the MailingList where you will reach more people likely to help you.

If that helps anybody (since this page is the only exact hit with Google)

I edited the file /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/trac-0.10.4-py2.3.egg/trac/siteconfig.py to correct the "default" paths to be /usr/share/trac/templates and so on.

(I renamed siteconfig.pyc to siteconfig.pyc.bak, just in case)

Once the botched project folder was removed, a new trac-admin /path/to/projects initenv worked for me.

(Was on RHEL4, installed Trac using up2date)

I looked like some string replacements didn't happen during Trac installation.
