More verbose instructions for Debian Woody

TracOnDebian

 '''Note:''' While installing Trac on Debian Woody you might get some harmless warnings when the installation process byte-compiles some source files.
 
+'''More notes for Trac 0.8 on Debian Woody:''' 
+
+Notice, this is what worked for me on a '''new''' Woody system I built just to host Trac (in a VMware image, yet!), so I was able to be a little free with modifications I made. Be more careful if you are adding Trac to a system you use for other tasks - don't blame me if these instructions break something! 
+
+These instructions ignore the above and start at the very beginning.
+
+ * Subversion really wants Apache2 installed. If you run {{{apache2 -v}}} and get an error, you'll need to install Apache2.
+  I removed apache 1.3 and installed Apache2 with the following:  
+{{{
+apt-get install apache2-common apache2-doc apache2-mpm-worker libapache2-svn
+  apt-get remove apache
+  apache2 -k start
+}}}
+ * Trac 0.8 runs better with Python 2.2 and python-xml (without them, diffs and attachment uploading may not work):
+{{{
+apt-get install python 2.2 python-xml
+cd /usr/bin
+mv python python.orig
+ln -s python2.2 python
+cp -R /usr/lib/python2.1/site-packages /usr/lib/python2.2
+apache2 -k restart
+}}}
+ * After completing these pre-requisites, I added the following to /etc/apt/sources.list
+{{{
+deb http://ftp.edgewall.com/pub/debian woody trac
+deb http://people.debian.org/~adconrad woody subversion
+}}}
+   and ran 
+{{{
+apt-get install trac 
+}}}
+ * Getting Subversion working:
+
+   I decided to keep my Subversion project at /var/svn/project. Here are the commands I entered to get SVN up and running:
+{{{
+mkdir /var/svn
+mkdir /var/svn/project
+mkdir /tmp/project
+mkdir /tmp/project/branches
+mkdir /tmp/project/tags
+mkdir /tmp/project/trunk
+svnadmin create /var/svn/project
+rm -rf /tmp/project
+svn import /tmp/project file:///var/svn/project -m "initial import"
+}}}
+   I added the following to /etc/apache2/sites-available/default:
+{{{
+  #SVN dir
+  <Location /svn>
+    DAV svn
+    SVNParentPath /var/svn
+  </Location>
+}}}
+   Then I fixed permissions and restarted apache2:
+{{{
+chown /var/svn/nim www-data
+chown -R /var/svn/nim/* www-data
+apache2 -k restart
+}}}
+   I was able to test by going to !http://servername.foo.com/svn/project where I could see the empty directories as imported. I did not move on to the next step until this worked right!
+
+ * Getting Trac running:
+  
+   I put my trac environment at /var/trac/project. I'm not using the mod_python extentions at the moment. First I ran
+{{{
+trac-admin /var/trac/project initenv  (will prompt you for several things and print lots of output)
+}}}
+   Then I edited /etc/apache2/sites-available/default. I commented out the existing {{{ScriptAlias}}} and  {{{<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">}}} directives, and added this at the end:
+{{{
+  Alias /trac "/usr/share/trac/htdocs"
+  ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/share/trac/cgi-bin/
+  <Location "/cgi-bin/trac.cgi">
+            SetEnv TRAC_ENV "/var/trac/project"
+  </Location>
+  
+  <Directory "/usr/share/trac/htdocs">
+    Options Indexes MultiViews
+    AllowOverride None
+    Order allow,deny
+    Allow from all
+  </Directory>
+  
+  # You need something like this to authenticate users
+  <Location "/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/login">
+  AuthType Basic
+  AuthName "project"
+  AuthUserFile /var/www/trac.htpasswd
+  Require valid-user
+  </Location>
+}}}
+  Now to fix the permissions, add a couple of users, and restart Apache:
+{{{
+cd /var/www
+htpasswd -c trac.htpasswd user1     (you'll be prompted for the password)
+htpasswd trac.htpasswd bar user2    (you'll be prompted for the password)
+apache2 -k restart
+}}}
+  Finally, test by going to !http://servername.foo.com/cgi-bin/trac.cgi
+
+  On my installation, I do get some errors ("Python C API version mismatch for module ''blah''") when I run trac-admin at the commandline. This is probably because I didn't upgarde to Python2.2 until ''after'' I installed Trac. Hopefully these errors will be avoided by upgradng Python first, but in any case they don't seem to hurt Trac at all. Everything works perfectly! ''bryan@lockwoods.us''
