Installing Trac 0.8.4 on Red Hat Linux 9 (Specific User's Home Directory)

1. Packages Needed & Preparation

The following are the packages needed to install Trac 0.8.4 successfuly:
a. clearsilver-0.9.3.tar.gz
b. httpd-2.0.52.tar.bz2
c. pysqlite-1.0.1.tar.gz
d. Python-2.3.5.tar.bz2
e. SilverCity-0.9.5.tar.gz
f. sqlite-2.8.16.tar.gz
g. subversion-1.1.0.tar.gz
h. swig-1.3.21.tar.gz
i. trac-0.8.4.tar.gz
j. tcl8.3.5-src.tar.gz

Notes: You need Python-2.3.5 because the version in Red Hat Linux 9 is Python-2.2.2-26
After obtaining the packages, put all the packages in /home/trac/RH9 directory
(You need to create RH9 directory yourself and you must be root to perform the whole installation process)

Difference: The difference of this installation compared to the original version is that installation
were made on a user's home directory. Reasons I do this is because:
i. /usr/local is lack of space
ii. Testing the flexibility of the installation of the sources I collected  if installed on other locationbs other than /usr/local

You must add the following line to the "/etc/ld.so.conf" file:
/home/trac/apache2/lib
/home/trac/lib

Creating a new Trac environment at /home/trac/trac_fs/trac_project

Trac will first ask a few questions about your environment
in order to initalize and prepare the project database.

 Please enter the name of your project.
 This name will be used in page titles and descriptions.

Project Name [My Project]> Alltrix

 Please specify the absolute path to the project Subversion repository.
 Repository must be local, and trac-admin requires read+write
 permission to initialize the Trac database.

Path to repository [/var/svn/test]> /home/trac/trac_fs

 Please enter location of Trac page templates.
 Default is the location of the site-wide templates installed with Trac.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Project database for 'Alltrix' created.

 Customize settings for your project using the command:

   trac-admin /home/trac/trac_fs/adms

 Don't forget, you also need to copy (or symlink) "trac/cgi-bin/trac.cgi"
 to you web server's /cgi-bin/ directory, and then configure the server.

 If you're using Apache, this config example snippet might be helpful:

    Alias /trac "/wherever/you/installed/trac/htdocs/"
    <Location "/cgi-bin/trac.cgi">
        SetEnv TRAC_ENV "/home/trac/trac_fs/adms"
    </Location>

    # You need something like this to authenticate users
    <Location "/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/login">
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "Alltrix"
        AuthUserFile /somewhere/trac.htpasswd
        Require valid-user
    </Location>

 The latest documentation can also always be found on the project website:
 http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/

Congratulations!

13. Configuring Httpd

a. Add the following section into your "/home/trac/apache2/conf/httpd.conf" file: Alias /trac "/home/trac/share/trac/htdocs/"

<Location "/cgi-bin/trac.cgi">
  SetEnv TRAC_ENV "/home/trac/trac_fs/trac_project"
</Location>

# You need something like this to authenticate users
<Location "/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/login">
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Alltrix"
  AuthUserFile /home/trac/trac.htpasswd
  Require valid-user
</Location>

b. Create the "trac.htpasswd" file:

  cd /home/trac;/home/trac/apache2/bin/htpasswd -c trac.htpasswd admin

  (You can add more users by using: cd /home/trac/;/home/trac/apache2/bin/htpasswd -c trac.htpasswd username)

c. Change the privilege of the "trac_project_env" so httpd can perform r/w on trac.db:

   chmod -Rv a+rw /home/trac/trac_fs


d. Copy "trac.cgi" file to "/home/trac/apache2/cgi-bin" directory:

   cd /home/trac/apache2/cgi-bin;cp /home/trac/share/trac/cgi-bin/trac.cgi .

14. Congratulations :)

a. Run your httpd server as root:

   /home/trac/apache2/bin/httpd

b. Open your web browser and type the following address:
   your-ip-address/cgi-bin/trac.cgi

Please mail me if you need additional environments to compile and install on: dragoncity99@…

I would like to updated my "Original How-To in Plain Text" as well.
