tracd standalone doesn't support auth files beginning with .

Tracd standalone server won't startup if auth file begins with a '.'

Please provide the command line you're executing to start tracd and the error you're seeing. Testing on 0.10 it works fine. This may not be related to the filename, so please provide whatever information you can to debug this.

Turns out I was wrong… The problem seems to be with trailing newlines in the htdigest file. Appending an additional newline to the end of htdigest produces the following on 0.9.6:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/tracd", line 102, in ?
    main()
  File "/usr/local/bin/tracd", line 66, in main
    add_auth(auths, a, DigestAuth)
  File "/usr/local/bin/tracd", line 47, in add_auth
    auths[p] = cls(h, r)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/trac/web/standalone.py", line 117, in __init__
    self.load_htdigest(htdigest, realm)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/trac/web/standalone.py", line 126, in load_htdigest
    u, r, a1 = line.strip().split(':')
ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack

Fixed in r3792.
