Login page does not appear.

[purusothaman.a@…]

Today I downloaded Trac and tried. While attempting to goto login page, the following appeared.

Oops… Trac detected an internal error:

If you think this really should work and you can reproduce it, you should consider reporting this problem to the Trac team.

Go to ​http://trac.edgewall.org/ and create a new ticket where you describe the problem, how to reproduce it. Don't forget to include the Python traceback found below.

It looks like you have not set up the authentication. See TracCgi for more details.

This is not a bug.. you just didn't follow all the installation instructions. In the future, it is better to ask these questions on the mailing list first before filing a bug report.
