Trac/Apache2/mod_python/svn non working setup

[Daniel.Mitchell@…]

Hey

I installed trac a few days ago, and it seems to work fine. I was running the standalone server and it work communicating with svn, all well and good.

I decided that I wanted to get it working with apache, for this I had to uninstall apache1.3 and install apache2.0. I then installed mod_python. Everything seems to work except that now Trac won't talk to svn.

I looked over the documententation, tried eveyrthing that it suggested and i've still had no luck. So any help/guidence/direction on this would be great.

Here is also the error stack

Hm, must be the day… please search:"Unsupported version control system".

And more specifically, see TracModPython#Subversionissues and TracModPython#SettingthePythonPath.

I have spent the last 2 days searching that term, and i've re-read both of those sections you've suggested numerious times. This is the reason for my post.

Ok, then be sure to add explicitly the path containing the svn and libsvn folders (containing the Python bindings for Subversion) in your PythonPath, for example like that:

<Location /trac>
  SetHandler mod_python
  PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend
  PythonOption TracEnvParentDir /srv/trac
  PythonOption TracUriRoot /trac
  PythonPath "sys.path+['/opt/subversion-1.4.3/lib/svn-python', '/opt/trac-0.11dev/lib/python2.4/site-packages']"
  SetEnv PYTHON_EGG_CACHE /var/lib/nobody
</Location>
