Ticket #5291 – Description
initial v1 1 Some background information:[[BR]] 2 [[BR]] 3 *Running TRAC on Windows based workstation[[BR]] 4 *Running 'tracd' standalone web based server[[BR]] 5 *'tracd.py' file exists in 'C:\Python24\Scripts\'[[BR]] 6 *trac environment exists in 'C:\Python24\Scripts\trac\occam\'[[BR]] 7 [[BR]] 8 [[BR]] 9 I normally do the following to get 'tracd' running...[[BR]] 10 [[BR]] 11 1. open up command prompt and '''cd c:\Python24\Scripts'''[[BR]] 12 2. run the following command '''tracd.py --port 8080 --basic-auth *,/Python24/scripts/trac/occam/htpasswd,trac c:/Python24/scripts/trac/occam"'''[[BR]] 1 Some background information: 13 2 14 This all works fine... except tonight I ran performed step ONE but the command I run in Step TWO was slightly different.... I included the FULL file path... Here is the command I ran (keeping in mind I was already inside the folder 'C:\Python24\Scripts\'[[BR]] 15 [[BR]] 3 * Running TRAC on Windows based workstation 4 * Running 'tracd' standalone web based server 5 * 'tracd.py' file exists in 'C:\Python24\Scripts\' 6 * trac environment exists in 'C:\Python24\Scripts\trac\occam\' 7 8 I normally do the following to get 'tracd' running... 9 1. open up command prompt and '''cd c:\Python24\Scripts''' 10 1. run the following command '''tracd.py --port 8080 --basic-auth *,/Python24/scripts/trac/occam/htpasswd,trac c:/Python24/scripts/trac/occam"''' 11 12 This all works fine... except tonight I ran performed step ONE but the command I run in Step TWO was slightly different....

However the command failed. when i tried to rerun the command CORRECTLY without the unnecessary file path tracd failed to run. [[BR]]20 [[BR]] 21 On closer inspection i discovered that the tracd script file was completely empty. There was no text inside it at all and had a file length of 0 bytes. I redownloaded the tracd script file from the subversion repository and then it worked again... this is reproducible on my workstation and I tried this a number of times to confirm this was what was happening.

Either way perhaps it should be documented (if it isn't already) or maybe it is a bug.... in each case I would like to know why this happened to my installation 24 22
