trac-admin fails on new trac upgrade

[leemobile@…]

I'm trying to upgrade my trac 0.10.2 to 0.10.4.

I followed the instructions on the wiki for the upgrade.

I untarred the ball into /usr/lib/python/site-packages/trac I ran %python setup.py install Then when attempting to run trac admin: %trac-admin /home/trac upgrade

I get the following error: Command Failed: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split'

Same thing happens when I try to run initenv with trac-admin

I'm running fedora core 4.

It looks like some kind of duplicate of #3878.

What is your DB connection string?

[leemobile@…]

Inside my trac.ini file: database = ​sqlite:db/trac.db

[Emmanuel Blot]

Do you use a global trac.ini file?

Global?

When I do a locate I can only find one trac.ini file in the project environment.

You may have a global trac.ini that is used by all instances of your Trac projects.
See #3878 for a similar issue.

See TracIni#Trac0.9and0.10 for info about global ini files.

I have the same problem upgrading form 0.9.2 to 0.10.4 I only have a local trac.ini I even tried to insert a small trac.ini in /usr/share/trac/conf/ with database = ​sqlite:db/trac.db but this also did not help How can I keep my environment and still get the upgrade working?

Replying to anonymous: Solved it!

My problem was, that I untared trac in the directory usr/lib/python/site-packages/trac so that the trac-admin was probably confused by having the source files .py next to the compiled .pyc No everything works fine for me!

As far as I can see, this was not a Trac issue - but instead a setup issue that has since been resolved.

Closing.
