Creating a new Trac environment at /home/trac

Trac will first ask a few questions about your environment
in order to initalize and prepare the project database.

 Please enter the name of your project.
 This name will be used in page titles and descriptions.

Project Name [My Project]>

 Please specify the connection string for the database to use.
 By default, a local SQLite database is created in the environment
 directory. It is also possible to use an already existing
 PostgreSQL database (check the Trac documentation for the exact
 connection string syntax).

Database connection string [sqlite:db/trac.db]>

 Please specify the type of version control system,
 By default, it will be svn.

 If you don't want to use Trac with version control integration,
 choose the default here and don't specify a repository directory.
 in the next question.

Repository type [svn]>

 Please specify the absolute path to the version control
 repository, or leave it blank to use Trac without a repository.
 You can also set the repository location later.

Path to repository [/path/to/repos]> /home/svn

 Please enter location of Trac page templates.
 Default is the location of the site-wide templates installed with Trac.

Templates directory [/usr/share/trac/templates]>

Which Trac version?

Is /home/svn really a Subversion repository or does it contain subversion repository?

If it's really a valid repos, is it an empty one or do you have some revisions inside?

Also, check the permissions on that repository (you must be able to access it read-only).

[robi@…]

trac_0.10.3-1etch4_all.deb

/home/svn is a really a Subversion repository, it's not empty, i tried with empty and not empty

i tried with permissions both writable and read-only

[Christian Boos]

Well, trac_0.10.3-1etch4_all.deb is not supported anymore.

Your issue is most likely a duplicate of #4937, you should therefore upgrade to 0.10.4 or 0.10.5, at least (TracDownload#PreviousStableRelease?).
