TRAC-ADMIN error when used in svn post-commit hook

[dmcr@…]

Using the new multi-repository configuration available in 0.12, I am able to get the trac-admin command to do the right thing when I issue the "changeset added" subcommand from the command line. However, when I put the same command into my subversion post-commit hook, I get: 'TracError: Unsupported database type "mysql"'.

trac-admin does not successfully execute. I am using mysql for my Trac databases, and have had no problems using mysql with about 12 different Trac projects.

The "solution" I found to this problem was to unzip the MySQL_python-1.2.2-py2.5-linux-i686.egg. Once I did that, trac-admin worked both in and out of a post-commit hook.

I am using: apache 2.2.4 mod_python 3.3.1 python 2.5 MySQL_python 1.2.2 mysql Ver 14.7 Distrib 4.1.22

Thought I'd pass this on in case it helps someone else.

You may have to set PYTHON_EGG_CACHE to the same value used in the web server before calling trac-admin.

Thanks! That did the trick. :-)

I have since found a reference to that advice at ​http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracPlugins.

But if you could also add that advice to ​http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracRepositoryAdmin#ExplicitSync, that might save someone else many hours of flailing around.

Thanks again.

Please, be our guest, this is a Wiki and contributions to the documentation are always welcome ;-)

Done.

Closing ticket.
