Description (last modified by )
After upgrading to trac 0.12 and trying to use explicit synchronization I have realised that the trac-admin tool only works when run using sudo. This is an issue when trying to use explicit sync using svn hooks as the svn hook scripts are run as the apache user.
I have tried removing trac 0.12 installation files(trac-admin files and .egg) and reinstalling using easy_install but it hasn't made a difference.
Couldn't find a similar issue.

Of course, the user running trac-admin
must have write permission to the whole environment. In the standard configuration (both SVN and Trac served via HTTP by Apache), this is usually the case, as the apache
user has write access to both the SVN repository and the Trac environment. But if you access the repository e.g. through svn+ssh
, you will have to set up sudo
.
But in your case, you say that the apache
user doesn't have write access to the Trac environment? I thought mod_python
would run under the web server's user, isn't that the case?
This is pretty much an InstallationIssue, but we should add a note about su
TracRepositoryAdmin. I'll do that.
Further example run as sudo
run as user
