= Trac on Ubuntu =

These instructions were tested with a fresh install of 8.04, and installs Trac 0.11.

Also see TracInstallPlatforms, TracInstall, TracOnUbuntu, [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTracHowto Ubuntu-Trac], [wiki:0.11/TracOnUbuntuHardy hardy, cgi].

=== Installation ===

=== 1. Install Software Packages ===



To install Trac on your system, install apache, setuptools and some libraries:

{{{
sudo apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-python libapache2-svn python-setuptools subversion python-subversion
sudo easy_install Trac
}}}

=== 2. Create the Trac Environments Directory ===

You'll need a directory for Trac's environments to live that should be writable by the default Apache user:

{{{
sudo mkdir /var/lib/trac
sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/lib/trac
}}}

=== 3. Setup Apache2 ===

Next, create a new Apache-2 virtualhost, and paste the text below into the file:
{{{
sudo vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/trac
}}}

{{{
<VirtualHost *>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        ServerName trac.example.com
        DocumentRoot /var/www
        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.trac.log
        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.trac.log combined

        <Location /projects>
                SetHandler mod_python
                PythonInterpreter main_interpreter
                PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend
                PythonOption TracEnvParentDir /var/lib/trac
                PythonOption TracUriRoot /projects
                SetEnv PYTHON_EGG_CACHE /tmp
        </Location>

        # use the following for one authorization for all projects (names containing "-" are not detected):
        <LocationMatch "/projects/[[:alnum:]]+/login">
            AuthType Basic
            AuthName "trac"
            AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd
            Require valid-user
        </LocationMatch>

</VirtualHost>
}}}

Now, disable the default virtualhost, enable the Trac virtualhost, and restart Apache2:

{{{
sudo a2dissite default
sudo a2ensite trac
sudo  /etc/init.d/apache2 reload 
}}}


=== 4. Creating Environments ===

I installed my Subversion repository at {{{/var/lib/svn/YourProjectNameHere}}}. So I did a quick starting config of subversion with the following commands:
{{{
sudo mkdir /var/lib/svn
sudo svnadmin create /var/lib/svn/YourProjectNameHere
}}}

Some permissions changes and an apache restart are now needed:
{{{
sudo chown -R www-data /var/lib/svn
sudo chown -R www-data /usr/share/trac
sudo apache2 -k restart
}}}

I put my trac environment at {{{/var/lib/trac/YourProjectNameHere}}}. Of course you could use any other path or name - something a little more descriptive of ''your'' project would probably be a good idea. First I ran these commands:
{{{
sudo mkdir /var/lib/trac
sudo trac-admin /var/lib/trac/YourProjectNameHere initenv
sudo chown -R www-data /var/lib/trac
}}}
The "trac-admin" command shown above prompted me to enter:

 * the project name ({{{YourProjectNameHere}}})
 * the path to svn repository ({{{/var/lib/svn/YourProjectNameHere}}})

... then it prints out a bunch of stuff. If there are no errors you should now be able to surf to your Trac site at '''!http://servername/projects'''

== make subversion running as well ==
You will also need to uncomment the settings in {{{/etc/apache2/mods-available/dav_svn.conf}}}

{{{  
<Location /svn>
    # Uncomment this to enable the repository,
    DAV svn

    # Set this to the path to your repository
    SVNParentPath /var/lib/svn
</Location>
}}}


== add some plugins to have a usable system ==
{{{
sudo apt-get install build-essential graphviz
sudo easy_install http://svn.edgewall.org/repos/genshi/trunk/
sudo easy_install http://trac-hacks.org/svn/accountmanagerplugin/trunk
sudo easy_install http://trac-hacks.org/svn/customfieldadminplugin/0.11
sudo easy_install http://trac-hacks.org/svn/eclipsetracplugin/tracrpcext/0.10
sudo easy_install http://trac-hacks.org/svn/iniadminplugin/0.11
sudo easy_install http://trac-hacks.org/svn/masterticketsplugin/0.11

== what one should probably do different than described here ==
{{{
sudo chown www-data /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd 
}}}
