This page documents the 1.4 (latest stable) release. Documentation for other releases can be found here.
Trac and FastCGI
They're support in the Trac trunk as of [1399] for the FastCGI interface. Like TracModPython, this allows trac to remain resident, and is faster than external CGI interfaces which must start a new process for each page view. However, unlike mod_python, it is able to support SuEXEC. Additionally, it is supported by much wider variety of webservers.
Simple Apache configuration
# Enable fastcgi for .fcgi files # if using a distro package for mod_fcgi, something like this is probably already done <IfModule mod_fastcgi.c> AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi FastCgiIpcDir /var/lib/apache2/fastcgi </IfModule> LoadModule fastcgi_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_fastcgi.so
You can either setup the TRAC_ENV as an overall default:
FastCgiConfig -initial-env TRAC_ENV=/path/to/env/trac
Or NOT VERIFIED you should be able to do it per-directory as described in TracInstall for normal CGIs.
Configure ScriptAlias or similar options as described in TracInstall, but calling cgi-bin/trac.fcgi instead of cgi-bin/trac.cgi
Simple Lighttpd Configuration
The FastCGI front-end was developed primarily for use with alternative webservers, such as lighttpd.
lighttpd a secure, fast, compliant and very flexible web-server which has been optimized for high-performance environments. It has a very low memory footprint compared to other webservers and takes care of cpu-load.
Using TracFastCgi with lighttpd requires that the patch attached to #1305 be applied. You can then add the following to your lighttpd.conf:
fastcgi.server = ("trac.fcgi" => ( "trac.fcgi" => ( "socket" => "/tmp/trac-fastcgi.socket", "bin-path" => "/path/to/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi", "bin-environment" => ("TRAC_ENV" => "/path/to/env/trac") ) ) ) alias.url = ( "/cgi-bin/" => "/path/to/cgi-bin/", "/trac/" => "/usr/share/trac/htdocs/") url.rewrite-final = ("^/trac(.*)" => "/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi$1", "^/trac/?$" => "/trac/timeline/")
Note that you will need to add a new entry to fastcgi.server for each separate Trac instance that you wish to run.
Relaunch lighttpd, and browse to http://server/trac/ to access Trac.
