    6 <strong>Note from mgood:</strong> I am currently in the process of rewriting this page.  It is not currently complete, but should cover the most common topics already.  If you have more questions you may want to refer back to the previous revision of this page I have finished.

    103'''Note:''' ''This page does not provide step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring all of Trac.  Use this page as a reference for installing the Debian software packages and the locations of configuration files, but you will need to read TracInstall and the other documentation sections for complete instructions on running and configuring Trac.''
    114
    12 These instructions require the Debian Sarge release or newer.
    13 Check http://packages.debian.org/trac to see the latest available Trac version for your Debian release.
    14 Debian etch (stable) contains trac 0.10.3,
    15 Debian (lenny, to be released in 2008) will probably have 0.11.
    16 Debian sarge (oldstable) had 0.8.1, but 0.10.3 is available as backport.
     5'''Note:'''These Instructions are for ''Trac 0.11'' or better.
    176
    18 These instructions use the commandline tool `apt-get` to install the packages which you will need to run as the `root` user.  If you prefer to use a graphical tool such as `synaptic` you can search for the package names mentioned to install them.
    197
    20 == Required Packages ==
     8The '''Trac''' package is named '''trac''' and is available from the ''main'' archive.
     9This package is Team Maintained by [http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-trac Debian Trac Packaging Team].
     10
     11== Where To get info about trac in debian ==
     12
     13 * Package Information: http://packages.debian.org/trac
     14   Shows information about available versions, dependencies, file list and links to other resources.
     15
     16 * Package Tracking System: http://packages.qa.debian.org/t/trac.html
     17   Shows the summary of all info about the package, including available versions, maintainers and number of bugs (in debian and ubuntu)
     18
     19 * Bug Tracking System: http://bugs.debian.org/trac
     20   Show all bugs filled against trac and their status.
     21
     22
     23== Installing Trac ==
     24
     25To install '''trac''' just write in console:
    2126
    2227{{{
    23  apt-get install trac
     28
     29apt-get install trac
    2430}}}
    2531
    26 == Apache ==
    2732
    28 Trac can be run in [wiki:TracStandalone standalone mode], or with a web server of your choice.  [http://httpd.apache.org/ Apache] is a recommended choice and packages are available for Debian:
     33This will get you the plain '''trac''' instalation.
     34You can also install plugins that support other version control system besides Subversion:
     35Their packages are:
     36
     37 * '''trac-git'''  :: adds suport for the Git distributed version control system
    2938
    3039{{{
    31  apt-get install apache2
     40apt-get install trac-git
     41}}}
     42 
     43
     44 * '''trac-mercurial''' :: adds suport for the mecurial distributed version control system
     45
     46{{{
     47apt-get install trac-mercurial
    3248}}}
    3349
    34 In addition to installing the server itself you will need to install one of the Apache modules mentioned below to allow the Trac application to run under Apache.  Each subsection refers to the general Trac documentation for the Apache configuration necessary for that module.  On Debian it is recommended to put your Trac Apache configuration statements into a new file called "/etc/apache2/sites-available/trac".  Then use the following command to enable your Trac site:
     50
     51 * '''trac-bzr''' :: adds suport for the bzr distributed version control system
     52      (at this point trac-bzr in debian is not compatible with trac 0.11, check [http://bugs.debian.org/490193] )
    3553
    3654{{{
    37  a2ensite trac
     55apt-get install trac-bzr
    3856}}}
    3957
    40 Most people won't run trac as a separate site and prefer it as /trac/ on the primary site. To get this to work, create a file /etc/apache2/conf.d/trac.conf with the following content:
     58
     59There is also an important plugin to prevent ''spam'' on tickets, '''spamfilter'''

     66== Files Location ==
    7467
    75 More detailed Apache documentation can be found in the package `apache2-doc`.
     68'''Trac''' is installed in '''/usr/share/pyshared/trac''' and has no other place for files except '''/usr/share/doc''' and the ''tracd'' and ''trac-admin'' man-pages.
    7669
    77 For Trac versions 0.8.x mod_python is recommended.  Trac [milestone:0.9] also supports FastCGI.  CGI instructions are provided, but this is not recommended since mod_python or FastCGI will give significantly better performance.
     70== Configuring Apache Webserver ==
    7871
    79 === mod_wsgi ===
     72'''Trac''' on Debian depends on any webserver available, but it prefers Apache2.
    8073
    81 See [wiki:TracModWSGI] for further instructions.
    82 
    83 === mod_python ===
    84 
    85 {{{
    86  apt-get install libapache2-mod-python
    87  a2enmod mod_python
    88 }}}
    89 
    90 See TracModPython for further instructions.
    91 
    92 === FastCGI ===
    93 
    94 '''Note:''' ''FastCGI requires Trac [milestone:0.9] or higher.''
    95 
    96 {{{
    97  apt-get install libapache2-mod-fcgid
    98  a2enmod fcgid
    99 }}}
    100 
    101 See TracFastCgi for further instructions.
    102 
    103 === CGI ===
    104 
    105 The CGI module is included with the Apache2 packages, but you will need to ensure that the module is loaded in order to run CGI scripts:
    106 
    107 {{{
    108  a2enmod cgi
    109 }}}
    110 
    111 See TracCgi for further instructions.
    112 
    113 == SVN ==
    114 To install subversion mods for Apache, you must run nex:
    115 {{{
    116 apt-get install subversion libapache2-svn subversion-tools
    117 }}}
    118 
    119 == Suggested Packages ==
    120 
    121 TracSyntaxColoring requires `pygments` (for trac >= 0.11) or `enscript` (before) and WikiRestructuredText requires `python-docutils`:
    122 
    123 {{{
    124     apt-get install enscript python-docutils python-pygments
    125 }}}
    126 
    127 == Comments ==
    128 
    129 I have found that in Ubuntu, a2ensite trac complains about trac site being unexistent. Manu.
    130   This is because you missread (or didn't read) the text (as I did in my first install attempt :-) )

    133 
    134 
    135 
    136 Whilst trying to get Trac working on Debian Sarge with Python 2.3, I got the following error:
    137 
    138 {{{
    139 PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend: ImportError: No module named web
    140 }}}
    141 
    142 I found that I had to use this line in the Apache2 config rather than the one given:
    143 
    144 {{{
    145     # PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend
    146     PythonHandler trac.ModPythonHandler
    147 }}}
    148 
    149 {{{
    150 #!html
    151 <p style="background: #fdc; border: 2px solid #d00; font-style: italic; padding: 0 .5em; margin: 1em 0;"> This is because you installed the old/stable 0.8x version of trac, but the pythonhandler trac.web.modpython_frontend is for 0.9x which you get as unstable/testing!

    155 I always have trouble finding this page so I'll post a link here. It's relevent enough that someone could merge it in...
