= Installing and Running Trac on Debian =

# apt-get install python2.3-subversion python2.3-sqlite 

Trac is not packaged, follow the source install



= Notes from a debian sarge install = 

Get clearsilver from http://www.clearsilver.net/
  - (tested with http://www.clearsilver.net/downloads/clearsilver-0.9.8.tar.gz)

  - tar xvfz clearsilver-0.9.8.tar.gz
  - cd clearsilver-0.9.8
  - ./configure
  - make
  - make install
  - cd python/
  - ln -s /usr/bin/python2.3 /usr/bin/python
  - make
  - make install

Everything else should be OK apart from the fact that you will have to get a subversion from unstable (don't worry, unstable for debian is like normal redhat)

  - apt-get -t unstable install subversion

This should then allow you to build and initialise trac.

When you come to running it though you'll also have to add the env_module using the following line in your /etc/apache/modules.conf

  - LoadModule env_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_env.so

I then set up a trac.conf in my /etc/apache/conf.d folder like so

<V''''''irtualHost local.trac>
    alias /trac/ "/usr/share/trac/htdocs/"
    ServerAdmin youremail@yourdomain.tld
    DocumentRoot /home/tim/myTrac
    ServerName local.trac
    ErrorLog /home/tim/myTrac/logs/error.log
    CustomLog /home/tim/myTrac/logs/access_log common
    AddHandler cgi-script cgi
    <Location "/cgi-bin/trac.cgi">
      SetEnv TRAC_DB "/home/tim/myTrac/tracdb/mydb"
      Options F''''''ollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
      A''''''llowOverride None
    </Location>
</VirtualHost>

Don't forget to create those log folders though (apachectl configtest doesn't warn you about that one)
