= Installing and Running Trac on Debian = == Notes from a debian sarge install == As has been previously pointed out, a Debian package does not exist, hence you need to build it yourself. This isn't ''too'' onerous if you know where you might get bitten. Hopefully the following should be of some use. First you need the SQLite, Subversion and the related python modules. Note that you need to use the version of subversion from unstable. Don't worry as Debians unstable is not really unstable, it's about as stable as typical redhat packages. You might want to use apt-pinning (basically stopping unstable dependancies from getting installed all over the place). Create or edit /etc/apt/preferences and insert {{{ Package: * Pin: release a=testing Pin-Priority: 650 Package: * Pin: release a=unstable Pin-Priority: 600 }}} {{{ apt-get install sqlite python2.3-subversion python2.3-sqlite apt-get -t unstable install subversion }}} Clearsilver isn't available as a package so get clearsilver from http://www.clearsilver.net/ (tested [http://www.clearsilver.net/downloads/clearsilver-0.9.8.tar.gz 0.9.8]) {{{ 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 }}} 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 {{{ 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 SetEnv TRAC_DB "/home/tim/myTrac/tracdb/mydb" Options FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI AllowOverride None }}} Don't forget to create those log folders though (apachectl configtest doesn't warn you about that one)
