Trac on Fedora Core
Installing Trac On Fedora Core 4 (and higher) is easy with Yum and involves only 3 steps:
1) Verify you have configured Yum to use the Extras repository (which is enabled by default in Fedora Core 4 and higher) and run the following command in a terminal window:
$ sudo yum install trac
Yum will take care of all dependencies on which the Trac package depends (including the python-clearsilver package) and will fetch and install them for you automatically.
2) Create a new project environment. An environment is basically a directory that contains a human-readable configuration file and various other files and directories.
Create a subverion repository if you don't already have one, for example in /srv/svn:
$ sudo mkdir -p /srv/svn $ sudo svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs /srv/svn
Next you need to decide where to store your trac project and create the directory, for example in the new directory /srv/trac:
$ sudo mkdir -p /srv/trac
Then create a new environment using trac-admin, as in this example for project foobar
$ sudo trac-admin /srv/trac/foobar initenv
Now make it owned by apache:
$ sudo chown -R apache /srv/trac $ sudo chown -R apache /srv/svn
3) Next, you need to edit the file /etc/httpd/conf.d/trac.conf to point to your new project environment, as in this example (using mod_python):
<Location /foobar> SetHandler mod_python PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend PythonOption TracEnv /srv/trac/foobar PythonOption TracUriRoot /foobar </Location> <Location "/foobar/login"> AuthType Basic AuthName "alexandria" AuthUserFile /opt/trac/trac.htpasswd Require valid-user </Location>
The example above assumes you have a trac project environment setup in /srv/trac/foobar/ directory, described in step 2 and a htpasswd file in /opt/trac/trac.htpasswd for authentication purposes (see also wiki:TracModPython).
You will need to restart apache after editing trac.conf:
$ sudo service httpd restart
Verify your Trac installation by pointing your browser at the correct URL for your Trac server.
Notes on the Fedora Extras Trac package:
- trac.cgi and trac.fcgi are installed in /var/www/cgi-bin/
- apache webserver config file is installed in /etc/httpd/conf.d/trac.conf
If you happen to come across any packaging issues, feature requests or problems on Fedora, you can submit a bugzilla bug for the Trac package at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/easy_enter_bug.cgi.
