= 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 [wiki:TracAdmin 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):
{{{
SetEnv TRAC_ENV /srv/trac/foobar
SetHandler mod_python
PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend
PythonOption TracEnv /srv/trac/foobar
AuthType Basic
AuthName "alexandria"
AuthUserFile /opt/trac/trac.htpasswd
Require valid-user
}}}
The example above assumes you have a trac project environment setup in ''/srv/trac/foobar/'' directory, described in step 2 and an htpasswd file at /opt/trac/trac.htpasswd for authentication purposes (see also wiki:TracModPython (too generic)).
You will need to tell Apache to reload configuration after editing trac.conf:
{{{
$ sudo service httpd reload
}}}
Verify your Trac installation by pointing your browser at the correct URL for your Trac server (e.g. localhost/?????).
Notes on the Fedora Extras Trac package:
* trac.cgi and trac.fcgi are installed in /var/www/cgi-bin/ (actually, /usr/share/trac/cgi-bin for FC5).
* 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].
Be sure to check out the generic installation instructions in the [wiki:TracGuide TracGuide]
== SELinux ==
Fedora Core 5 ships with SELinux enabled by default. You need to make the Trac and Subversion directory accessible to the webserver. See [http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-apache-fc3/] for details.
