+
+== Fedora Installation ==
+
+'''NOTE''':  This walkthru does '''NOT''' work properly IF you enable SELinux during the installation.  I suppose it may work properly if you disable it after installation, but I didn't try it that way.  I tried my first time around with an installation that had SELinux enabled and spent many hours trying to figure out what was going on.  I admittedly am not an expert in kernel programming nor do I know much of anything about the intricate details related to SELinux.  Therefore I have disabled the functionality altogether.  If you can get trac to function properly with SELinux enabled PLEASE let me know (jbrandenburg at yahoo.com).
+
+'''NOTE''':  The firewall should be enabled for most individuals, I have disabled it because it's inside an already firewalled area and I just didn't want to mess with multiple firewalls.  You only need to expose the webserver port and possibly ssh if you plan on doing remote administration.
+
+1. Installed as a server (Fedora lets you choose from Desktop, Workstation, Server, ..) and also added development tools
+
+ * Firewall disabled
+ * SELinux disabled
+
+== Configured yum via Dag ==
+
+* I setup yum to download the updates from dag, per the instructions in [http://projects.edgewall.com/trac/wiki/TracOnFedoraCore TracOnFedoraCore].  For the lazy..
+
+Edit the file '''/etc/yum.conf''' and add this to the end of the file.
+{{{
+[dag]
+name=Dag RPM Repository for Fedora Core
+baseurl=http://apt.sw.be/fedora/$releasever/en/$basearch/dag

+
+* Downloaded additional gpg keys that were specified at [http://www.fedorafaq.org/#gpgsig]

+yum update         # (optional)
+}}}
+
+== Trac Configuration ==
+
+=== Subversion (SVN) Configuration ===
+
+Determine where you want your subversion projects stored.  I stored it in '''/var/svn/projectname'''
+{{{
+mkdir /var/svn
+}}}
+
+* NOTE: CREATE YOUR SVN REPOSITORY OR IMPORT IT HERE..
+
+* I copied the subversion repository over to the server in '''/var/svn/projectname'''
+
+=== Add Trac Project Environment ===
+
+I ran the trac-admin script to create the trac project.
+
+Determine where you will install your trac environment files.  I opted to use '''/opt/tracdb/projectname'''
+
+{{{
+mkdir /opt/tracdb
+trac-admin /opt/tracdb/projectname initenv     # Fill out all the necessary information
+}}}
+
+
+
+=== Apache Configuration ===
+
+I edited the '''/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf''' as instructed from the notes from trac-admin and from TracInstall
+
+'''Add this to the end of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf'''
+
+{{{
+Alias /trac/ /usr/share/trac/htdocs/
+#or where you installed the trac htdocs
+#You have to allow people to read the files in htdocs
+<Directory "/usr/share/trac/htdocs">

+ AllowOverride None
+ Order allow,deny
+ Allow from all
+</Directory>
+
+
+# Trac need to know where the database is located
+<Location "/cgi-bin/trac.cgi">
+ SetEnv TRAC_ENV "/path/to/projectenv"
+</Location>

+# You need this to allow users to authenticate
+# trac.htpasswd can be created with 
+# cmd 'htpasswd -c trac.htpasswd' (UNIX)
+# do 'man htpasswd' to see all the options
+<Location "/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/login">
+ AuthType Basic
+ AuthName "trac"
+ AuthUserFile /somewhere/trac.htpasswd
+ Require valid-user

+}}}
+
+* I changed ScriptAlias from

+* CAUTION:  If you intend to use this server for hosting other websites, then you may want to reconsider this change (There are other alternatives that you can find)
+
+{{{
+ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/"
+}}}
+
+* to
+
+{{{
+ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/usr/share/trac/cgi-bin/"
+}}}
+
+* For pretty URL’s (ie using http://trac.company.com instead of http://trac.company.com/cgi-bin/trac.cgi)
+
+{{{
+RewriteEngine On
+RewriteRule ^/$ /cgi-bin/trac.cgi [R]
+}}}
+
+=== Assign file permissions ===
+
+I assigned the rights

+=== Add Users ===
+
+{{{
+cd /etc/httpd/conf
+htpasswd –b trac.htpasswd username password
+}}}
+ 
+=== Restart Apache ===
+
+{{{
+  service httpd restart
+}}}
+
+== Login to trac via your browser: ==
+
+point your browser to ![http://servername/cgi-bin/trac.cgi] 
+
+If all went well then this should be your first step into your Trac system.
