Trc Installation on Fedora Core 3
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.
- 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 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 install trac # (accept the additional files that are dependencies) 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"> Options Indexes MultiViews 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 </Location>
- 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
chown apache:apache /opt/projectname -R chown apache:apache /var/svn/projectname -R
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.
