Installing Trac on OpenBSD

Taken from TracOnRedhat with a few modifications.

---

Required Software

• Python-2.3.5.tgz
• pysqlite-1.0.1.tar.gz
• clearsilver-0.10.1.tar.gz
• sqlite-2.8.16.tar.gz
• db-4.4.16.tar.gz
• SilverCity-0.9.5.tar.gz

• httpd-2.0.55.tar.gz
• apr-1.2.2.tar.gz
• swig-1.3.27.tar.gz
• apr-util-1.2.2.tar.gz
• neon-0.25.4.tar.gz
• trac-0.9.tar.gz

Make sure you have the latest libtool15 and autoconf259 (Install from ports)

Install APR

$ tar -xvzf apr-1.2.2.tar.gz 
$ cd apr-1.2.2 
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apr 
$ make 
$ su root -c 'make install' 

Install sleepycat database

$ tar -xvzf db-4.4.16.tar.gz 
$ cd db-4.4.16/build_unix 
$ ../dist/configure 
$ make 
$ su root -c 'make install' 

Install APR utilities

$ tar -xvzf apr-util-1.2.2.tar.gz 
$ cd apr-util-1.2.2 
$ export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4/include" 
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4/lib" 
$ ./configure --with-apr=/usr/local/apr --with-berkeley-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.4 
$ make 
$ su root -c 'make install' 

Install libxml

$ cd /usr/ports/textproc/libxml 
$ make install 

Install Python 2.3.5

$ pkg_add ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.8/packages/i386/python-2.3.5p2.tgz 

Install gmake-3.8

$ pkg_add ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.8/packages/i386/gmake-3.80p1.tgz 

Install Neon

$ tar -xvzf neon-0.25.4.tar.gz 
$ mv neon-0.25.4 neon 
$ cd neon 
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/neon --with-ssl 
$ make 
$ su root -c 'make install' 

Install Apache 2

$ tar -xvzf httpd-2.0.55.tar.gz 
$ cd httpd-2.0.55 
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --enable-dav --enable-dav-fs 
$ make 
$ su root -c 'make install' 

Install SWIG

$ tar -xvzf swig-1.3.27.tar.gz 
$ cd swig-1.3.27 
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/swig --with-python=/usr/local/bin/python 
$ make 
$ su root -c 'make install' 

(note: Had problems with subversion not detecting neon in /usr/local/neon, had to take out the option —with-neon=/usr/local/neon in the configure, it then detected neon 0.24.7, presumably the neon folder inside the subversion folder once untarred.)

Install Subversion

$ tar -xvzf subversion-1.2.3.tar.gz 
$ cd subversion-1.2.3 
$ ./configure --disable-mod-activation --with-zlib \
    --enable-swig-bindings=python --with-apr=/usr/local/apr/bin/apr-1-config \
    --with-apr-util=/usr/local/apr/bin/apu-1-config --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs \
    --with-swig=/usr/local/swig --with-httpd=../httpd-2.0.55 
$ gmake 
$ su root -c 'gmake install' 

Fix apr.h

Make the following change to /usr/local/apr/include/apr-1/apr.h.

/usr/local/apr/include/apr-1/apr.h

Create symbolic link for libsvn library to the Python 2.3 library

$ cd /usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages 
$ ln -s /usr/local/lib/svn-python svn-python 
$ ln -s /usr/local/lib/svn-python/svn svn 
$ ln -s /usr/local/lib/svn-python/libsvn libsvn 

Create the Subversion repository

$ svnadmin create --fs-type=fsfs /var/svn 

Create the Trac project environment

$ trac-admin /var/trac initenv 
Creating a new Trac environment at /var/trac 

Trac will first ask a few questions about your environment 
in order to initalize and prepare the project database. 

 Please enter the name of your project. 
 This name will be used in page titles and descriptions. 

Project Name [My Project]> (Your project name)

 Please specify the absolute path to the project Subversion repository. 
 Repository must be local, and trac-admin requires read+write 
 permission to initialize the Trac database. 

Path to repository [/var/svn/test]> /var/svn 

 Please enter location of Trac page templates. 
 Default is the location of the site-wide templates installed with Trac. 

Templates directory [/usr/local/share/trac/templates]> (Just press enter here)
Creating and Initializing Project 
(Output removed)
Don't forget, you also need to copy (or symlink) "trac/cgi-bin/trac.cgi" 
to you web server's /cgi-bin/ directory, and then configure the server. 
cp /usr/local/share/trac/cgi-bin/trac.cgi /usr/local/apache2/cgi-bin 

If you're using Apache, this config example snippet might be helpful: 

    Alias /trac "/usr/local/share/trac/htdocs/" 
    <Location "/cgi-bin/trac.cgi"> 
        SetEnv TRAC_ENV "/var/trac" 
    </Location> 
    
$ chmod -R a+rw /var/svn/repo
