    77In addition to the base packages listed in TracOnWindows, here are a few additional packages (Python or external tools) that can be used to improve the functionality offered on your Trac installation:

    9 `easy_install`able packages:
     9Packages which can be installed using `easy_install`:

    28 Please note that working with MySQL is ''not'' recommended in general, as there are still a lot of rough edges. However, on Windows the main issues we have with MySQL tend to be less apparent: the default setup for recent installations is UTF8, Windows users are unlikely to have case-sensitivity pathname issues in their repositories (as Subversion won't let them create such paths in the first place), etc. So MySQL on Windows might well be a more viable solution than on Unix, for the time being (and seems to work fine for me). See the MySqlDb page for more details.

    4344First, you need to integrate [http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi mod_wsgi] in your Apache installation. There are   [http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/DownloadTheSoftware#Windows_Binary_Downloads pre-compiled binaries] available for download. Choose the right one depending on the version of Apache and Python you're running. Then follow the [http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/InstallationOnWindows installation instructions] for this module, and the [[TracModWSGI]] installations instructions. The resulting configuration (from the words of the `mod_wsgi` author) is supposed to be more efficient than one using `mod_python`.
    4445
    45 Adjustments to the paths included in the `.wsgi` script must also be made. The Trac Environment must point to the same path as was specified with `Trac-admin path/to/env initenv`.

    72 Then, check the regular TracModPython instructions to see how you have to modify your http.conf.

    76 Running Trac in Apache, you can let your users login with their existing Windows username/password by using `mod_sspi`. (If you use Subversion as a repository and access it through Apache, you can also do the same with Subversion). Download this module [http://sourceforge.net/projects/mod-auth-sspi here], place it in the Apache modules directory, and add the following line to your `httpd.conf`, with all the `LoadModule` instructions:

    95 Then, if you change permissions in Trac using `trac-admin.exe`, remember to declare the user `bob` as `MyLocalDomain\bob` (The same remark applies for your Subversion repository accessfile). Alternatively add the parameter `SSPIOmitDomain On` and declare the user as `bob`.
