Trac on Windows (discussion)

Note: this page was initially containing the rewritten instructions for installing Trac on Windows. The rewritten instructions can now be found in the TracOnWindows page itself. The old content of that page, which was specific to Trac 0.9 is now located in Trac0.9/TracOnWindows.

Suggestions / Discussion / Ideas …

• Hopefully this 0.10 rewrite can include upgrade instructions for 0.9.6 users. That would be immensely comforting. Thanks for your excellent work…
• Clarification added for subversion install (figured out on own - then saw a helpful post). May add some notes here about the Trac Admin setup as well. Of course if my editing isn't seen as a clarification - you can and will reverse it.
• Can someone add simple instructions for wrapping tracd communications over SSL? If this is possible on Windows, that would totally rock.
• Don't know if this is even feasible, but it would be nice to describe a way to run Trac as a service in a Windows environment. Such a pain to close the DOS window by mistake and then not understand why Trac doesn't work anymore ;)

Would you like to use Trac with a Subversion repository

Notes

I added a section on authentication using tracd… someone was asking me about this so I thought I would contribute it here. - revamped- 2008-05-31 ​Installing Trac on Windows
