= Prettier URLs for Trac =

If you would like the url to be like:

http://<yourhostname>/

or (maybe with a subdomain):

http://<subdomain>.<yourhostname>/

this is one way, using mod_rewrite (in Apache):

load the module mod_rewrite, then, place this in your apache config:
(if you have subdomain, inside a !VirtualHost)

{{{
RewriteEngine On
<Location "/cgi-bin/trac.cgi">
  SetEnv TRAC_ENV "/path/to/trac/env"
</Location>

ServerName <hostname>
Alias /trac "/usr/share/trac/htdocs"

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /path/to/cgi-bin
RewriteRule ^/$ /cgi-bin/trac.cgi [R]
}}}

Or using !ScriptAliasMatch you can redirect all request coming to / without rewriting the URL to the user:

{{{
SetEnv TRAC_ENV "/var/to/trac"

ScriptAliasMatch ^/(.*) /path/to/trac.cgi/$1
}}}

'''Also Note:''' Another simple way to do this is to put a redirect in {{{/usr/share/trac/htdocs}}}, such as:

{{{<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=http://<yourhostname>/cgi-bin/trac.cgi">}}}
