     3Tracd is a lightweight standalone Trac web server. In most cases it's easier to setup and runs faster than the [wiki:TracCgi CGI script].
    54
    65== Pros ==
    76
    87 * Fewer dependencies: You don't need to install apache or any other web-server.
    9  * Fast: Should be as fast as the TracModPython version (much faster than the cgi).
     8 * Fast: Should be as fast as the [wiki:TracModPython mod_python] version (and much faster than the [wiki:TracCgi CGI]).
    109
    1110== Cons ==
    1211
    13  * Less features: Tracd implements a very simple web-server and is not as configurable as apache.
    14  * Only htdigest authentication: Tracd can currently only authenticate users against apache-htdigest files.
    15  * No native https support: [http://www.rickk.com/sslwrap/ sslwrap] can be used instead,
     12 * Less features: Tracd implements a very simple web-server and is not as configurable as Apache HTTPD.
     13 * No native HTTPS support: [http://www.rickk.com/sslwrap/ sslwrap] can be used instead,

    3028different projects unique. So if you use /project1/path/to and /project2/path/to, you will only see the second project.

    32 With htdigest authentication. The file /tmp/users.htdigest contain user accounts for project1 with the realm "mycompany.com".
     30== Using Authentication ==
     31
     32Tracd provides support for both Basic and Digest authentication. The default is to use Digest; to use Basic authentication, replace `--auth` with `--basic-auth` in the examples below, and omit the realm.
     33
     34If the file `/path/to/users.htdigest` contain user accounts for project1 with the realm "mycompany.com", you'd use the following command-line to start tracd:
    3335{{{
    34  $ tracd -p 8080 --auth project1,/tmp/users.htdigest,mycompany.com /path/to/project1
     36 $ tracd -p 8080 --auth project1,/path/to/users.htdigest,mycompany.com /path/to/project1
    3537}}}
    36 htdigest authentication can also be used for more than one project.
    37 The digest file can be shared:
     38''Note that the project “name” passed to the `--auth` option is actually the base name of the project environment directory.""
     39
     40Of course, the digest file can be be shared so that it is used for more than one project:
    3841{{{
    3942 $ tracd -p 8080 \
    40    --auth project1,/tmp/users.htdigest,mycompany.com \
    41    --auth project2,/tmp/users.htdigest,mycompany.com \
     43   --auth project1,/path/to/users.htdigest,mycompany.com \
     44   --auth project2,/path/to/users.htdigest,mycompany.com \
    4245   /path/to/project1 /path/to/project2

    45 == Tracd on Windows ==
     48== Generating Passwords Without Apache ==
    4649
    47 tracd also works on Windows.
    48 But on that platform, the sensitivity on multithreading issues is high,
    49 and you ''might'' have problems (i.e. crashes of the Python interpreter).
    50 If this happens, you can force tracd to operate in single-threaded mode:
