    77 * Fewer dependencies: You don't need to install apache or any other web-server.
    8  * Fast: Should be as fast as the [wiki:TracModPython mod_python] version (and much faster than the [wiki:TracCgi CGI]).

     9 * Automatic reloading: For development, Tracd can be used in ''auto_reload'' mode, which will automatically restart the server whenever you make a change to the code (in Trac itself or in a plugin).

    12  * Fewer features: Tracd implements a very simple web-server and is not as configurable as Apache HTTPD.

    27 You can't have the last portion of the path identical between the projects since that's how trac keeps the URLs of the
    28 different projects unique. So if you use /project1/path/to and /project2/path/to, you will only see the second project.

    30 An alternative way to serve multiple projects is to specify
    31 a parent directory in which each subdirectory is a Trac project, using the `-e` option. The example above could be rewritten:

    69 If you have Apache available, you can use the htdigest command to generate the password file. Type 'htdigest' to get some usage instructions, or read [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/programs/htdigest.html this page] from the Apache manual to get precise instructions.  You'll be prompted for a password to enter for each user that you create.  For the name of the password file, you can use whatever you like, but if you use something like 'users.htdigest' it will remind you what the file contains.  As a suggestion, put it in your <projectname>/conf folder along with the trac.ini file.

    73 Note that you can start tracd without the --auth argument, but if you click on the 'Login' link you will get no response (and the server will print out an error message).
