When creating your TRAC and SVN projects ("trac-admin $pathtoyourtracproject initenv"), should you be doing it in your public folder? (ie. /home/domain/public_html/trac/)

once i’ve done this I should be able access trac through http://domain/trac/ corrrect? When I try to access, i simply see a listing of folders and files in the directoy and no html.

…also is there a way i can clean out and revert back to the original config files as I am not sure if the changes I made were correct.

thanks for the help.

$mypythonsourcedir is /usr/local/src/$pythonversion for me.

To untar on unix command line, use "tar -xzvf $tarfile"

I am new to linux and have a few questions in setting up TRAC on a Linux server.

when you say: "cd $mysqlpythonsourcedir "

where do you suggest we install/unzip the tar packages? (this is for mysqlpython, clearsilver and trac?

(also, how do we unzip the tar package? do we paste it in through the ftp first, before going through terminal?)

Do you want to do some consulting work with a trac & svn migration to new hardware? I am an owner of an IT support firm in Austin, TX area and might need someone with more trav/svn expertise than I. I can probably figure it all out, but it might take longer, and I could probably learn some things by getting someone else involved…

If you have Dag repository set up, you may just do "yum install trac" and most of the tedious steps can be skipped.

The problem I was having was the following:

The Python egg cache directory is currently set to: /root/.python-eggs
Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory? You can change the cache directory by setting the PYTHON_EGG_CACHE environment variable to point to an accessible directory.

So I made a directory under /usr/lib/trac/plugins-cache with the right permissions (777) so that the Apache user can write into it.

I’ve added in my httpd.conf:

SetEnv PYTHON_EGG_CACHE /usr/lib/trac/plugin-cache

Restarted Apache and tadaaaa, it works!

I’m having the same problem as John. I get a 500 internal error.

The output of /var/log/httpd/error_log

well now I get another problem…
using

SetHandler mod_python
PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend
PythonOption TracEnv $pathtoyourtracproject
PythonOption TracUriRoot /trac/

where $pathtoyourtracproject is replaced by my path, I get an 500 internal error on my server… any clue why?
