Overview <\/strong><\/p>\n

Installing trac on a server with Apache and mod_python<\/p>\n

Requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tested with the below ,<\/p>\n

Apache 2.2
\nMysql 5.0<\/p>\n

Objective<\/strong><\/p>\n

Installing trac and apache module mod_python for a project system on a domain subdirectory<\/p>\n

Configuration<\/strong><\/p>\n

Step 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Make sure that you have the required version of python , flew, setuptools and mysql-python installed.<\/strong>
\nThis installation was done on a DirectAdmin server and it had python version as Python 2.4.3, so had to install a secondary python of version 2.5 on a different location<\/p>\n

To install python 2.5<\/p>\n

root@serv:~# <\/span> cd \/usr\/local\/src <\/strong>
\nroot@serv:~# <\/span> mkdir -p \/usr\/local\/TRAC\/PYTHON\/ <\/strong>
\nroot@serv:~# <\/span> wget http:\/\/www.python.org\/ftp\/python\/2.5\/Python-2.5.tgz <\/strong>
\nroot@serv:~# <\/span> tar -zxvf Python-2.5.tgz <\/strong>
\nroot@serv:~# <\/span> cd Python-2.5 <\/strong>
\nroot@serv:~# <\/span> .\/configure –enable-shared –prefix=\/usr\/local\/TRAC\/PYTHON\/ <\/strong>
\nroot@serv:~# <\/span> make <\/strong>
\nroot@serv:~# <\/span> make install <\/strong><\/p>\n

To install flex 2.5<\/p>\n

root@serv:~# <\/span> cd \/usr\/local\/src <\/strong>
\nroot@serv:~# <\/span> wget http:\/\/sourceforge.net\/projects\/flex\/files\/flex\/flex-2.5.35\/flex-2.5.35.tar.gz\/download?use_mirror=biznetnetworks <\/strong>
\nroot@serv:~# <\/span> tar -zxvf flex-2.5.35.tar.gz <\/strong>
\nroot@serv:~# <\/span> cd flex-2.5.35 <\/strong>
\nroot@serv:~# <\/span> .\/configure <\/strong>
\nroot@serv:~# <\/span> make <\/strong>
\nroot@serv:~# <\/span> make install <\/strong><\/p>\n

To install setup tools<\/p>\n

root@serv:~# <\/span> cd \/usr\/local\/src <\/strong>
\nroot@serv:~# <\/span> wget http:\/\/peak.telecommunity.com\/dist\/ez_setup.py <\/strong>
\nroot@serv:~# <\/span> \/usr\/local\/TRAC\/PYTHON\/bin\/python ez_setup.py <\/strong><\/p>\n

To install mysql-python<\/p>\n

root@serv:~# <\/span> cd \/usr\/local\/src <\/strong>
\nroot@serv:~# <\/span> wget http:\/\/sourceforge.net\/projects\/mysql-python\/files\/mysql-python\/1.2.3\/MySQL-python-1.2.3.tar.gz\/download?use_mirror=biznetnetworks <\/strong>
\nroot@serv:~# <\/span> tar -zxvf MySQL-python-1.2.3.tar.gz <\/strong>
\nroot@serv:~# <\/span> cd MySQL-python-1.2.3 <\/strong>
\nroot@serv:~# <\/span> \/usr\/local\/TRAC\/PYTHON\/bin\/python .\/setup.py install <\/strong><\/p>\n

Step 2 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Linking the libraries <\/strong>
\nAs you have installed the python to a custom location you have to link the libraries so as properly compile the mod_python<\/p>\n

root@serv:~# <\/span> echo “\/usr\/local\/TRAC\/PYTHON\/lib\/” > \/etc\/ld.so.conf.d\/python2.5.conf <\/strong>
\nroot@serv:~# <\/span> ldconfig -v <\/strong><\/p>\n

Step 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Installing trac<\/p>\n

root@serv:~# <\/span> cd \/usr\/local\/src <\/strong>
\nroot@serv:~# <\/span> wget http:\/\/ftp.edgewall.com\/pub\/trac\/Trac-0.12.1.tar.gz <\/strong>
\nroot@serv:~# <\/span> tar -zxvf Trac-0.12.1.tar.gz <\/strong>
\nroot@serv:~# <\/span> cd Trac-0.12.1\/ <\/strong>
\nroot@serv:~# <\/span> \/usr\/local\/TRAC\/PYTHON\/bin\/python setup.py install <\/strong><\/p>\n

Step 4 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Installing mod_python and loading the module<\/strong>
\nPlease note to give the apxs and python binary path correctly according to the installed location.<\/p>\n

root@serv:~# <\/span> wget http:\/\/www.ecoficial.com\/apachemirror\/\/httpd\/modpython\/mod_python-3.3.1.tgz <\/strong>
\nroot@serv:~# <\/span> tar -zxvf mod_python-3.3.1.tgz <\/strong>
\nroot@serv:~# <\/span> cd mod_python-3.3.1\/ <\/strong>
\nroot@serv:~# <\/span> .\/configure –with-apxs=\/usr\/sbin\/apxs –with-python=\/usr\/local\/TRAC\/PYTHON\/bin\/python <\/strong>
\nroot@serv:~# <\/span> make <\/strong>
\nroot@serv:~# <\/span> make install <\/strong><\/p>\n

Please make sure that the module is loaded on the proper file which is included in apache conf or you can load the module directly in the main conf file ( httpd.conf )<\/p>\n

root@serv:~# <\/span> echo “LoadModule python_module \/usr\/lib\/apache\/mod_python.so” > \/etc\/httpd\/conf\/extra\/httpd-python.conf <\/strong><\/p>\n

Step 5<\/strong><\/p>\n

Creating a project<\/strong>
\nCreate a mysql db\/db_user and grant all privileges to the database with a password<\/p>\n

root@serv:~# <\/span> \/usr\/local\/TRAC\/PYTHON\/bin\/trac-admin \/var\/project initenv <\/strong> desired_projectname<\/em> mysql:\/\/<\/strong>db_user:db_pass<\/em>@localhost:3306\/<\/strong>db_name<\/em><\/p>\n

Step 6<\/strong><\/p>\n

Setting up a Login<\/strong>
\nLimit the access with a login<\/p>\n

root@serv:~# <\/span> htpasswd -c \/var\/project\/ .htpasswd admin <\/strong><\/p>\n

Step 7<\/strong><\/p>\n

Setup the VirtualHost<\/strong>
\nOpen your Apache VirtualHost file and add the below lines into it<\/p>\n

<Location \/project><\/em><\/p>\n

RewriteEngine Off\u00a0 ### to override any redirect rules on .htaccess of parent directory
\nSetHandler mod_python
\nPythonInterpreter main_interpreter
\nPythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend
\nPythonOption TracEnv \/var\/project
\nPythonOption TracUriRoot \/project
\nAuthType Basic
\nAuthName “Trac”
\nAuthUserFile \/var\/project\/.htpasswd
\nRequire valid-user<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/Location><\/em><\/p>\n

You will be able to access the project trac now using<\/p>\n
