Installation and Configuration of TRAC - standalone-server-configuration

• See official site: ​http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracStandalone

• Get packages (trac-admin + standalone-server tracd)
  • Install setuptools via your packaging system (python - addon)
  • Install trac (here trac 0.12):

      $ easy_install Trac==0.12
    

  • easy_install should resolve all dependencies
  • see ​http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracInstall#Usingeasy_install
• Create the trac-directory containing
  • the configuration-file of this project (i.e. trac.ini)
  • the user-information (passwords + permissions)
  • the database for the wiki, tickets etc.
  • Therefore:

1. Init trac-environment

   $ trac-admin /path/to/trac_dir/ initenv
   

   Choose Project Name, and local sqlite-database (I think also SQL and others are possible)

2. Create .htpasswd file in /path/to/trac_dir/:

   $ htpasswd2 -c /path/to/trac_dir/.htpasswd username
   

   You are prompted for a password. To use the svn-users with trac, a small script can update the trac-user-information from the svn-passwd-file (see below).
3. Add admin-permissions for username (necessary for availability of Admin-tab in the web-interface (see ​http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracPermissions#GraphicalAdminTab):

   $ trac-admin /path/to/trac_dir permission add username TRAC_ADMIN
