Trac LogoPreviously I have installed a DNS service on my Ubuntu server. Today I would like to install a Trac service which supports for multiple projects using Mod_Python on Apache.


Condition :

  1. I would like to use sub-domain for trac service that is trac.aoddy.com
  2. Trac service can support multiple projects such as trac.aoddy.com/Project1, trac.aoddy.com/Project2
  3. Trac service supports SVN service too.

Softwares :

  1. enscript
  2. libapache2-mod-python
  3. python-docutils
  4. trac
  5. db4.3-util
  6. libapache2-svn
  7. subversion-tools

You can install software by

$ sudo apt-get install enscript libapache2-mod-python python-docutils trac db4.3-util libapache2-svn subversion-tools

Install & Configurations :

  1. Create SVN directory such as :
    $ sudo mkdir /svn
  2. Set SVN directory to repository.
    $ sudo svnadmin create /svn
  3. Create a user account so as to security policy.
    $ sudo htpasswd 2 -cm /etc/apach2/dav_svn.passwd YOUR-ACCOUNT
  4. Create TRAC directory such as :
    $ sudo mkdir /trac
  5. Change owner of TRAC directory to www-data :
    $ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /trac
  6. Create a configuration file of TRAC in apache
    $ sudo vi /etc/apache2/site-available/trac.aoddy.com

ServerName trac.aoddy.com
DocumentRoot /trac

SetHandler mod_python
PythonInterpreter main_interpreter
PythonOption TracEnvParentDir /var/lib/trac
PythonOption TracUriRoot /


AuthType Basic
AuthName "Trac"
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd
Require valid-user

Alias /svn /svn

DAV svn
SVNParentPath /svn
SVNListParentPath On
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion Repository"
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd
AuthzSVNAccessFile /etc/apache2/authz_svn.access
Require valid-user

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/trac.aoddy.com/error.log
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/trac.aoddy.com/access.log common
  7. Create a directory for keep error log.
    $ sudo mkdir -p /var/log/apache2/trac.aoddy.com/
  8. Add this site into apache service.
    $ sudo a2ensite trac.aoddy.com
$ sudo /etc/init.d/apach2 restart
  9. Sometime you need to re-configure in this file, I recommend you should use these commands.
    $ sudo a2dissite trac.aoddy.com
$ sudo a2ensite trac.aoddy.com
$ sudo /etc/init.d/apach2 restart
  10. Test by open an URL http://trac.aoddy.com/

Create SVN

You can use this script for create a SVN environment.

#!/bin/bash
PROJECTNAME=$1
mkdir -p /tmp/${PROJECTNAME}/branches /tmp/${PROJECTNAME}/tags/ /tmp/${PROJECTNAME}/trunks
svnadmin create /svn/${PROJECTNAME}
svn import /tmp/${PROJECTNAME} file:///svn/${PROJECTNAME} -m "initial import"
sudo rm -rf /tmp/${PROJECTNAME}

Don’t remember to change mode of this script to execute file and run this script by root permission.

Create TRAC 

$ sudo trac-admin /trac/YOUR-PROJECT-NAME initenv

After you run this command you should find some question about your project

the project name (YOUR-PROJECT-NAME)
use the default database connection string (sqlite:db/trac.db)
the path to svn repository (/svn/YOUR-PROJECT-NAME)
use the default Trac templates directory (/usr/share/trac/templates)

Change permission of this project so as to support apache service

$ sudo chown -R www-data /trac/YOUR-PROJECT-NAME

Woowww, you should find your new project on trac service at http://trac.aoddy.com/YOUR-PROJECT-NAME
