Trac, SVN quick howto on a linux Debian - DataScoutingDataScouting

In the following, I will present a mini guide to setup Trac 0.10.3 and SVN services on a Linux Debian stable.

I needed a per project authentication both in trac and in svn.

I just finished it, seems to be working, will check it out in a few days, hope it does not burn your PC 🙂 and that I did not forget anything crucial.
Careful when copy pasting code, the double quotes get messed up.

TRAC Installation

% apt-get install trac % apt-get install libapache2-mod-python2.4 % sudo mkdir /var/lib/trac % sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/lib/trac

In apache ( for example in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default ) <-you should create a separate file for trac.

ACCESS TRAC through apache

<Location /projects> #set up Trac handling SetHandler mod_python PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend PythonOption TracEnvParentDir /var/lib/trac PythonOption TracUriRoot /projects </Location>

SVN

% sudo apt-get install libapache2-svn subversion #not sure if anything else is needed
% sudo mkdir /var/lib/svn % sudo mkdir /var/lib/svn/MyProject % sudo svnadmin create /var/lib/svn/MyProject % sudo svn mkdir file:///var/lib/svn/MyProject/branches file:///var/lib/svn/MyProject/tags file:///var/lib/svn/MyProject/trunk -m "initial structure" % sudo chown -R www-data /var/lib/svn/MyProject % sudo chown -R www-data /usr/share/trac % sudo apache2 -k restart

TRAC – Create a new Project/add apache authentication to it
% sudo trac-admin /var/lib/trac/MyProject initenv #The previous command asks some basic questions,leave them as they are, they should work except svn repository is located at /var/lib/svn/MyProject % sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/lib/trac/MyProject

% htpasswd -c /var/lib/trac/MyProject/.htpasswd admin enter new password:

The following goes to /etc/apache2/sites-available/default to order apache to use .htpasswd

<Location /projects/MyProject> AuthType Basic AuthName "MyProject" AuthUserFile /var/lib/trac/MyProject/.htpasswd Require valid-user </Location>

SVN Access via Apache in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
Add Authentication for MyProject SVN access
<Location /svn> DAV svn SVNListParentPath on SVNParentPath /var/lib/svn/ </Location> <Location /svn/MyProject> AuthType Basic AuthName "MyProject Subversion repositories" AuthUserFile /var/lib/trac/MyProject/.htpasswd Require valid-user </Location>
