How to setup trac with Lighttpd¶
Trac is an enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects.
Common setup using FastCGI¶
$HTTP["host"] == "trac.example.com" { server.document-root = "/www/htdocs/sites/trac.example.com" alias.url = ( "/trac_prefix/chrome/common/" => "/usr/share/trac/htdocs/", ) # rewrite for multiple svn project url.rewrite-final = ( "^/trac_prefix/[^/]+/chrome/common/(.*)" => "/trac_prefix/chrome/common/$1", ) $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/trac_prefix/chrome/" { # no fastcgi } # end of $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/trac_prefix/chrome/" else $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/trac_prefix" { fastcgi.server = ( "/trac_prefix" => ( # if trac_prefix is empty, use "/" ( # options needed to have lighty spawn trac "bin-path" => "/usr/share/webapps/trac/0.9.3/hostroot/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi", "min-procs" => 1, "max-procs" => 1, "bin-environment" => ( "TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR" => "/var/lib/trac/", ), # options needed in all cases "socket" => "/tmp/trac.sock", "check-local" => "disable", # optional "disable-time" => 1, # needed if trac_prefix is empty; and you need >= 1.4.23 "fix-root-scriptname" => "enable", ), ), ) } # end of $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/trac_prefix" } # end of $HTTP["host"] == "trac.example.com"
Change "/trac_prefix" (neither "/trac_prefix/" nor "trac_prefix/", nor "trac_prefix") to anything else or even remove it if you want.
If you only want one svn project, then replace "TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR" with "TRAC_ENV" and change "/var/lib/trac" to the correct subdirectory.
You can use spawn-fcgi to spawn the trac application too, of course.
TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR=/var/lib/trac/ spawn-fcgi -n -s /tmp/trac.sock -- /usr/share/webapps/trac/0.9.3/hostroot/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi
Common setup using CGI¶
Take a look at the updated Trac setup documentation
Fedora setup¶
var.fcgi_binary="/usr/bin/python /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Trac-0.11.4-py2.5.egg/trac/web/fcgi_frontend.py" # Change to point to correct version $HTTP["host"] == "trac.example.com" { fastcgi.server = ( "/" => ( "trac" => ( "socket" => "/tmp/trac-fastcgi.sock", "bin-path" => fcgi_binary, "check-local" => "disable", "bin-environment" => ( "TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR" => "/path/to/trac", "PYTHONPATH" => "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages", "PYTHON_EGG_CACHE" => "/tmp/trac" ), "fix-root-scriptname" => "enable", ) ) ) $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/.*/login$" { auth.require = ( "/" => ( "method" => "digest", "realm" => "Trac", "require" => "valid-user" ) ) } }
Separated setup¶
The webserver at lighttpd.net is living in a chroot which separates the webserver-root from the rest of the system and the subversion repositories.
As trac requires physical access it couldn't be installed in the well documented way.
trac provides a seperated tracd which is started locally at port 9090:
$ tracd -b 127.0.0.1 -p 9090 /path/to/trac/lighttpd/
Additionally, if you want to access your proxied trac installation with a base url other than /, you can add the following switch to the previous tracd command-line:
--base-path=/some/path
To forward all requests from the webserver to trac the Docs:ModProxy is used:
$HTTP["host"] == "trac.lighttpd.net" { # forward all requests at trac.lighttpd.net to the tracd proxy.server = ("" => ( "trac" => ( "host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => 9090 ))) }
