h1. How to setup trac with Lighttpd
"Trac":http://trac.edgewall.org/ is an enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects.
h2. Common setup using FastCGI
<pre>
$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"
</pre>
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:|spawn-fcgi]] to spawn the trac application too, of course.
<pre>
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
</pre>
h2. Common setup using CGI
Take a look at the "updated Trac setup documentation":http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracInstallPlatforms
h2. Fedora setup
<pre>
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"
)
)
}
}
</pre>
h2. 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":http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracInstall.
trac provides a seperated tracd which is started locally at port 9090:
<pre>
$ tracd -b 127.0.0.1 -p 9090 /path/to/trac/lighttpd/
</pre>
To forward all requests from the webserver to trac the [[lighttpd:Docs:ModProxy]] is used:
<pre>
$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 )))
}
</pre>
