Trac - Multiple Projects

August 25, 2006 · 3 Comment s

In my previous entry I quickly went through the process of setting up Trac. This set up basically worked with a single project. You can of course support multiple projects via a single trac installation and that's what I'm going to show below. The first thing I did was get rid of the following Alias, and replace it with ScriptAlias #Alias /trac <span class='cc_value'>"d:/appservers/Python23/share/trac/htdocs"</span>
ScriptAlias /trac <span class='cc_value'>"D:/appservers/Apache Group/Apache2/cgi-bin/trac.cgi"</span> I then commented out the following block and replaced it #<Location /cgi-bin/trac.cgi>
#SetEnv TRAC_ENV <span class='cc_value'>"d:/svn/la.db"</span>
#SetEnv PYTHONPATH <span class='cc_value'>"d:/Subversion/bin"</span>
# if you are running Apache as a user other than System, the TMP variable
# needs to be set to a place where that user can write scratch files. Make
# sure that this directory is created and writable by that user.
#SetEnv TMP <span class='cc_value'>"c:/svn/trac.db/tmp"</span>
#</Location>

<Location <span class='cc_value'>"/trac"</span>>
SetEnv TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR <span class='cc_value'>"d:/svn/"</span>
SetEnv PYTHONPATH <span class='cc_value'>"d:/Subversion/bin"</span>
</Location> I then updated the authentication block by doing ... and this allows us to share the same password file across all our projects. #<Location /cgi-bin/trac.cgi/login>
# AuthType Basic
# AuthName <span class='cc_value'>"LA"</span>
# AuthUserFile passwd
# C:/svn/.htaccess
# AuthGroupFile svngroup
# Require valid-user
#</Location>

<LocationMatch <span class='cc_value'>"/trac/[^/]+/login"</span>>
AuthType Basic
AuthName <span class='cc_value'>"Trac"</span>
AuthUserFile passwd
AuthGroupFile svngroup
Require valid-user
</LocationMatch> Restart Apache and you're off... http://mysite/trac/ Doing this will get you a list of projects you can choose from, or you can just do http://mysite/trac/<projectname> I should point out that there are other ways of running Trac, and different ways of supporting multiple projects. Also as I'm still learning all this stuff myself, I may not be getting everything "right", so feel free to shout in if you have suggestions. I think I'll follow this up by talking about users and permissions ... though I believe I need to write the next entry for my AdminAPI series.

    Noticed you were using the CGI method. I used this for a while and ended up switching to the mod_python mode (it sped up the response time considerably). Basically, the only thing you have to do on Windows is grab the mod_python.so and make sure you add it to the httpd.conf file (LoadModule python_module modules/mod_python.so) and then add

    &lt;Location /trac&gt;
    SetHandler mod_python
    PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend
    PythonOption TracEnvParentDir c:/svn/trac.db/tmp
    PythonOption TracUriRoot /trac
    &lt;/Location&gt;
