Installing TRAC on Linux

STEPS OF INSTALLATION
admin@linuxguy:~$ trac-admin /var/lib/trac initenv
Creating a new Trac environment at /var/lib/trac

Trac will first ask a few questions about your environment
in order to initalize and prepare the project database.

Please enter the name of your project.
This name will be used in page titles and descriptions.

Project Name [My Project]> DOSE

Please specify the connection string for the database to use.
By default, a local SQLite database is created in the environment
directory. It is also possible to use an already existing
PostgreSQL database (check the Trac documentation for the exact
connection string syntax).

Database connection string [sqlite:db/trac.db]>

Please specify the type of version control system,
By default, it will be svn.

If you don't want to use Trac with version control integration,
choose the default here and don't specify a repository directory.
in the next question.

Repository type [svn]>

Please specify the absolute path to the version control
repository, or leave it blank to use Trac without a repository.
You can also set the repository location later.
Path to repository [/path/to/repos]> /home/linuxguy/repository

CONFIGURING TRAC TO WORK WITH SVN


We need to add Account Manager plugin to make TRAC work with SVN Authz.Kindly modify the /var/lib/trac/trac.ini file in the following manner.Add the lines at the end of trac.ini under /var/lib/trac/conf/trac.ini
File: trac.ini


[components]
acct_mgr.api.* = enabled
trac.web.auth.LoginModule = disabled
acct_mgr.web_ui.LoginModule = enabled
acct_mgr.svnserve.* = enabled
acct_mgr.web_ui.RegistrationModule = enabled



[account-manager]
password_store = SvnServePasswordStore
password_file = /home/DOSE/repository/conf/passwd
