Hello,

I'm looking at upgrading a trac server thats running on suse 10.1 and looking at updating it to a newer version of trac. The process in their documentation seems to be fairly straight forward, however, sometimes these simple upgrades don't take place as planned. Does anyone have experience with this? or done it before?

Thanks

I removed the trac directory from /usr/lib64/python2.5/sites-packages like the documentation suggests. I install it with python ./setup.py install and it goes in great.

I get this when I navigate to my project:

Ideas?

Since someone is bound to find this on the Internet and be stumped. The way around this crappy upgrade was to create a whole new Trac on a clean machine, and port over all of the needed files.

Be forewarned that a resync takes forever with lots of tickets
