Comments on How to Install Trac Project Management Tool on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

ERROR: Site test does not exist! This is the error i get when i try running the "sudo a2ensite test" command

Use:

sudo a2enconf trac

instead or if this doe snotw ork use:

sudo a2enconf trac.conf

This instruction got me further than the trac site. But when I modify the trac.conf file acoording to your instruction the statement WSGIScriptAlias causes apache2 to not restart. Removing this line and all is ok. But I don' get a login in prompt, just a list of files in the test directory. Do you know what I did wrong?

I have 2 issues - I cannot get any password from the .htdigest to accept (password prompt keeps coming back) despite resetting password and restarting apache.

If I remove auth completely, I get a "forbidden" error from Apache, presumably as it is trying to find a directory.

 

Any dieas?

Thank you for the clear instructions! My first project works great but I need a second instance of trac that is completely isolated from the first with a different set of users and different ticket fields. Lets call it test2. After running the initenv command I get a test2 directory under /var/lib/trac but not under /var/www/html/trac. And failed attempts to access through browser http://hostname:port/trac/test2. Any help would be great. Thanks

Found a manual way to do this... copy the "/var/www/html/trac/test" directory to a new "test2" directory. It's only 1.5MBytes.

/var/www/html/trac$ sudo mkdir test2

/var/www/html/trac/test$ sudo cp -r ./cgi-bin /var/www/html/trac/test2

/var/www/html/trac/test$ sudo cp -r ./htdocs /var/www/html/trac/test2

make sure owner and permission match the "test" directories and files

#Replace all instances of test to test2:

/var/www/html/trac/test$ grep -r "test" .

./cgi-bin/trac.cgi:        os.environ['TRAC_ENV'] = '/var/lib/trac/test'

./cgi-bin/trac.wsgi:        environ.setdefault('trac.env_path', '/var/lib/trac/test')

./cgi-bin/trac.fcgi:        os.environ['TRAC_ENV'] = '/var/lib/trac/test'

Add a second Alias and Location block in trac.conf, replace "test" with "test2":

WSGIScriptAlias /trac/test2 /var/www/html/trac/test2/cgi-bin/trac.wsgi <Location /trac/test2> AuthType Digest AuthName "test2" AuthUserFile /var/lib/trac/test2/.htdigest Require valid-user </Location>

Restart server and access the new trac, test2 instance with :

 http://your-domain-name/trac/test2

 

I restore my files to new server its show in error message like below,

Oops… Trac detected an internal error: OperationalError: no such column: ipnr
