Apache 2.2.15 / SSL, Subversion 1.6.9, Trac 0.11.6 on openSuSE 11.x

This article describes the installation of a Subversion Repository Server including Trac Project Managment on openSuSE 11.x Server.

What is Trac?

Trac is an enhanced wiki and issue tracking system for software development projects.

An integrated system for managing software projects.

An enhanced wiki.

A flexible web-based issue tracker.

An interface to the Subversion revision control system.

Have a look at their homepage:Trac Project Managment.

Normally any linux distribution comes with precompiled packages. But if we want to use the Trac Project Managment we must compile the whole thing ourself.

System Description:

* Standard openSuSE 11.x Server, runlevel3.
* No graphical system is required because it is only a REPOSITORY server and nothing more.

$>cd /usr/local/src

$>wget http://ftp.edgewall.com/pub/trac/Trac-0.11.6.tar.gz
...
$>tar xzvf  Trac-0.11.6.tar.gz

This will byte-compile the python source code and install it in the site-packages directory of your python installation. The directories cgi-bin, templates, htdocs, wiki-default are all copied to $prefix/share/trac. The script will also install the trac-admin command-line tool, used to create and maintain project environments. "trac-admin" is the command center of Trac.

Create "user" and "group" for Subversion:

$>groupadd svn-grp
$>useradd svn -G svn-grp -s /bin/bash
$>passwd svn  (some password for user svn)

Now we create a Subversion Repository:

$>mkdir /data
$>mkdir /data/repos-new
$>chown -R svn.svn-grp /data/*
...
$>now login as user "svn" !!! (you are now user svn) !!!
$>svnadmin create /data/repos-new/MyProject --fs-type fsfs
$>svn mkdir file:///data/repos-new/MyProject/trunk -m "trunk"
...
$>su root (type password for root, you are now user root) !!!

Create a Trac Enviorment from the Repository:

$>trac-admin /data/repos-new/MyProjectTrac initenv
change: Project Name [My Project]> to MyProject,
change: Path to Repository [/var/svn/test] to /data/repos-new/MyProject
$>chgrp -R svn-grp /data/repos-new/
$>chmod -R 770 /data/repos-new/

Now enable the Project Enviorment and start Apache2:

Change and add the following lines to your configuration:

$>vi /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
  (change the Apache user to "svn")
  (change the Apache group to "svn-grp")
...
add the following lines to point to your project:
------------------
SetEnv PYTHON_EGG_CACHE /home/svn
ScriptAlias /trac /usr/share/trac/cgi-bin/trac.cgi
<Location "/trac">
	SetEnv TRAC_ENV "/data/repos-new/MyProject"
</Location>
------------------
  (save the configuration and start Apache2 like)
$>/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start
$>if you get the follwoing message "Syntax error on line xxx of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
  Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_dav_svn.so into server: libsvn_repos-1.so.0:
  cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
$> do a "ldconfig" to load the libs.

Open your webbrowser and type "http://yourip-or-domain/trac". If everything is perfect you can see the welcome message. Also have a look at the "Browse Source" button, there you can see the added subversion "trunk" directory.
