[TRAC] Installation

[apowell656]

I have followed the guides from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Trac and http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracInstall (using http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/MySqlDb for getting the right connection etc.).

Issues required packages are not available, I am assuming they are outdated, and when I have used what is workable from the Arch guide I receive the following error:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Creating and Initializing Project
Initenv for '/mnt/rpo/trac/projects' failed.

TracError: Cannot load Python bindings for MySQL')

Has anyone successfully installed trac and if so what steps did you take.

Thanks in advance.

Is that Python2?

mysql-python installed?

[apowell656]

Thanks "mysql-python installed?" worked.

Solution apparently is
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
pacman -S mysql-python
')

[apowell656]

That is correct:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -S trac subversion python2-psycopg2 mysql-python')

I still have a few more steps to go to make this work the way that I need it to:

- Configure authentication
- Set the configuration to allow for multiple projects according to note http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/SimpleMultiProjectPlugin
- Setup for use with git
- Starting up correctly on system boot up

I plan on documenting the results just in case anyone else needs help.

Ok I installed mod_wsgi2 to run with Python2, but now I cannot start Apache. I followed the steps from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/mod_wsgi and can only get Apache to start without the module being loaded. There is nothing on Google suggesting a fix. Looks like I am back to square one.
