Trac install notes

0. Follow the directions in various places - they work well, thus I’ll not be rewriting them.

1. Run the right version of apache 2.0.54 to 2.0.59

2. Follow the installer at http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/Trac0.9/TracOnWindows *** Caveat - see #4

3. The URL for making the directory - because I am using Cygwin was trac/project (not trac\project) - the backslash was breaking things.

4. Mod python: http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracModPython

4. Have your svn repository permissions set right. I had the error in the pic. On my system apache runs as “SYSTEM” so I had to add “SYSTEM” as a user with some rights to my repository. I used taskmgr to see what the user was.
Trac error - could not access the project/format directory
5. My viewing of php docs was not working. Google’d and see this ticket: http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/3886
My trac.ini entry was: `php_path = “C:/Program Files/php-5.1.4-Win32/php.exe”`
6. Added some security - in the apache config, instead of `trac/project/login` I used `trac/project` so the project is not visible to the world.
