Editing Trac Installation on Windows Server 2008 (section)

== Running Trac on IIS ==

* See [http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracOnWindowsIisAjp Running Trac on IIS 6 Using AJP]<br />(This also works with IIS 7.)

=== Install Trac ===

* Download and install Trac.
** [http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracDownload Trac Download] > '''Windows Installer''' (.exe)
** Or Google "Trac Windows" and from there follow the "download" links.
* Install Genshi<br /><syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
$ pip install genshi
</syntaxhighlight>
* Instead of using port 8000, use 8009 which is the standard port for AJP.
* Add <code>--protocol=ajp</code> to have tracd use AJP instead of HTTP.<br /><syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
$ tracd --port 8009 --protocol=ajp ./littledamien_web/trac
</syntaxhighlight>
* This will result in an error indicating that the module flup.server.ajp is missing. If not, flup is installed and the next step may be skipped.

=== Install flup ===

* Try installing using `pip`<br /><syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
$ pip install flup
</syntaxhighlight>

That `pip` command should be all that's required. Following are the original instructions for posterity. They should be unnecessary and superseded by the above instructions.  

* Copy `flup-1.0-py2.5.egg` from [http://www.saddi.com/software/flup/dist/ Saddi Software binaries] to `C:\Python27\Scripts` (or whatever may be your Python installation directory).
* Install with `easy_install`<br /><syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
$ easy_install flup
</syntaxhighlight>

=== Install Tomcat AJP Connector for II S===

* Set up the directory structure.
We assume there will be a base directory named C:\AJP-Connector and three subdirectories bin, conf and logs. Of course, you may choose anything else for the base directory.

* Copy <code>tomcat-connectors-1.2.37-windows-i386-iis.zip</code> (or <code>tomcat-connectors-1.2.37-windows-x86_64-iis.zip</code> in a 64 bit environment) or a newer version from [http://www.apache.org/dist/tomcat/tomcat-connectors/jk/binaries/windows/ Apache binaries] and extract <code>isapi_redirect.dll</code> to the bin subdirectory.
* Create a configuration file <code>isapi_redirect.properties</code> for the ISAPI redirector.
This must be in the same directory as the DLL and have exactly the same name but with a .properties extension. The configuration file should contain this: (be sure to replace "C:\AJP-Connector" with your actual directory)

<pre>
# Configuration file for the ISAPI Redirector

# The path to the ISAPI Redirector Extension, relative to the website
# This must be in a virtual directory with execute privileges
extension_uri=/AJP-Connector/isapi_redirect.dll

# Full path to the log file for the ISAPI Redirector
log_file=C:\AJP-Connector\logs\isapi_redirect.log

# Log level (debug, info, warn, error or trace)
log_level=info

# Full path to the workers.properties file
worker_file=C:\AJP-Connector\conf\workers.properties

# Full path to the uriworkermap.properties file
worker_mount_file=C:\AJP-Connector\conf\uriworkermap.properties
</pre>
* Create the workers.properties file with the following content: (replace the host name and port if necessary)
<pre>
# Define 1 real worker
worker.list=trac
# Set properties for trac (ajp13)
worker.trac.type=ajp13
worker.trac.host=localhost
worker.trac.port=8009
worker.trac.socket_keepalive=0
</pre>
* Create the uriworkermap.properties file with the following content: (replace foo and bar with your trac project names)
<pre>
/foo*=trac
/bar*=trac
</pre>

===Define the virtual directory for AJP-Connector===
* Start IIS Manager
* Inside the web site where you want to publish Trac, define a virtual directory named AJP-Connector, pointing to your bin subdirectory, with permissions to execute executables (not only scripts).
** Click the name of the virtual directory.
** In the virtual directory '''Home''' area, double click '''Handler Mappings'''.
** In the '''Actions''' pane, click '''Edit Feature Permissions'''.
** In the '''Edit Feature Permissions''' dialog verify that the '''Read''' and '''Script''' check boxes are both selected, and that the '''Execute''' check box is also selected.
The only purpose for this virtual directory is to allow the ISAPI filter defined in step 6 to find the DLL.

===Allow execution of the DLL as Web Service Extension===
* Open IIS manager
* Click on the Computer name in the left pane (root node in the tree)
* In the '''Features''' view select '''ISAPI and CGI Restrictions'''.
* Under '''Actions''' in the right column click '''Add...'''
** ISAPI or CGI path: path to AJP DLL. (<code>c:\AJP-Connector\bin\isapi_redirect.dll</code>)
** Description: AJP-Connector
** Allow extension path to execute: checked

===Add AJP-Connector to the ISAPI filters===
* In the IIS Manager, open the properties of the web site where you want to publish Trac.
* Open '''ISAPI Filters'''.
* Add a new filter with any filter name (I prefer "AJP-Connector") and the complete path to c:\AJP-Connector/bin/isapi_redirect.dll as executable.
