Creating a Trac Project Environment: Difference between revisions

How to set up a new Trac project environment on Windows using a SQLite database.

Python
- The Windows installation of Python doesn't update the "path" environment variable. It's necessary to do that manually to include the path to the python executable.
- Same is true for Trac. By default the trac libraries are installed in [PYTHON_INSTALL_DIR]\Lib\site-packages\. The trac-admin executable is located in c:\python27\scripts\ (where c:\phython27\ is the installation directory for Python).
Python setuptools
Genshi
And of course, Trac. Which for now requires Python 2.7 (even though Python 3.x exists).
It looks like it's possible to run multiple python environments?

trac-admin /path/to/tracdir initenv

Then trac will prompt for settings:

The configuration file for the new project environment is located at [TRAC_PROJECT_DIR]\conf\trac.ini.

Start the server with

tracd --port 8000 /path/to/tracdir

Then you can connect to the trac project with http://localhost:8000/trac/.

sqlite3 /develop/trac-projectname.db
