Trac on CGI

Caveat

The way CGI works requires that the entire Trac application be reloaded on every request. This ends up being very slow. Use CGI only as a last resort.

To generate the trac.cgi script run:

trac-admin /path/to/env deploy /path/to/www/trac

It will be in the cgi-bin folder inside the path given.

Apache

Add an alias for the path you want to run Trac at to your VirtualHost:

ScriptAlias /trac /path/to/www/trac/cgi-bin/trac.cgi

For a multiple environment configuration you can use:

ScriptAlias /trac /path/to/www/trac/cgi-bin/trac.cgi
<Location /trac>
    SetEnv TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR /path/to/base
</Location>

See Authentication on Apache to setup authentication.
