Trac configured with Nginx MySql Python SVN on Ubuntu

Assuming you’ve downloaded ./configure && make && make install the latest nginx and have mysql, svn already installed. More info on installing svn and setting up svn here.

apt-get install trac
apt-get install python-mysqldb

Now once I’ll assume you’ve set up an svn repostitory in /home/svn/myproject.

trac-admin /home/trac/myproject initenv #fill in details here assume project name is myproject
htdigest -c /home/trac/myproject.passwd myproject.com my_username
trac-admin /home/trac/myproject permission add my_username TRAC_ADMIN
chown -R www-data /home/trac/myproject
sudo -u www-data tracd -d -p 3110 --auth=myproject,/home/trac/myproject.passwd,myproject.com /home/trac/myproject

Now you have a tracd server daemonized.

Now add an nginx conf file in your nginx conf directory:

 upstream live_trachosts_com {
          server  127.0.0.1:3110;
  }
  
  server {
          listen          80;
          server_name     myproject.com;
          location / {
                rewrite ^/$ /myproject last;
                  proxy_pass      http://live_trachosts_com;
          }
  
  }

Now restart/reload Nginx.
