Thanks for publishing this - I was searching for a way to make trac and svn users one and the same and this is it.

@dev Try using nano /etc/svnaccess instead. gpedit probably isn’t installed in your build.

@all I had to change the svnaccess file from ‘[ \ ]‘ to ‘[\]‘ as others have stated.

@all if you use the perl script be sure to chmod it (I used 774)

Thanks for the writeup!

sudo gpedit /etc/svnaccess
after this step it is saying gpedit command not found…

This all works well, and it’s let me get SVN and Trac installed where most other “tutorials” just don’t work.

One issue that I’ve found is that I’ve tried to activate the WebAdmin area by setting my user up with TRAC_ADMIN permission, but the administration panel doesn’t show. I’ve installed the latest stable version as far as I know (0.11.3), and no matter what I do, the admin section stays firmly hidden, even though it’s suppsoed to be build in with 0.11.x

Anyone have any ideas on what might be wrong?

Thank you for this guide. The svn DAV parts weren’t quite working for me, and your guide had the pieces I was missing.

Hi there

Many thanks for the tutorial.

Two small things i had to do with 8.04 server:

- Instead of: “a2ensite /etc/apache2/sites-available/myserver” i had to: a2dissite (then you can choose which site you want to disable (000-default for me), and then a2ensite (once again you can choose which site you want to enable (myserver),

- I made the init.pl in ~. If you do so, you have to set the rights to execute (chmod 777 init.pl worked for me)

thanks for the instructions, very helpful. There is however a problem in the Perl scrip (init.pl), the line

$path = “sudo trac-admin /trac/$sName permission add yourusername TRAC_ADMIN permission list yourusername”;

should be

$path = “sudo trac-admin /trac/$sName permission add yourusername TRAC_ADMIN”;

Hello Anant.

I have a couple of questions.
But first let me thank you for putting up the instructions!
I got apache working because I typed the localhost’s IP address in the URL and I get the ‘It Works!’ message.

What I’m not sure about is the Perl script. On what directory do I save the script?

Also, if I type http://IP/trac I get a 404 error.
Any ideas?

A note to consider:
When typing sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
I get the following:

*Reloading web server config apache2
[today's date] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts

Thanks!!
