| | 43 | == Installing as a Windows Service == |
| | 44 | |
| | 45 | === Option 1 === |
| | 46 | To install as a Windows service, get the [http://www.google.com/search?q=srvany.exe SRVANY] utility and run: |
| | 47 | {{{ |
| | 48 | C:\path\to\instsrv.exe tracd C:\path\to\srvany.exe |
| | 49 | reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\tracd\Parameters /v Application /d "\"C:\path\to\python.exe\" \"C:\path\to\python\scripts\tracd-script.py\" <your tracd parameters>" |
| | 50 | net start tracd |
| | 51 | }}} |
| | 52 | |
| | 53 | '''DO NOT''' use {{{tracd.exe}}}. Instead register {{{python.exe}}} directly with {{{tracd-script.py}}} as a parameter. If you use {{{tracd.exe}}}, it will spawn the python process without SRVANY's knowledge. This python process will survive a {{{net stop tracd}}}. |
| | 54 | |
| | 55 | If you want tracd to start automatically when you boot Windows, do: |
| | 56 | {{{ |
| | 57 | sc config tracd start= auto |
| | 58 | }}} |
| | 59 | |
| | 60 | The spacing here is important. |
| | 61 | |
| | 62 | {{{#!div |
| | 63 | Once the service is installed, it might be simpler to run the Registry Editor rather than use the `reg add` command documented above. Navigate to:[[BR]] |
| | 64 | `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\tracd\Parameters` |
| | 65 | |
| | 66 | Three (string) parameters are provided: |
| | 67 | ||!AppDirectory ||C:\Python26\ || |
| | 68 | ||Application ||python.exe || |
| | 69 | ||!AppParameters ||scripts\tracd-script.py -p 8080 ... || |
| | 70 | |
| | 71 | Note that, if the !AppDirectory is set as above, the paths of the executable ''and'' of the script name and parameter values are relative to the directory. This makes updating Python a little simpler because the change can be limited, here, to a single point. |
| | 72 | (This is true for the path to the .htpasswd file, as well, despite the documentation calling out the /full/path/to/htpasswd; however, you may not wish to store that file under the Python directory.) |
| | 73 | }}} |
| | 74 | |
| | 75 | For Windows 7 User, srvany.exe may not be an option, so you can use [http://www.google.com/search?q=winserv.exe WINSERV] utility and run: |
| | 76 | {{{ |
| | 77 | "C:\path\to\winserv.exe" install tracd -displayname "tracd" -start auto "C:\path\to\python.exe" c:\path\to\python\scripts\tracd-script.py <your tracd parameters>" |
| | 78 | |
| | 79 | net start tracd |
| | 80 | }}} |
| | 81 | |
| | 82 | === Option 2 === |
| | 83 | |
| | 84 | Use [http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/WindowsServiceScript WindowsServiceScript], available at [http://trac-hacks.org/ Trac Hacks]. Installs, removes, starts, stops, etc. your Trac service. |
| | 85 | |
| 38 | | Tracd provides support for both Basic and Digest authentication. The default is to use Digest; to use Basic authentication, replace `--auth` with `--basic-auth` in the examples below, and omit the realm. |
| 39 | | |
| 40 | | ''Support for Basic authentication was added in version 0.9.'' |
| 41 | | |
| 42 | | If the file `/path/to/users.htdigest` contains user accounts for project1 with the realm "mycompany.com", you'd use the following command-line to start tracd: |
| 43 | | {{{ |
| 44 | | $ tracd -p 8080 --auth project1,/path/to/users.htdigest,mycompany.com /path/to/project1 |
| 45 | | }}} |
| 46 | | |
| 47 | | '''Note''': the project "name" passed to the `--auth` option is the base name of the project environment directory. |
| 48 | | |
| 49 | | Of course, the digest file can be be shared so that it is used for more than one project: |
| | 88 | Tracd provides support for both Basic and Digest authentication. Digest is considered more secure. The examples below use Digest; to use Basic authentication, replace `--auth` with `--basic-auth` in the command line. |
| | 89 | |
| | 90 | The general format for using authentication is: |
| | 91 | {{{ |
| | 92 | $ tracd -p port --auth="base_project_dir,password_file_path,realm" project_path |
| | 93 | }}} |
| | 94 | where: |
| | 95 | * '''base_project_dir''': the base directory of the project specified as follows: |
| | 96 | * when serving multiple projects: ''relative'' to the `project_path` |
| | 97 | * when serving only a single project (`-s`): the name of the project directory |
| | 98 | Don't use an absolute path here as this won't work. ''Note:'' This parameter is case-sensitive even for environments on Windows. |
| | 99 | * '''password_file_path''': path to the password file |
| | 100 | * '''realm''': the realm name (can be anything) |
| | 101 | * '''project_path''': path of the project |
| | 102 | |
| | 103 | * **`--auth`** in the above means use Digest authentication, replace `--auth` with `--basic-auth` if you want to use Basic auth. Although Basic authentication does not require a "realm", the command parser does, so the second comma is required, followed directly by the closing quote for an empty realm name. |
| | 104 | |
| | 105 | Examples: |
| | 106 | |
| 52 | | --auth project1,/path/to/users.htdigest,mycompany.com \ |
| 53 | | --auth project2,/path/to/users.htdigest,mycompany.com \ |
| | 109 | --auth="project1,/path/to/passwordfile,mycompany.com" /path/to/project1 |
| | 110 | }}} |
| | 111 | |
| | 112 | Of course, the password file can be be shared so that it is used for more than one project: |
| | 113 | {{{ |
| | 114 | $ tracd -p 8080 \ |
| | 115 | --auth="project1,/path/to/passwordfile,mycompany.com" \ |
| | 116 | --auth="project2,/path/to/passwordfile,mycompany.com" \ |
| 65 | | == How to set up an htdigest password file == |
| | 127 | === Basic Authorization: Using a htpasswd password file === |
| | 128 | This section describes how to use `tracd` with Apache .htpasswd files. |
| | 129 | |
| | 130 | To create a .htpasswd file use Apache's `htpasswd` command (see [#GeneratingPasswordsWithoutApache below] for a method to create these files without using Apache): |
| | 131 | {{{ |
| | 132 | $ sudo htpasswd -c /path/to/env/.htpasswd username |
| | 133 | }}} |
| | 134 | then for additional users: |
| | 135 | {{{ |
| | 136 | $ sudo htpasswd /path/to/env/.htpasswd username2 |
| | 137 | }}} |
| | 138 | |
| | 139 | Then to start `tracd` run something like this: |
| | 140 | {{{ |
| | 141 | $ tracd -p 8080 --basic-auth="projectdirname,/fullpath/environmentname/.htpasswd,realmname" /fullpath/environmentname |
| | 142 | }}} |
| | 143 | |
| | 144 | For example: |
| | 145 | {{{ |
| | 146 | $ tracd -p 8080 --basic-auth="testenv,/srv/tracenv/testenv/.htpasswd,My Test Env" /srv/tracenv/testenv |
| | 147 | }}} |
| | 148 | ''Note:'' You might need to pass "-m" as a parameter to htpasswd on some platforms (OpenBSD). |
| | 149 | |
| | 150 | === Digest authentication: Using a htdigest password file === |
| 98 | | Note: If you use the above script you must use the --auth option to tracd, not --basic-auth, and you must set the realm in the --auth value to 'trac' (without the quotes). Example usage (assuming you saved the script as trac-digest.py): |
| 99 | | |
| 100 | | {{{ |
| 101 | | python trac-digest.py -u username -p password >> c:\digest.txt |
| 102 | | python tracd --port 8000 --auth proj_name,c:\digest.txt,trac c:\path\to\proj_name |
| | 194 | Note: If you use the above script you must set the realm in the `--auth` argument to '''`trac`'''. Example usage (assuming you saved the script as trac-digest.py): |
| | 195 | |
| | 196 | {{{ |
| | 197 | $ python trac-digest.py -u username -p password >> c:\digest.txt |
| | 198 | $ tracd --port 8000 --auth=proj_name,c:\digest.txt,trac c:\path\to\proj_name |
| | 199 | }}} |
| | 200 | |
| | 201 | ==== Using `md5sum` |
| | 202 | It is possible to use `md5sum` utility to generate digest-password file: |
| | 203 | {{{ |
| | 204 | $ printf "${user}:trac:${password}" | md5sum - >>user.htdigest |
| | 205 | }}} |
| | 206 | and manually delete " -" from the end and add "${user}:trac:" to the start of line from 'to-file'. |

| 119 | | in the Wiki: `[/<project_name>/chrome/site/software-0.1.tar.gz]` |
| 120 | | |
| 121 | | The development version of Trac supports a new `htdocs:` TracLinks |
| 122 | | syntax for the above. With this, the example link above can be written simply |
| 123 | | `htdocs:software-0.1.tar.gz`. |
| | 249 | which in turn can be written as `htdocs:software-0.1.tar.gz` (TracLinks syntax) or `[/<project_name>/chrome/site/software-0.1.tar.gz]` (relative link syntax). |
| | 250 | |
| | 251 | ''Support for `htdocs:` TracLinks syntax was added in version 0.10'' |
| | 252 | |
| | 253 | === Using tracd behind a proxy |
| | 254 | |
| | 255 | In some situations when you choose to use tracd behind Apache or another web server. |
| | 256 | |
| | 257 | In this situation, you might experience issues with redirects, like being redirected to URLs with the wrong host or protocol. In this case (and only in this case), setting the `[trac] use_base_url_for_redirect` to `true` can help, as this will force Trac to use the value of `[trac] base_url` for doing the redirects. |
| | 258 | |
| | 259 | If you're using the AJP protocol to connect with `tracd` (which is possible if you have flup installed), then you might experience problems with double quoting. Consider adding the `--unquote` parameter. |
| | 260 | |
| | 261 | See also [trac:TracOnWindowsIisAjp], [trac:TracNginxRecipe]. |
| | 262 | |
| | 263 | === Serving a different base path than / === |
| | 264 | Tracd supports serving projects with different base urls than /<project>. The parameter name to change this is |
| | 265 | {{{ |
| | 266 | $ tracd --base-path=/some/path |
| | 267 | }}} |
