    v3 v4  
    88 * Fast: Should be almost as fast as the [wiki:TracModPython mod_python] version (and much faster than the [wiki:TracCgi CGI]). 
    99 * Automatic reloading: For development, Tracd can be used in ''auto_reload'' mode, which will automatically restart the server whenever you make a change to the code (in Trac itself or in a plugin). 
     10  * Options for tracd: `-r, --auto-reload` 
    1011 
    1112== Cons == 
     
    2122 $ tracd -p 8080 /path/to/project 
    2223}}} 
     24Stricly speaking this will make your Trac accessible to everybody from your network rather than ''localhost only''. To truly limit it use ''--hostname'' option. 
     25{{{ 
     26 $ tracd --hostname=localhost -p 8080 /path/to/project 
     27}}} 
    2328With more than one project. (http://localhost:8080/project1/ and http://localhost:8080/project2/) 
    2429{{{ 
     
    3439}}} 
    3540 
     41To exit the server on Windows, be sure to use {{{CTRL-BREAK}}} -- using {{{CTRL-C}}} will leave a Python process running in the background. 
     42 
     43== Installing as a Windows Service == 
     44 
     45=== Option 1 === 
     46To 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 
     55If you want tracd to start automatically when you boot Windows, do: 
     56{{{ 
     57 sc config tracd start= auto 
     58}}} 
     59 
     60The spacing here is important. 
     61 
     62For 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: 
     63{{{ 
     64"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>" 
     65 
     66net start tracd 
     67}}} 
     68 
     69=== Option 2 === 
     70 
     71Use [http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/WindowsServiceScript WindowsServiceScript], available at [http://trac-hacks.org/ Trac Hacks]. Installs, removes, starts, stops, etc. your Trac service. 
     72 
    3673== Using Authentication == 
    37  
    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. 
     74`tracd` provides support for both Basic and Digest authentication. The default is to use Digest. 
    3975 
    4076  ''Support for Basic authentication was added in version 0.9.'' 
    4177 
    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: 
     78The general format for using authentication is (replace `--auth` with `--basic-auth` if you want to use Basic auth): 
     79 
     80{{{ 
     81 $ tracd -p port --auth="base_project_dir,password_file_path,realm" project_path 
     82}}} 
     83 
     84where: 
     85 
     86 * '''base_project_dir''': the base directory of the project specified as follows: 
     87   * when serving multiple projects: ''relative'' to the `project_bath` 
     88   * when serving only a single project (`-s`): the name of the project directory 
     89 Don't use an absolute path here as this won't work. ''Note:'' This parameter is case-sensitive even for environments on Windows. 
     90 * '''password_file_path''': path to the password file 
     91 * '''realm''': the realm name (can be anything) 
     92 * '''project_path''': path of the project 
     93 
     94Examples: 
     95 
    5096{{{ 
    5197 $ tracd -p 8080 \ 
    52    --auth project1,/path/to/users.htdigest,mycompany.com \ 
    53    --auth project2,/path/to/users.htdigest,mycompany.com \ 
     98   --auth="project1,/path/to/passwordfile,mycompany.com" /path/to/project1 
     99}}} 
     100 
     101Of course, the password file can be be shared so that it is used for more than one project: 
     102{{{ 
     103 $ tracd -p 8080 \ 
     104   --auth="project1,/path/to/passwordfile,mycompany.com" \ 
     105   --auth="project2,/path/to/passwordfile,mycompany.com" \ 
    54106   /path/to/project1 /path/to/project2 
    55107}}} 
    56108 
    57 Another way to share the digest file is to specify "*" 
    58 for the project name: 
     109Another way to share the password file is to specify "*" for the project name: 
    59110{{{ 
    60111 $ tracd -p 8080 \ 
    61    --auth *,/path/to/users.htdigest,mycompany.com \ 
     112   --auth="*,/path/to/users.htdigest,mycompany.com" \ 
    62113   /path/to/project1 /path/to/project2 
    63114}}} 
    64115 
    65 == How to set up an htdigest password file == 
     116=== Using a htpasswd password file === 
     117This section describes how to use `tracd` with Apache .htpasswd files. 
     118 
     119To create a .htpasswd file use Apache's `htpasswd` command (see [#GeneratingPasswordsWithoutApache below] for a method to create these files without using Apache): 
     120 
     121{{{ 
     122 $ sudo htpasswd -c /path/to/env/.htpasswd username 
     123}}} 
     124then for additional users: 
     125{{{ 
     126 $ sudo htpasswd /path/to/env/.htpasswd username2 
     127}}} 
     128 
     129Then to start `tracd` run something like this: 
     130 
     131{{{ 
     132 $ tracd -p 8080 --basic-auth="projectdirname,/fullpath/environmentname/.htpasswd,realmname" /fullpath/environmentname 
     133}}} 
     134 
     135For example: 
     136 
     137{{{ 
     138 $ tracd -p 8080 --basic-auth="testenv,/srv/tracenv/testenv/.htpasswd,My Test Env" /srv/tracenv/testenv 
     139}}} 
     140 
     141''Note:'' You might need to pass "-m" as a parameter to htpasswd on some platforms (OpenBSD). 
     142 
     143=== Using a htdigest password file === 
    66144 
    67145If you have Apache available, you can use the htdigest command to generate the password file. Type 'htdigest' to get some usage instructions, or read [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/programs/htdigest.html this page] from the Apache manual to get precise instructions.  You'll be prompted for a password to enter for each user that you create.  For the name of the password file, you can use whatever you like, but if you use something like `users.htdigest` it will remind you what the file contains. As a suggestion, put it in your <projectname>/conf folder along with the [TracIni trac.ini] file. 
     
    69147Note that you can start tracd without the --auth argument, but if you click on the ''Login'' link you will get an error.

    71 == Generating Passwords Without Apache == 
     149=== Generating Passwords Without Apache === 
    72150 
    73151If you don't have Apache available, you can use this simple Python script to generate your passwords: 
    74152 
    75153{{{ 
     154#!python 
    76155from optparse import OptionParser 
    77 import md5 
     156# The md5 module is deprecated in Python 2.5 
     157try: 
     158    from hashlib import md5 
     159except ImportError: 
     160    from md5 import md5 
     161realm = 'trac' 
    78162 
    79163# build the options 
     
    84168parser.add_option("-p", "--password",action="store", dest="password", type = "string", 
    85169                  help="the password to use") 
     170parser.add_option("-r", "--realm",action="store", dest="realm", type = "string", 
     171                  help="the realm in which to create the digest") 
    86172(options, args) = parser.parse_args() 
    87173 
     
    89175if (options.username is None) or (options.password is None): 
    90176   parser.error("You must supply both the username and password") 
     177if (options.realm is not None): 
     178   realm = options.realm 
    91179    
    92180# Generate the string to enter into the htdigest file 
    93 realm = 'trac' 
    94 kd = lambda x: md5.md5(':'.join(x)).hexdigest() 
     181kd = lambda x: md5(':'.join(x)).hexdigest() 
    95182print ':'.join((options.username, realm, kd([options.username, realm, options.password]))) 
    96183}}} 
     
    99186 
    100187{{{ 
    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 
    103 }}} 
     188 $ python trac-digest.py -u username -p password >> c:\digest.txt 
     189 $ tracd --port 8000 --auth=proj_name,c:\digest.txt,trac c:\path\to\proj_name 
     190}}} 
     191 
     192Note: If you would like to use --basic-auth you need to use htpasswd tool from apache server to generate .htpasswd file. The remaining part is similar but make sure to use empty realm (i.e. coma after path). When using on Windows make sure to use -m option for it (did not tested it on *nix, so not sure if that is the case there).  If you do not have Apache, [trac:source:/tags/trac-0.11b2/contrib/htpasswd.py htpasswd.py] may help.  (Note that it requires a `crypt` or `fcrypt` module; see the source comments for details.) 
     193 
     194It is possible to use md5sum utility to generate digest-password file using such method: 
     195{{{ 
     196 $ printf "${user}:trac:${password}" | md5sum - >>user.htdigest 
     197}}} 
     198and manually delete " -" from the end and add "${user}:trac:" to the start of line from 'to-file'.

    105200== Tips == 
     
    119214in the Wiki: `[/<project_name>/chrome/site/software-0.1.tar.gz]`  
    120215 
    121 The development version of Trac supports a new `htdocs:` TracLinks  
     216Since 0.10, Trac supports a new `htdocs:` TracLinks  
    122217syntax for the above. With this, the example link above can be written simply  
    123218`htdocs:software-0.1.tar.gz`.  
    124219 
     220=== Using apache rewrite rules === 
     221In some situations when you choose to use tracd behind apache, 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. 
     222 
     223=== Serving a different base path than / === 
     224Tracd supports serving projects with different base urls than /<project>. The parameter name to change this is 
     225{{{ 
     226 $ tracd --base-path=/some/path 
     227}}}
