How to run Trac on Windows?

Question

Look for documentation (manual / tutorial) that easily explains how to configure and run Trac using Subversion on Windows. Suggestions?

Answer 1

There are several guides on the official track:

• http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracOnWindows
• http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracOnWindows/Python2.5

Answer 2

Why not write a Buildix image from Thoughtworks? It contains Subversion, Trac, CruiseControl, all in the Ubuntu LiveCD or VMware image.

Answer 3

The Trac on Windows page on the main trac website contains everything you need to know for an easy installation. Authentication via basic http auth may be a bit messy, but it is also described (via trac-digest.py).

Answer 4

If you use VisualSVN Server, installing Trac on top of it is simplified using the help (and downloads) found at http://www.visualsvn.com/server/trac/

Answer 5

I installed it on a Windows Server 2008 server using its user guide (with some settings):

Answer 6

I suggest that instead of trying to assemble the items manually, you use an all-in-one installer, such as open source BitNami Trac Stack , an easy-to-use Windows installer that sends Python, Trac, Subversion and dependencies to run Trac on Windows. You can even easily create your repository from the installation wizard. Disclaimer: I am part of BitNami and support the Trac installer.
