Etch to Lenny and my trac went away

8

March 3, 2009

Tonight I upgraded my Debian Etch servers to Lenny. The whole procedure went like a clockwork, except one thing:
Trac

I access my trac via Apache. With the upgrade the /usr/share/trac/cgi-bin/trac.cgi in

#snip
ScriptAlias /trac /usr/share/trac/cgi-bin/trac.cgi
#snap

was gone. Sad but true.

So I’ve searched through the files that came with trac.
dpkg -L trac

It seems that everything moved to /usr/share/pyshared/trac, but still no trac.cgi. After a little bit more searching the file /usr/share/pyshared/trac/web/cgi_frontend.py came up.

By changing the rights to 755
chmod 755 /usr/share/pyshared/trac/web/cgi_frontend.py
and replacing the ScriptAlias with
ScriptAlias /trac /usr/share/pyshared/trac/web/cgi_frontend.py
it worked like a charm and trac showed up, telling me to do a
trac /path/to/project upgrade
on my project. After that everything was ready, yay!

    hi! i got this error:

    [Tue Mar 17 15:58:45 2009] [error] [client 192.168.1.1] access to /usr/share/pyshared/trac/web/cgi_frontend.py failed, reason: SSL connection required, referer: http://halbgasse.at/ase

    my provider dont allow https (ssl) :/
    so what should i do?

    I can only guess. Do you have access to the apache-config?
    If so, and you have no way to set up a ssl-connection, make sure there is no SSLRequireSSL (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_ssl.html#sslrequiressl) or anything similiar in it.

    You have an error:

    wrong: trac /path/to/project upgrade
    right: trac-admin /path/to/project upgrade

    you need to replace the “trac” command with the “trac-admin” command

    But anyway, thanks for this nice hint!
