Using Apache without root privileges

Hello:
I am trying to use Trac on a system that I don't have root access on.
There is an Apache web server running, but I don't think I can edit
the configuration file as it explains in the instructions:

http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracCgi

So, is it possible to use Trac with an Apache web server without
administrator privileges? If so, are there instructions somewhere?

I am new to Trac and don't have any experience with Apache, so I would
appreciate any help!

Thanks
Milad

Look up one of the "How to install Trac on dreamhost (or other shared
hosting)" guides. The basic idea is to set DirectoryIndex to trac.fcgi in a
.htaccess file. You will need to export any environment variables in the
FCGI script itself, though 0.11 already does this for you if you use the
trac-admin deploy scripts.

Re: Using Apache without root privileges [In reply to]

Thanks, that helped a lot. Now the trac page loads, but I have another
problem. The following message is at the top of the trac page:

Warning: Can't synchronize with the repository (Unsupported version
control system "svn". Check that the Python support libraries for
"svn" are correctly installed.)

I am pretty sure that I don't have python bindings for subversion
installed, because when I try:

import svn

I just get an error. So where can I go to get the python bindings for
subversion? I found the pysvn project at:

http://pysvn.tigris.org/docs/pysvn.html

But the python module for that project is pysvn, not svn...Is that the
correct module to install?

Thanks
Milad

I am not sure what system you are running python on, however starting
here http://subversion.tigris.org
under the section "Get Subversion"

you can get to the downloads for all the OS's.

so, for example, I am going to assume windows:
clicked on windows binaries (cuz well, it's windows)
then, I am running apache 2.2, so there is another link from there for
binareis built against apache 2.2
which ultimately gets me to http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=8100
under there, there are source, zip, and binary installer version of
subversion 1.4.6, 1.5.0, subversion python bindings for subversion
1.4.6 and python 2.4, bindings for subversion 1.4.6 and python 2.5,
subversion python bindings for subversion 1.5.0 and python 2.4, and
the python 2.5 bindinges for 1.5.0 subversion (among other things)

finally, I noticed this today when looking at the 1.5.0 subversion
download, it won't work with apache 2.0, and requires apache 2.2.9 or
higher for the 2.2.x family.

hope that helps

pysvn is a different, incompatible library on top of SVN native libraries.

Trac needs the SWIG-generated wrappers that come w/ the official
Subversion release.

one follow up here, I did managed to hunt down something I missed, or
didn't work correcly on my install.

the file ssleay32.dll didn't make it form the subversion (1.5
binaries) into the site-packages\libsvn of python somehow and was
causing all kinds of havoc.

specifically the "unsupported ...." error message. simply put, my
first test from command line was:
python
>>import svn
worked just fine
but:
>>from subversion import core
gave a libeay32.dll error after a few hours of "upgrading" all the
versions of that dll floating around my system it didn't work, I
remembered something about sll along the way, and stumbled to some
site about copying libeay32 and ssleay32.dll to the apache bin
directory, and ultimately noticed the ssleay32.dll was not presenet in
the libsvn directory (do NOT ask me to mind map the process, I really
have NO idea how I got from point A to point B)

If that helps
