     3= Trac and mod_python
     4
     5Mod_python is an [https://httpd.apache.org/ Apache] module that embeds the Python interpreter within the server, so that web-based applications in Python will run many times faster than traditional CGI and will have the ability to retain database connections.
    46Trac supports [http://www.modpython.org/ mod_python], which speeds up Trac's response times considerably, especially compared to [TracCgi CGI], and permits use of many Apache features not possible with [wiki:TracStandalone tracd]/mod_proxy.

    9 As of 16^th^ June 2010, the mod_python project is officially dead.  If you are considering using mod_python for a new installation, '''please don't'''!  There are known issues which will not be fixed and there are now better alternatives.  Check out the main TracInstall pages for your target version for more information.

    117 === Setting the !PythonPath ===
    118 
    119 If the Trac installation isn't installed in your Python path, you'll have to tell Apache where to find the Trac mod_python handler  using the `PythonPath` directive:

    131 === Setting up multiple projects ===
     135=== Setting up multiple projects
    132136
    133137The Trac mod_python handler supports a configuration option similar to Subversion's `SvnParentPath`, called `TracEnvParentDir`:
    134 {{{
    135 #!xml
     138{{{#!apache
    136139<Location /projects>

     151{{{#!apache
    150152<LocationMatch "/.+/">
    151153}}}
     
    154156
    155157You can also use the same authentication realm for all of the projects using a `<LocationMatch>` directive:
    156 {{{
    157 #!xml
     158{{{#!apache
    158159<LocationMatch "/projects/[^/]+/login">

    164165}}}
    165166
    166 === Virtual Host Configuration ===
    167 
    168 Below is the sample configuration required to set up your trac as a virtual server (i.e. when you access it at the URLs like
    169 !http://trac.mycompany.com):
    170 
    171 {{{
    172 #!xml
    173 <VirtualHost * >
     167=== Virtual Host Configuration
     168
     169Below is the sample configuration required to set up your Trac as a virtual server, ie when you access it at the URLs like
     170`http://trac.mycompany.com`:
     171
     172{{{#!apache
     173<VirtualHost *>
    174174    DocumentRoot /var/www/myproject
    175175    ServerName trac.mycompany.com
     
    191191
    192192This does not seem to work in all cases. What you can do if it does not:
    193  * Try using `<LocationMatch>` instead of `<Location>`
    194  * <Location /> may, in your server setup, refer to the complete host instead of simple the root of the server. This means that everything (including the login directory referenced below) will be sent to python and authentication does not work (i.e. you get the infamous Authentication information missing error). If this applies to you, try using a sub-directory for trac instead of the root (i.e. /web/ and /web/login instead of / and /login).
     193 * Try using `<LocationMatch>` instead of `<Location>`.
     194 * `<Location />` may, in your server setup, refer to the complete host instead of simple the root of the server.

If this is the case, try using a sub-directory for Trac instead of the root, ie /web/ and /web/login instead of / and /login.
    195195 * Depending on apache's `NameVirtualHost` configuration, you may need to use `<VirtualHost *:80>` instead of `<VirtualHost *>`.
    196196
    197 For a virtual host that supports multiple projects replace "`TracEnv`" /var/trac/myproject with "`TracEnvParentDir`" /var/trac/
    198 
    199 Note: !DocumentRoot should not point to your Trac project env. As Asmodai wrote on #trac: "suppose there's a webserver bug that allows disclosure of !DocumentRoot they could then leech the entire Trac environment".
    200 
    201 == Troubleshooting ==
    202 
    203 In general, if you get server error pages, you can either check the Apache error log, or enable the `PythonDebug` option:
    204 {{{
    205 #!xml

     214
    215215If you've used `<Location />` directive, it will override any other directives, as well as `<Location /login>`.
    216216The workaround is to use negation expression as follows (for multi project setups):
    217 {{{
    218 #!xml
     217{{{#!apache
    219218#this one for other pages
    220219<Location ~ "/*(?!login)">

    247246
    248247This problem will most certainly hit you on Unix when using Python 2.4.
    249 In Python 2.4, some version of Expat (an XML parser library written in C) is used,
    250 and if Apache is using another version, this results in segmentation faults.
    251 As Trac 0.11 is using Genshi, which will indirectly use Expat, that problem
    252 can now hit you even if everything was working fine before with Trac 0.10.
    253 
    254 See Graham Dumpleton's detailed [http://www.dscpl.com.au/wiki/ModPython/Articles/ExpatCausingApacheCrash explanation and workarounds] for the issue.
    255 
    256 === Form submission problems ===
     248In Python 2.4, some version of [http://expat.sourceforge.net/ Expat] (an XML parser library written in C) is used and if Apache is using another version, this results in segmentation faults.
     249As Trac 0.11 is using Genshi, which will indirectly use Expat, that problem can now hit you even if everything was working fine before with Trac 0.10. This problem has not been reported for Python 2.5+, so best to upgrade.
     250
     251=== Form submission problems
    257252
    258253If you're experiencing problems submitting some of the forms in Trac (a common problem is that you get redirected to the start page after submission), check whether your {{{DocumentRoot}}} contains a folder or file with the same path that you mapped the mod_python handler to. For some reason, mod_python gets confused when it is mapped to a location that also matches a static resource.
    259254
    260 === Problem with virtual host configuration ===
    261 
    262 If the <Location /> directive is used, setting the `DocumentRoot` may result in a ''403 (Forbidden)'' error. Either remove the `DocumentRoot` directive, or make sure that accessing the directory it points is allowed (in a corresponding `<Directory>` block).
    263 
    264 Using <Location /> together with `SetHandler` resulted in having everything handled by mod_python, which leads to not being able download any CSS or images/icons. I used <Location /trac> `SetHandler None` </Location> to circumvent the problem, though I do not know if this is the most elegant solution.
    265 
    266 === Problem with zipped egg ===
    267 
    268 It's possible that your version of mod_python will not import modules from zipped eggs. If you encounter an `ImportError: No module named trac` in your Apache logs but you think everything is where it should be, this might be your problem. Look in your site-packages directory; if the Trac module appears as a ''file'' rather than a ''directory'', then this might be your problem. To rectify, try installing Trac using the `--always-unzip` option, like this:
    269

    275270
    276271Although it may seem trivial to rewrite the above configuration as a directory in your document root with a `.htaccess` file, this does not work. Apache will append a "/" to any Trac URLs, which interferes with its correct operation.
    277272
    278 It may be possible to work around this with mod_rewrite, but I failed to get this working. In all, it is more hassle than it is worth. Stick to the provided instructions. :)

    308 If you run trac with mod_python < 3.2 on Windows, uploading attachments will '''not''' work. This problem is resolved in mod_python 3.1.4 or later, so please upgrade mod_python to fix this.

     304If you run Trac with mod_python < 3.2 on Windows, uploading attachments will '''not''' work. This problem is resolved in mod_python 3.1.4 or later, so please upgrade mod_python to fix this.
     305
     306==== OS X issues
     307
     308When using mod_python on OS X you will not be able to restart Apache using `apachectl restart`. This is apparently fixed in mod_python 3.2, so please upgrade mod_python to fix this.
     309
     310==== SELinux issues
     311
     312If Trac reports something like: `Cannot get shared lock on db.lock`, then the security context on the repository may need to be set:
     313
     314{{{#!sh
    321315chcon -R -h -t httpd_sys_content_t PATH_TO_REPOSITORY
    322316}}}

    325 
    326 ==== FreeBSD issues ====
    327 Pay attention to the version of the installed mod_python and sqlite packages. Ports have both the new and old ones, but earlier versions of pysqlite and mod_python won't integrate as the former requires threaded support in python, and the latter requires a threadless install.
    328 
    329 If you compiled and installed apache2, apache wouldn´t support threads (cause it doesn´t work very well on FreeBSD). You could force thread support when running ./configure for apache, using --enable-threads, but this isn´t recommendable.
    330 The best option [http://modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2006-September/021983.html seems to be] adding to /usr/local/apache2/bin/ennvars the line

     320==== FreeBSD issues
     321
     322The FreeBSD ports have both the new and old versions of mod_python and SQLite, but earlier versions of pysqlite and mod_python won't integrate:
     323 * pysqlite requires threaded support in Python
     324 * mod_python requires a threadless install.
     325
     326Apache2 does not automatically support threads on FreeBSD. You could force thread support when running `./configure` for Apache, using `--enable-threads`, but this isn´t recommended.
     327The best option [http://modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2006-September/021983.html seems to be] adding to /usr/local/apache2/bin/ennvars the line:

    337 ==== Fedora 7 Issues ====
    338 Make sure you install the 'python-sqlite2' package as it seems to be required for TracModPython but not for tracd
    339 
    340 
    341 === Subversion issues ===
    342 
    343 If you get the following Trac Error `Unsupported version control system "svn"` only under mod_python, though it works well on the command-line and even with TracStandalone, chances are that you forgot to add the path to the Python bindings with the [TracModPython#ConfiguringPythonPath PythonPath] directive. (The better way is to add a link to the bindings in the Python `site-packages` directory, or create a `.pth` file in that directory.)
    344 
    345 If this is not the case, it's possible that you're using Subversion libraries that are binary incompatible with the apache ones (an incompatibility of the `apr` libraries is usually the cause). In that case, you also won't be able to use the svn modules for Apache (`mod_dav_svn`).
    346 
    347 You also need a recent version of `mod_python` in order to avoid a runtime error ({{{argument number 2: a 'apr_pool_t *' is expected}}}) due to the default usage of multiple sub-interpreters. 3.2.8 ''should'' work, though it's probably better to use the workaround described in [trac:#3371 #3371], in order to force the use of the main interpreter:

    351 This is anyway the recommended workaround for other well-known issues seen when using the Python bindings for Subversion within mod_python ([trac:#2611 #2611], [trac:#3455 #3455]). See in particular Graham Dumpleton's comment in [trac:comment:9:ticket:3455 #3455] explaining the issue.
    352 
    353 === Page layout issues ===
    354 
    355 If the formatting of the Trac pages look weird chances are that the style sheets governing the page layout are not handled properly by the web server. Try adding the following lines to your apache configuration:
    356 {{{
    357 #!xml

     350=== Page layout issues

     352If the formatting of the Trac pages look weird, chances are that the style sheets governing the page layout are not handled properly by the web server. Try adding the following lines to your Apache configuration:
     353{{{#!apache
    358354Alias /myproject/css "/usr/share/trac/htdocs/css"
    359355<Location /myproject/css>
     
    362358}}}
    363359
    364 Note: For the above configuration to have any effect it must be put after the configuration of your project root location, i.e. {{{<Location /myproject />}}}.
    365 
    366 Also, setting `PythonOptimize On` seems to mess up the page headers and footers, in addition to hiding the documentation for macros and plugins (see #Trac8956). Considering how little effect the option has, it is probably a good idea to leave it `Off`.
    367 
    368 === HTTPS issues ===
    369 
    370 If you want to run Trac fully under https you might find that it tries to redirect to plain http. In this case just add the following line to your apache configuration:
    371 {{{
    372 #!xml
    373 <VirtualHost * >
     360'''Note''': For the above configuration to have any effect it must be put after the configuration of your project root location, ie {{{<Location /myproject />}}}.
     361
     362**Note:** Do not enable python optimizations using the directive `PythonOptimize On`. When optimizations are enabled the page header/footer and documentation for macros and plugins will be hidden. An error will be raised in Trac 1.0.11 and later when optimizations are enabled.
