+= Trac and mod_python
+
+Mod_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.
 Trac 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.
 
-These instructions are for Apache 2; if you are still using Apache 1.3, you may have some luck with [wiki:TracModPython2.7 TracModPython2.7].

+== Simple configuration: single project #Simpleconfiguration
 
 If you just installed mod_python, you may have to add a line to load the module in the Apache configuration:
-{{{
+{{{#!apache
 LoadModule python_module modules/mod_python.so
 }}}
 
-''Note: The exact path to the module depends on how the HTTPD installation is laid out.''

+
+On Debian using apt-get:
+{{{#!sh
 apt-get install libapache2-mod-python libapache2-mod-python-doc
 }}}
-(Still on Debian) after you have installed mod_python, you must enable the modules in apache2 (equivalent of the above Load Module directive):
-{{{
-a2enmod mod_python

-You can test your mod_python installation by adding the following to your httpd.conf.  You should remove this when you are done testing for security reasons. Note: mod_python.testhandler is only available in mod_python 3.2+.

-A simple setup of Trac on mod_python looks like this:
-{{{

-   PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend 
-   PythonOption TracEnv /var/trac/myproject
-   PythonOption TracUriRoot /projects/myproject
-</Location>
-}}}
-
-The option '''`TracUriRoot`''' may or may not be necessary in your setup. Try your configuration without it; if the URLs produced by Trac look wrong, if Trac does not seem to recognize URLs correctly, or you get an odd "No handler matched request to..." error, add the '''`TracUriRoot`''' option.  You will notice that the `Location` and '''`TracUriRoot`''' have the same path.

-=== Python Egg Cache ===
-
-Compressed python eggs like Genshi are normally extracted into a directory named `.python-eggs` in the users home directory. Since apache's home usually is not writable an alternate egg cache directory can be specified like this:
-{{{
-PythonOption PYTHON_EGG_CACHE /var/trac/myprojects/egg-cache
-}}}
-
-=== Configuring Authentication ===
-
-Creating password files and configuring authentication works similar to the process for [wiki:TracCgi#AddingAuthentication CGI]:
-{{{
-#!xml
-<Location /projects/myproject/login>
-  AuthType Basic
-  AuthName "myproject"
-  AuthUserFile /var/trac/myproject/.htpasswd
-  Require valid-user
-</Location>
-}}}
-
-Configuration for mod_ldap authentication in Apache is a bit tricky (httpd 2.2.x and OpenLDAP: slapd 2.3.19)
-
-1. You need to load the following modules in Apache httpd.conf
-{{{
-LoadModule ldap_module modules/mod_ldap.so
-LoadModule authnz_ldap_module modules/mod_authnz_ldap.so
-}}}
-
-2. Your httpd.conf also needs to look something like:
-
-{{{
-#!xml
-<Location /trac/>
   SetHandler mod_python
   PythonInterpreter main_interpreter
-  PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend
-  PythonOption TracEnv /home/trac/
-  PythonOption TracUriRoot /trac/
-  Order deny,allow
-  Deny from all
-  Allow from 192.168.11.0/24
-  AuthType Basic
-  AuthName "Trac"
-  AuthBasicProvider "ldap"
-  AuthLDAPURL "ldap://127.0.0.1/dc=example,dc=co,dc=ke?uid?sub?(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)"
-  authzldapauthoritative Off
-  require valid-user
-</Location>
-}}}
-
-Or the LDAP interface to a Microsoft Active Directory:
-
-{{{
-#!xml
-<Location /trac/>

+  # For Apache 2.2
+  <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
+    Order allow,deny
+    Allow from all
+  </IfModule>
+  # For Apache 2.4
+  <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
+    Require all granted
+  </IfModule>
+</Location>
+}}}
+
+A simple setup of Trac on mod_python looks like this:
+{{{#!apache
+<Location /projects/myproject>
   SetHandler mod_python
   PythonInterpreter main_interpreter
-  PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend
-  PythonOption TracEnv /home/trac/
-  PythonOption TracUriRoot /trac/
-  Order deny,allow
-  Deny from all
-  Allow from 192.168.11.0/24
-  AuthType Basic
-  AuthName "Trac"
-  AuthBasicProvider "ldap"
-  AuthLDAPURL "ldap://adserver.company.com:3268/DC=company,DC=com?sAMAccountName?sub?(objectClass=user)"
-  AuthLDAPBindDN       ldap-auth-user@company.com
-  AuthLDAPBindPassword "the_password"
-  authzldapauthoritative Off
-  # require valid-user
-  require ldap-group CN=Trac Users,CN=Users,DC=company,DC=com
-</Location>
-}}}
-
-Note 1: This is the case where the LDAP search will get around the multiple OUs, conecting to Global Catalog Server portion of AD (Notice the port is 3268, not the normal LDAP 389). The GCS is basically a "flattened" tree which allows searching for a user without knowing to which OU they belong.
-
-Note 2: Active Directory requires an authenticating user/password to access records (AuthLDAPBindDN and AuthLDAPBindPassword).
-
-Note 3: The directive "require ldap-group ..."  specifies an AD group whose members are allowed access.
-
-
-
-=== Setting the !PythonPath ===
-
-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:
-{{{
-#!xml
+  PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend 
+  PythonOption TracEnv /var/trac/myproject
+  PythonOption TracUriRoot /projects/myproject
+  # For Apache 2.2
+  <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
+    Order allow,deny
+    Allow from all
+  </IfModule>
+  # For Apache 2.4
+  <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
+    Require all granted
+  </IfModule>
+</Location>
+}}}
+
+The option '''`TracUriRoot`''' may or may not be necessary in your setup. Try your configuration without it; if the URLs produced by Trac look wrong, if Trac does not seem to recognize URLs correctly, or you get an odd "No handler matched request to..." error, add the '''`TracUriRoot`''' option. You will notice that the `Location` and '''`TracUriRoot`''' have the same path.
+
+The options available are:
+{{{#!apache
+# For a single project
+PythonOption TracEnv /var/trac/myproject

+PythonOption TracEnvIndexTemplate /srv/www/htdocs/trac/project_list_template.html
+
+# A space delimitted list, with a "," between key and value pairs.
+PythonOption TracTemplateVars key1,val1 key2,val2

+# Useful to get the date in the wanted order
+PythonOption TracLocale en_GB.UTF8
+
+# See description above        
+PythonOption TracUriRoot /projects/myproject
+}}}
+
+=== Python Egg Cache
+
+Compressed Python eggs like Genshi are normally extracted into a directory named `.python-eggs` in the users home directory. Since Apache's home usually is not writeable, an alternate egg cache directory can be specified like this:
+{{{#!apache
+PythonOption PYTHON_EGG_CACHE /var/trac/myprojects/egg-cache
+}}}
+
+Or you can uncompress the Genshi egg to resolve problems extracting from it.
+
+=== Configuring Authentication

+See corresponding section in the [wiki:TracModWSGI#ConfiguringAuthentication] page.
+
+== Advanced Configuration
+
+=== Setting the Python Egg Cache
+
+If the Egg Cache isn't writeable by your Web server, you'll either have to change the permissions, or point Python to a location where Apache can write. This can manifest itself as a `500 internal server error` and/or a complaint in the syslog.

 This does not seem to work in all cases. What you can do if it does not:
- * Try using `<LocationMatch>` instead of `<Location>`
- * <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).
-
-For a virtual host that supports multiple projects replace "`TracEnv`" /var/trac/myproject with "`TracEnvParentDir`" /var/trac/

 === Expat-related segmentation faults === #expat
 
 This problem will most certainly hit you on Unix when using Python 2.4.
-In Python 2.4, some version of Expat (an XML parser library written in C) is used, 
-and if Apache is using another version, this results in segmentation faults.
-As 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.
-
-See Graham Dumpleton's detailed [http://www.dscpl.com.au/wiki/ModPython/Articles/ExpatCausingApacheCrash explanation and workarounds] for the issue.
-
-=== Form submission problems ===
+In 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.
+As 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.
+
+=== Form submission problems
 
 If 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.
 
-=== Problem with virtual host configuration ===
-
-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).
-
-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.

+
+=== Problem with zipped egg
+
+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 this, try installing Trac using the `--always-unzip` option:
+
+{{{#!sh
+easy_install --always-unzip Trac-0.12b1.zip
+}}}
+
+=== Using .htaccess
 
 Although 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.
 
-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. :)

-You may encounter segfaults (reported on debian etch) if php5-mhash module is installed. Try to remove it to see if this solves the problem. See debian bug report [[http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=411487]]

-Some people also have troubles when using php5 compiled with its own 3rd party libraries instead of system libraries. Check here [[http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/modpython/#if-you-get-a-segmentation-fault]]
