emerge www-apps/trac installs ok, but tracd does not serve the static (image/CSS/JS) content - so pages display as white-screen, without formatting or styles. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge www-apps/trac 2.tracd -p 9999 3.firefox http://localhost:9999/ Actual Results: Unstyled page displayed Expected Results: Delivered static content from, for example, http://host:port/trac_common/trac_banner.png - so pages are styled Fixed with: $ ln -s /var/www/localhost/htdocs/trac /usr/share/trac/htdocs Reference: http://lists.edgewall.com/archive/trac/2005-September/004923.html
It definitely does serve images and CSS here without any symlinks, so you must have misconfigured the thing.
Ok - if you say so :-) My notes just say I did: # emerge www-apps/trac then created a project and ran $ nohup tracd -a projname,digestfile,realm -p 9090 <projdir> & In /usr/share/htdocs there were, after emerge: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 25 01:16 templates drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 25 01:16 wiki-default All worked fine when I added lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Sep 29 10:19 htdocs -> /var/www/localhost/htdocs/trac So I'm not clear what I messed up - but what the heck, just having the Trac subprojects integrated has been a real timesaver, if anyone else has the same problem they can read this thread :-) Thanks for your time on this. Thomas.
I had the same problem. Setting the symlink fixes it.
Can you try with 0.9_beta2?
I need to symlink /var/www/localhost/htdocs/trac to /usr/share/trac/htdocs to get the js, images, etc. on an install using trac-0.9
I still can't reproduce that bug with 0.9.3. I emerged trac-0.9.3, using USE="-cgi -enscript -fastcgi -postgres +silvercity +sqlite -vhosts". Trac installs itself in /var/www/localhost (webapp-config -I -h localhost -u root -d /trac trac 0.9.3), which does almost nothing (due to -cgi and -fastcgi). Now, as a simple user, I created a project (svnadmin create, followed by trac-admin initenv), and ran tracd (tracd -p 9999 project). Access to http://localhost:9999/project/ display the Trac homepage, with images, CSS and everything. No need to symlink. I even believe that /var/www/localhost isn't used at all with tracd, at least with 0.9.3.
I tested this with trac 0.9.4. Serving the static content from /usr/share/... with apache/lighttpd can be done easily. One can always use the alias-commands of the http server to do the correct "symbolic links". But tracd didn't want to show some parts of the static content. I even tried chmod 777 -R /usr/share/trac/htdocs chmod 777 -R /var/www/localhost/htdocs/trac and first copied htdocs from /usr/share/... to /var/www/... and then symlinked the directory. /projectname/chrome/common/trac.ico works, but /trac/trac_logo_mini.png and all the other files in /trac/ are inaccessible. In my webserver I've aliased these to another location - without aliases it's the same result there too.
Please, can you test with trac-0.9.6 and report?
No answer, closing.

I no longer use Trac (switched to Retrospectiva) but I just attempted a trac install in case I could confirm the bug as closed: # emerge www-apps/trac Then, as non-root user: $ cd /tmp $ trac-admin test and then press Enter for all prompts -- and I get: Creating and Initializing Project Failed to create environment. global name 'sqlite' is not defined Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/trac/scripts/admin.py", line 613, in do_initenv options=options) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/trac/env.py", line 124, in __init__ self.create(options) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/trac/env.py", line 229, in create DatabaseManager(self).init_db() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/trac/db/api.py", line 69, in init_db connector.init_db(**args) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/trac/db/sqlite_backend.py", line 121, in init_db cnx = sqlite.connect(path, timeout=int(params.get('timeout', 10000))) NameError: global name 'sqlite' is not defined Failed to initialize environment. 1 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/trac/scripts/admin.py", line 617, in do_initenv sys.exit(1) SystemExit: 1 dev-db/sqlite is installed: # emerge -pv www-apps/trac dev-db/sqlite These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

I can see that /usr/share/trac/htdocs/ has images and a css directory, so the original ticket is probably fixed.
Oops! My bad, I failed to notice that trac has -sqlite by default. Added www-apps/trac sqlite to /etc/portage/package.use and all is fine after re-emerge, I get CSS and images as expected. Bug confirmed closed in trac 0.10.3.1 -- Thomas.
Can you try with 0.11_beta1 as a last test ? htdocs location has changed again (it seems they are now located as a python package). tracd works fine here, but it has always worked fine, so I'm interested in your testing. Thanks.
(In reply to comment #12) > Can you try with 0.11_beta1 as a last test ? Had a quick look -- unmasked =www-apps/trac-0.11_beta2 in package.unmask and then unmasked www-apps/trac ** dev-python/pygments ** dev-python/genshi ** in package.keywords -- and now it saya it needs apache as a dependency :-( Sorry, but I'll have to defer on this one, project deadline looms... # emerge -pv trac These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

That's because you have USE +fastcgi, which makes trac depend on virtual/httpd-cgi. Apache is the default if no other web servers (see the virtual/httpd-cgi ebuild) is installed. You might also disable this use flag for testing with tracd, which is what this bug is about.

Thanks Julien. Bug confirmed fixed in 0.11_beta1. I've not set subversion or auth up, but can navigate the wiki ok, the Trac* documentation pages seem to work and CSS and images are sorted. If I were still using Trac I'd be overjoyed to have it packaged so smoothly ;-) For the record, to use 0.11_beta1 I needed: # /etc/portage/package.keywords: www-apps/trac ** dev-python/pygments ** dev-python/genshi ** # /etc/portage/package.use: www-apps/trac sqlite -fastcgi # /etc/portage/package.unmask: =www-apps/trac-0.11_beta1 Best regards, Thomas.
Fine, thanks for your report.
