Description Dennis Schridde 2007-08-14 13:56:11 UTC 
When Lighttpd is setup with FastCGI to have Trac in the rootdir, PATH_INFO and SCRIPT_NAME will be set wrongly (by Lighttpd) and thus Trac will thing "projectname" in the request "/projectname" is the SCRIPT_NAME and no environment was specified.

Sample setup:
    $HTTP["url"] =~ "^(?!/chrome)" {
        fastcgi.server = (
            "/" => (
                "trac" => (
...

A patch was provided by thatch in #trac on FreeNode (attached).
The bug is known to both Trac and Lighttpd:

http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/ticket/729

Reproducible: Always

PS: TRAC_LIGHTTPD_ROOT_WORKAROUND should be set to "/" if you want to run Trac in the root of the server.

As the upstream bug for www-apps/trac was WONTFIXed since it's a bug in lighttpd, I'm closing it here as well. File a bug about lighttpd if you wish, or you'll need to fix this on your overlay. We won't merge patches that upstream refused.

Sorry.
