Hi!
The past week John, asked about a few weird problems configuring
Trac with Cherokee using FastCGI, so here is a quick update on how
to configure it.
First of all, you have to run Cherokee >= 0.4.31b18 (or SVN 228). I
have committed a few changes needed for executing it properly.
So, lets go.. lets get moving. The first thing is let Trac know that
we want to execute a FastCGI server. Actually, this is a little
issue that we will have to work out; by default Trac tries to use a
tricky FastCGI mechanism that is disabled in Cherokee by default.
In order to fix the default Trac behaviour we will need to edit its
fcgi_frontend.py file. In my distribution it is placed in:
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/trac/web/fcgi_frontend.py
Inside the "run" function, at the beginning of the file, we have to
replace: "_fcgi.Server(_handler).run()" by:
_fcgi.Server(_handler, bindAddress=("localhost", 8000)).run()
We are basically telling the Trac where we want the FastCGI server
to listen. (Yeah, believe it or not, there isn't a command line
parameter <sigh!>)
Now, it is time to configure Cherokee. This is the small
configuration file that I have used for my tests. Note the order of
the entries, it is very important (remember, the precedence is
defined by it, the last entry is the highest priority).
=========
Documentroot /var/www/
Directory / {
Handler common
}
Directory /trac {
Handler fcgi {
ErrorHandler on
CheckFile off
Server localhost:8000 {
Env TRAC_ENV "/var/projects/test1"
Interpreter "/usr/share/trac/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi"
}
}
}
Request "^/trac/[^/]+/chrome/common/(.*)$" {
Handler redir {
Show Rewrite "/trac/chrome/common/$1"
}
}
Directory /trac/chrome/common {
Handler file
DocumentRoot /usr/share/trac/htdocs/
}
=========
And, that is all!
By the way, it worth using FastCGI rather than CGI for Trac, it is
way faster. Enjoy! :-)
