Cool! This already seems to beat the crap out of http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracOnWindowsStandalone which can sink into Wiki history then :-) One question regarding the use of Python 2.4 though: Does anybody know for sure if the incompatibility issues with Apache, Subversion and it's Subversion bindings have gone away now? It sure would be nice to be able to use the TracOnWindows/Rewrite version as a first step and be able to add Apache as a second step. That was the intention when I initiated the Standalone page - but as you can tell I never got to finish this properly ... > The script will download and install Trac and it's basic dependencies > automatically.

Nice work you have done for us poor Windows users. Thanks Matt! I tried running the script and this is the feedback I have so far: A minor issue: I already had Python 2.3 in my path and thought I would test it by beeing a bit sloppy. So I just doubleclicked on the script. This resulted in the cmd window disappearing almost immediately before I was able to read the message about the need for Python 2.4. Maybe this could be fixed by detecting that pythonw.exe and not python.exe is running or just adding a prompt for the user to press a key or something. I then dropped to the command line and executed \Python24\python.exe trac-0.10b1-win32-install.py which seemed to download everything including trac as an unzipped egg as intended :-) BUT when running trac-admin initenv i bumped into a bit of *nix-ism where it as the default suggested the *nix path for the templates directory. I helped it past this by Templates directory [/usr/share/trac/templates]> D:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\trac-0.10b1-py2.4.egg\share\trac\templates but only to find it stumble again over: Creating and Initializing Project Installing default wiki pages Failed to initialize environment. [Errno 3] The system cannot find the path specified: '/usr/share/trac/wiki-default/*.*' Traceback (most recent call last): File "d:\python24\lib\site-packages\trac-0.10b1-py2.4.egg\trac\scripts\admin.py", line 621, in do_initenv self._do_wiki_load(default_dir('wiki'), cursor) File "d:\python24\lib\site-packages\trac-0.10b1-py2.4.egg\trac\scripts\admin.py", line 807, in _do_wiki_load for page in os.listdir(dir): WindowsError: [Errno 3] The system cannot find the path specified: '/usr/share/trac/wiki-default/*.*' I have not tried running the manual install steps yet but just by reading it through it looks OK. I assume that installing the Trac Windows .exe installer on top of everything would probably fix the issue with the experimental script mentioned above. I haven't verified that though - though is was better that I used my time on giving you some feedback on the script. cheers, -- JornH --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
