Well after reading over the docs a couple more times, I have to admit a lot of my confusion was due to not reading closely enough, trying to skim through and find what I needed to get the installation completed. Things I thought would be a separate section (installation of the webadmin plugin, etc..) were a single line in another section. I use OpenSUSE, and the TracInstallPlatforms for that look to be up to date. This page is one of the things I missed, which would have made things quite a bit easier than compiling everything from source as I did. My main point of confusion was user creation. Since I use apache and wanted to use mod-python, I read the appropriate page for authentication, which only mentioned that it worked similar to the CGI authentication: "Configuring Authentication Configuring authentication works just like for CGI: " Once I followed the CGI link (after a couple times reading the page), I found that covered user creation as well. In my mind, I was thinking authentication as in specifically checking username and password for login, not the process of creating users. I've changed that line to read: "Configuring Authentication Creating password files and configuring authentication works similar to the process for CGI:" Small change, but it might help clarify the process for a beginner like myself.
