Hi all,

I wanted to share the experience I had installing Trac on a WinXP machine. I 
assume I am not the only one, but I found no information on the site about  
this situation.

1) Install python from 2.4 
http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4.4/python-2.4.4.msi
2) Install ClearSilver from 
http://www.clearsilver.net/downloads/win32/clearsilver-0.9.14.win32-py2.4.exe
3) (svn and toroise were already installed no?)

Now the tricky thing is to find out where trac has been installed, since no 
documentation is available about this issue. It's in c:\pthyon24\scripts. 

Creating a project is like on Unix, with the difference  that python is not on 
the path, and you cannot execute those scripts directly, which means you 
should create a project with a command similar to this:

c:\python24\bin\phytonw c:\python24\scritps\tracadmin create...

Then to start the damon, I used a simple batch file:
----------------------------------
@echo off

set TRAC_PORT=8080
set TRAC_DIR=e:\trac\project
set TRAC_AUTH=e:\trac\project.htdigest

set PYTHONDIR=c:\python24
set PATH=%PATH%;%PYTHONDIR%

start pythonw %PYTHONDIR%\scripts\tracd --port %TRAC_PORT% --auth 
*,%TRAC_AUTH%,qtedit4 %TRAC_DIR%
----------------------------------

Then, to start the daemon I added this script to the startup directory in the 
Start Menu. I am not really happy with this, but I am looking for better 
alternatives.  

What I found is that this setup is kinda slow for the first queries, but then 
it becomes usable. I also found that running some pages will open a terminal 
on the XP desktop for a split of a second. 

I would like to know if anyone else experimented with a similar setup.
