Yes, TRAC is a bit (or more) of a pain to install for Windows. Just like it's easier to set up a Windows box to watch a video or something than it is on Linux, it's easier to install integrated open source packages on Linux than it is on Windows. There are two reasons for this: 1) Windows simply does not provide the tools to make this kind of thing easy: package managers, good built-in scripting tools, and a standard system compiler. 2) Many (most) open source projects like TRAC, Apache and Subversion are developed on and used on *nix systems far more than Windows, so the install procedures and docs simply are not as polished. The best tool for the job, I say, and Windows may be the best tool for office workers and maybe home desktops, but it's really not the best system for an application server like TRAC. That being said, TRAC is built on tools that are all well supported across platforms, so once you have it up and running, you should be all set, and it is a pretty easy to use and administer system. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer Emergency Response Division NOAA/NOS/OR&R (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception [email protected] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
