Pretty URLs with mod_rewrite

[Carsten Fuchs]

Dear trac-devs,

sorry to bug you here, but I'm still looking for help with pretty Trac URLs with mod_rewrite as
described at

http://groups.google.com/group/trac-users/browse_thread/thread/7f4db979765c4472
and
http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/2299

So far, I unfortunately got no reply at trac-users and no reply from in...@edgewall.com.

As the work-around that I posted in comment 15 of ticket 2299 doesn't work with fcgi, and I'm
still very much interested in pretty URLs for Trac, could you please help me in the matter?
Alternatively, could you refer me to commercial Trac support?

Thank you very much, and best regards,
Carsten

I have been following your questions, but unfortunately I don't have a
solution using mod_rewrite. My Trac installations are set up using
<Location> sections and mod_python, so I don't know if this also applies
to fcgi. Here's one:

<Location "/dev">
SetHandler mod_python
PythonInterpreter main_interpreter
PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend
PythonOption TracEnv /var/lib/trac/dev
PythonOption TracLocale "en_US.iso8859-1"
PythonOption PYTHON_EGG_CACHE /var/lib/trac/egg-cache
</Location>

This automatically gives nice URLs. Obviously, you need access to the
master Apache configuration, as <Location> is not supported in .htaccess
files. The same applies to solutions using ScriptAlias.

It seems like none of the developers have had to use mod_rewrite, and
nobody has contributed a solid fix. Sorry about that.

I asked my Trac hoster to make the appropriate change in the httpd.conf, and fortunately these
great guys implemented it very quickly - http://trac.cafu.de works perfectly with pretty URLs
now and I'm happy (and ready to continue with configuration and learning more about Trac). :-D

Yes... I'll thus leave http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/2299 in the reopened state. If I can
somehow help to get this fixed, just let me know please, I'd be happy to do whatever I can.

Again many thanks, and best regards,
