Pretty Trac URLs - how are the page and cookie URLs properly set?

[Carsten Fuchs]

Dear Trac group,

I have a Trac instance running at

http://web278.server07.lcube-server.de/trac-cafu/htdocs/

and a .htaccess file according to http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracPrettyUrls at the root
directory http://web278.server07.lcube-server.de/ :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ trac-cafu/htdocs/trac.fcgi/$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^$ trac-cafu/htdocs/trac.fcgi [L]

This works as expected, for example
http://web278.server07.lcube-server.de/about
is internally rewritten to
http://web278.server07.lcube-server.de/trac-cafu/htdocs/trac.fcgi/about

However - and here is the problem - the cookie and the URLs in the website all contain the
unwanted "trac-cafu/htdocs/trac.fcgi/" part. The above Wiki page doesn't mention anything on how
this could be fixed.

Despite a search of the Wiki and mailing-list, I've not been able to find the proper place where
this part of the cookie and page URLs can be set - any help would much be welcome!

Thank you very much,
and best regards,
Carsten

I've been updating the URLs, the Trac instance is now available at

http://trac.cafu.de

and the .htaccess file at that location is:

# Quelle: http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracPrettyUrls
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ trac.fcgi/$1 [QSA,L]

# RewriteRule ^$ trac.fcgi [L]

While the rewriting itself continues to work, the core problem remains:
The "trac.fcgi" part of the URL is generated in all page links.

I've been able to find some related websites and tickets:
http://natmaster.com/articles/installing_trac_0.10.php
http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/2299
http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/8328
but no matter what I try, the script name continues to appear in the page links.
I've tried to override os.environ['SCRIPT_PATH'], os.environ['SCRIPT_URL'] and a few more in
trac.fcgi, but to no avail.

Any ideas?

Best regards,

[Olemis Lang]

Perhaps there is an option in trac.ini [project] that allows you to
set the base URL of the environment ... ?

Well, here is the relevant excerpt from my (unmodified) trac.ini:

[project]
admin_trac_url = .
url = http://trac.cafu.de

[trac]
base_url = http://trac.cafu.de

(The documenation at <http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracIni> doesn't seem to suggest that the
script name is related to these settings...(?))

Best regards,
Carsten

Hello Carsten,

Looks like you managed to solve this problem. I don't see trac.fcgi
entries in your URLs at http://trac.cafu.de/
Could you please tell us what did you do to achieve this? I am
currently facing the exactly same issue with my Trac setup.

Thanks

Hi,

See
<http://groups.google.com/group/trac-dev/t/861fad676393bfbf>
and the links mentioned there, especially
<http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/2299>

My hoster was so kind as to make the appropriate settings in the global httpd.conf, which solved the
problem for me. I never got the purely .htaccess based solution to work, leaving ticket 2299 open.
