Ubuntu install trac 0.12.2

[Bogdan Stanciu]

Hi there,

I just wanted to share this page (not mine, maybe is well known, but I
just found it today) which brought me back on trac[ks] :-)

I was unable to install following the wiki, however this instructions
work like a charm (or almost):

http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/Ubuntu-10.04-Bazaar

the end is for bazaar, but I got stuck well before that in my previous
attempts.

however, I noticed that during the install process, the command

trac-admin /var/tracprojects/newproject permission add admin TRAC_ADMIN

ends in error:

TimeoutError: Unable to get database connection within 0 seconds.
(TracError(u'Database "/var/tracprojects/newproject/db/trac.db" not
found.',))

it seems that trac-admin is looking for a SQLite db, while I use a mySQL db.

any suggestions?

thank you!
Bogdan

ubuntu 10.10
mySQL
py 2.6
apache 2
trac 0.12.2

PS I did manage to add the record to the db (via mySQL console) I am
just wandering whether this is a bug, or else.

What was the problem, exactly?

Yes, check the permissions of your trac.ini file, it should be readable
by the user under which you're running the trac-admin command.

I know it is not "serious" from my side, but I can't really recall (it
happened a few months ago, when switched to ubuntu) I did not use trac
since, but today I decided to give it another try, and it worked with
those instructions I mentioned. I remember getting errors or code
instead of trac homepage. I appologise for the lack of precision.

It has read/write acces for the user www-data. I admit this is the only
thing I did not check ("who" is www-data:-)) but all the rest works. the
initenv did write the db info into trac.ini, for example.

actually, not "all" the rest works, as I get a simillar error when trying
trac-admin /var/tracprojects/xxx repository resync "xxxx-repo"

TimeoutError: Unable to get database connection within 0 seconds.

(TracError(u'Database "/var/tracprojects/xxx/db/trac.db" not found.',))
after adding a new repo (I just wrote about this on the dev list)

do I miss anything?

i just find out that www-data is a group (which includes my username,
btw)... it should be the apache group, according to the instructions...

I manually changed the permissions and it works... somehow it got just
the "owner" r/w, but the "group" and "others" were set to No Access.
only for trac.ini.
