tracd not starting when using Auth

[Deniz Yalcin]

Hello Everyone,

I'm having an issue starting the Environment while using an authentication method. 

The command to start the environment is following:
tracd -p 8000 --auth="C:\tracprojects, C:\tracprojects,Company.com" C:\tracprojects

On Start it produces an Error in the CMD:
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\tracprojects'

Im using the Standalone Trac Server with version 1.4.3

Im executing the cmd as Administrator and the account has highest privilege. Am i missing something here?

In the comma-separated auth string, argument 1 must be a Trac environment directory, argument 2 must be the path to the htdigest password file:

Dear Ryan,

Apologize, i havent realised that the File itself needs to be stated in the argument:  tracd -p 8000 --auth="C:\tracprojects, C:\tracprojects\trac.htdigest,Company.com" C:\tracprojects

Like this it worked and i could also create and write a User into the file through Trac.  However i noticed that when clicking on the Login Page, i get the usual error when the authentication is not set up.
Authentication information not available. Please refer to the installation documentation.
But i followed the instructions from:
https://trac-hacks.org/wiki/AccountManagerPlugin/AuthStores#HtDigestStore

https://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracStandalone#UsingAuthentication
Am i Missing something?

Is "C:\tracprojects" a Trac environment directory? I would guess based on the name that it is a directory that contains environments, like:

C:\tracprojects\environment1

C:\tracprojects\environment2

...

If it's an environment directory it should contain these files:

VERSION    conf/      files/     log/       templates/

README     cache/     db/        htdocs/    plugins/ 

If not, change the first argument in the string to point to the Trac environment directory rather than its parent.

"C:\tracprojects" is the Environment, since it has all the contents inside.  It also contains all the files mentioned above :


Maybe my folder structure is not correct?

Should be:

tracd -p 8000 --auth="tracprojects,C:\tracprojects\trac.htdigest,Company.com"
C:\tracprojects

about the argument:
