When deploying TRAC integrated with Subversion (SVN), TRAC doesn't open any page at all

[Lucas Fragomeni]

I've deployed trac using apache/mod_wsgi (no SSL) (preferable, since
the
problem I'm facing with CGI is performance), and it works fine WITHOUT
SVN
integration. But I actually need SVN, so when I configure the
repository
path (i.e: repository_dir = c:/projects/svn/my_project) I can't even
get my
project TRAC to even open any of its pages.

On Mozilla Firefox shows a white page and on MS-IE shows a 'The page
cannot
be displayed' error as if the server has 'timed out'.

I've tried with mod_python (3.3.1) and the exact same problem happens.
It
works fine with CGI though.

I've also tried disabeling SVN authentication, thinking it might be a
authentication conflict (I'm using Apache Basic Auth).

Environment:
- Win 2000 Server SP 4;
- Apache 2.2.10;
- Python 2.5.2;
- mod_wsgi revision 1018 2.3, py25_apache22;
- Trac 0.12dev;
- Subversion 1.5.3.

Configuration files:

- Apache httpd.conf excerpt:
---------
WSGIScriptAlias /trac "c:/projects/apache/trac.wsgi"

<Directory c:/projects/apache>
WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>
---------

- trac.wsgi:
---------
import sys
sys.stdout = sys.stderr

import os
os.environ['TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR'] = 'c:/projects/trac'
os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE'] = 'c:/projects/eggs'

import trac.web.main

application = trac.web.main.dispatch_request
---------

- trac.ini excerpt:
---------
repository_type = svn
repository_dir = c:/projects/svn/my_project
---------

Thanks,

Please, enable logging, repeat the steps, and post the contents of the
log file back so as to know what is happenning in the background ...
;)

This may be a good idea ... ;)

Solved!

I've aligned the SVN's dlls versions used by Apache and Python to the
versions avaliable here: http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=8100
Also followed the instructions for SVN as mentioned here:
http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracInstall#VersionControlSystem

Step-by-step:
1. Updated my Subversion to v1.5.5, Win32 binaries for Apache 2.2.x
(avaliable at http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/44589/svn-win32-1.5.5.zip).
1.1 Erased my old subversion and expanded the new one;
1.2 Put the new one on the system path, so that Apache can see SVN
dlls;
1.3 Copyied 'mod_dav_svn.so' and 'mod_authz_svn.so' to Apache's
modules directory.

2. Updated the Python 2.5 bindings for Subversion on Win32 (avaliable
at http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/44591/svn-win32-1.5.5_py.zip).
2.1 Copyied the files from '\libsvn' to 'c:\Python25\Lib\...\libsvn
2.2 Followed the instructions to rename the libsvn/*.dll files to .pyd
(since python 2.5 no longer reads dlls);

3. Updated the Python 2.5 bindings installer for Win32 (avaliable at
http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/44597/svn-python-1.5.5.win32-py2.5.exe).
3.1 Installed the 'exe';

4. Restarted my windows.

Just for the record... it didn't exactly happend in this order, nor it
happend peacefully. I've spent the whole day strugling with
different .zips/.exes/.dlls/.sos. So be sure to align SVN amongst all
envolved parts before giving up that sollution.

Result: It worked and my Trac/SVN performance improved dramatically.

Actually, I had more problems after modifying my subversion
repository. It stopped working again, with the same behaviour. So I
tryied to 'resync' (since there was a log message regarding a
differente revision from the cache) but nothing.

So I uninstalled everything and reinstalled it (including Apache),
followed the step-by-step above PLUS:

- Run a resync (trac-admin c:\projects\myproject resync) on my
project;
- Erased subversion's dlls installed by 'Python 2.5 bindings
installer for Win32' from 'c:\Python25\Lib\site...\libsvn' and copyied
subversion's dlls from 'c:\svn-win32-1.5.5\bin' to over it.

It worked (so far).

Any changes I'll notify.
