| | 31 | === Embedded SQLite Connection String === |
| | 32 | The connection string for an embedded SQLite database is: |
| | 33 | {{{ |
| | 34 | sqlite:db/trac.db |
| | 35 | }}} |
| | 36 | |
| | 37 | === PostgreSQL Connection String === |
| | 38 | If you want to use PostgreSQL or MySQL instead, you'll have to use a |
| | 39 | different connection string. For example, to connect to a PostgreSQL |
| | 40 | database on the same machine called `trac`, that allows access to the |
| | 41 | user `johndoe` with the password `letmein`, use: |
| | 42 | {{{ |
| | 43 | postgres://johndoe:letmein@localhost/trac |
| | 44 | }}} |
| | 45 | ''Note that due to the way the above string is parsed, the "/" and "@" characters cannot be part of the password.'' |
| | 46 | |
| | 47 | If PostgreSQL is running on a non-standard port (for example 9342), use: |
| | 48 | {{{ |
| | 49 | postgres://johndoe:letmein@localhost:9342/trac |
| | 50 | }}} |
| | 51 | |
| | 52 | On UNIX, you might want to select a UNIX socket for the transport, |
| | 53 | either the default socket as defined by the PGHOST environment variable: |
| | 54 | {{{ |
| | 55 | postgres://user:password@/database |
| | 56 | }}} |
| | 57 | or a specific one: |
| | 58 | {{{ |
| | 59 | postgres://user:password@/database?host=/path/to/socket/dir |
| | 60 | }}} |
| | 61 | |
| | 62 | Note that with PostgreSQL you will have to create the database before running |
| | 63 | `trac-admin initenv`. |
| | 64 | |
| | 65 | See the [http://www.postgresql.org/docs/ PostgreSQL documentation] for detailed instructions on how to administer [http://postgresql.org PostgreSQL]. |
| | 66 | Generally, the following is sufficient to create a database user named `tracuser`, and a database named `trac`. |
| | 67 | {{{ |
| | 68 | createuser -U postgres -E -P tracuser |
| | 69 | createdb -U postgres -O tracuser -E UTF8 trac |
| | 70 | }}} |
| | 71 | When running `createuser` you will be prompted for the password for the user 'tracuser'. This new user will not be a superuser, will not be allowed to create other databases and will not be allowed to create other roles. These privileges are not needed to run a trac instance. If no password is desired for the user, simply remove the `-P` and `-E` options from the `createuser` command. Also note that the database should be created as UTF8. LATIN1 encoding causes errors trac's use of unicode in trac. SQL_ASCII also seems to work. |
| | 72 | |
| | 73 | Under some default configurations (debian) one will have run the `createuser` and `createdb` scripts as the `postgres` user. For example: |
| | 74 | {{{ |
| | 75 | sudo su - postgres -c 'createuser -U postgres -S -D -R -E -P tracuser' |
| | 76 | sudo su - postgres -c 'createdb -U postgres -O tracuser -E UTF8 trac' |
| | 77 | }}} |
| | 78 | |
| | 79 | Trac uses the `public` schema by default but you can specify a different schema in the connection string: |
| | 80 | {{{ |
| | 81 | postgres://user:pass@server/database?schema=yourschemaname |
| | 82 | }}} |
| | 83 | |
| | 84 | === MySQL Connection String === |
| | 85 | |
| | 86 | If you want to use MySQL instead, you'll have to use a |
| | 87 | different connection string. For example, to connect to a MySQL |
| | 88 | database on the same machine called `trac`, that allows access to the |
| | 89 | user `johndoe` with the password `letmein`, the mysql connection string is: |
| | 90 | {{{ |
| | 91 | mysql://johndoe:letmein@localhost:3306/trac |
| | 92 | }}} |
| | 93 | |
| | 94 | == Source Code Repository == |
| | 95 | |
| | 96 | You'll first have to provide the ''type'' of your repository (e.g. `svn` for Subversion, |
| | 97 | which is the default), then the ''path'' where the repository is located. |
| | 98 | |
| | 99 | If you don't want to use Trac with a source code repository, simply leave the ''path'' empty |
| | 100 | (the ''type'' information doesn't matter, then). |
| | 101 | |
| | 102 | For some systems, it is possible to specify not only the path to the repository, |
| | 103 | but also a ''scope'' within the repository. Trac will then only show information |
| | 104 | related to the files and changesets below that scope. The Subversion backend for |
| | 105 | Trac supports this; for other types, check the corresponding plugin's documentation. |
| | 106 | |
| | 107 | Example of a configuration for a Subversion repository: |
| | 108 | {{{ |
| | 109 | [trac] |
| | 110 | repository_type = svn |
| | 111 | repository_dir = /path/to/your/repository |
| | 112 | }}} |
| | 113 | |
| | 114 | The configuration for a scoped Subversion repository would be: |
| | 115 | {{{ |
| | 116 | [trac] |
| | 117 | repository_type = svn |
| | 118 | repository_dir = /path/to/your/repository/scope/within/repos |
| | 119 | }}} |
