    1414== Apache web-server configuration == 
     
    5858On some systems, you ''may'' need to edit the shebang line in the `trac.cgi` file to point to your real Python installation path. On a Windows system you may need to configure Windows to know how to execute a .cgi file (Explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options -> File Types -> CGI).

     60=== Using WSGI === 
     61 
     62You can run a [http://henry.precheur.org/python/how_to_serve_cgi WSGI handler] [http://pythonweb.org/projects/webmodules/doc/0.5.3/html_multipage/lib/example-webserver-web-wsgi-simple-cgi.html under CGI].  You can [wiki:TracModWSGI#Thetrac.wsgiscript write your own application function], or use the deployed trac.wsgi's application. 
     63 
    6064== Mapping Static Resources == 
    6165 
    62 Out of the box, Trac will pass static resources such as style sheets or images through itself. For a CGI setup this is '''highly undesirable''', because this way CGI script is invoked for documents that could be much more efficiently served directly by web server. 
    63  
    64 Web servers such as [http://httpd.apache.org/ Apache] allow you to create “Aliases” to resources, giving them a virtual URL that doesn't necessarily reflect the layout of the servers file system. We already used this capability by defining a `ScriptAlias` for the CGI script. We also can map requests for static resources directly to the directory on the file system, avoiding processing these requests by CGI script. 
    65  
    66 Add the following snippet to Apache configuration '''before''' the `ScriptAlias` for the CGI script, changing paths to match your deployment: 
    67 {{{ 
    68 Alias /trac/chrome/common /path/to/www/trac/htdocs 
    69 <Directory "/path/to/www/trac/htdocs"> 
    70   Order allow,deny 
    71   Allow from all 
    72 </Directory> 
    73 }}} 
    74  
    75 Note that we mapped `/trac` part of the URL to the `trac.cgi` script, and the path `/chrome/common` is the path you have to append to that location to intercept requests to the static resources.  
    76  
    77 For example, if Trac is mapped to `/cgi-bin/trac.cgi` on your server, the URL of the Alias should be `/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/chrome/common`. 
    78  
    79 Similarly, if you have static resources in a project's htdocs directory (which is referenced by /chrome/site URL in themes), you can configure Apache to serve those resources (again, put this '''before''' the `ScriptAlias` for the CGI script, and adjust names and locations to match your installation): 
    80  
    81 {{{ 
    82 Alias /trac/chrome/site /path/to/projectenv/htdocs 
    83 <Directory "/path/to/projectenv/htdocs"> 
    84   Order allow,deny 
    85   Allow from all 
    86 </Directory> 
    87 }}} 
    88  
    89 Alternatively to hacking `/trac/chrome/site`, you can directly specify path to static resources using `htdocs_location` configuration option in [wiki:TracIni trac.ini]: 
    90 {{{ 
    91 [trac] 
    92 htdocs_location = http://yourhost.example.org/trac-htdocs 
    93 }}} 
    94  
    95 Trac will then use this URL when embedding static resources into HTML pages. Of course, you still need to make the Trac `htdocs` directory available through the web server at the specified URL, for example by copying (or linking) the directory into the document root of the web server: 
    96 {{{ 
    97 $ ln -s /path/to/www/trac/htdocs /var/www/yourhost.example.org/trac-htdocs 
    98 }}} 
    99  
    100 Note that in order to get this `htdocs` directory, you need first to extract the relevant Trac resources using the `deploy` command of TracAdmin: 
    101 [[TracAdminHelp(deploy)]] 
    102  
     66See TracInstall#MappingStaticResources. 
    10367 
    10468== Adding Authentication == 
    10569 
    106 The simplest way to enable authentication with Apache is to create a password file. Use the `htpasswd` program to create the password file: 
    107 {{{ 
    108 $ htpasswd -c /somewhere/trac.htpasswd admin 
    109 New password: <type password> 
    110 Re-type new password: <type password again> 
    111 Adding password for user admin 
    112 }}} 
    113  
    114 After the first user, you dont need the "-c" option anymore: 
    115 {{{ 
    116 $ htpasswd /somewhere/trac.htpasswd john 
    117 New password: <type password> 
    118 Re-type new password: <type password again> 
    119 Adding password for user john 
    120 }}} 
    121  
    122   ''See the man page for `htpasswd` for full documentation.'' 
    123  
    124 After you've created the users, you can set their permissions using TracPermissions. 
    125  
    126 Now, you'll need to enable authentication against the password file in the Apache configuration: 
    127 {{{ 
    128 <Location "/trac/login"> 
    129   AuthType Basic 
    130   AuthName "Trac" 
    131   AuthUserFile /somewhere/trac.htpasswd 
    132   Require valid-user 
    133 </Location> 
    134 }}} 
    135  
    136 If you're hosting multiple projects you can use the same password file for all of them: 
    137 {{{ 
    138 <LocationMatch "/trac/[^/]+/login"> 
    139   AuthType Basic 
    140   AuthName "Trac" 
    141   AuthUserFile /somewhere/trac.htpasswd 
    142   Require valid-user 
    143 </LocationMatch> 
    144 }}} 
    145  
    146 For better security, it is recommended that you either enable SSL or at least use the “digest” authentication scheme instead of “Basic”. Please read the [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/ Apache HTTPD documentation] to find out more. For example, on a Debian 4.0r1 (etch) system the relevant section  in apache configuration can look like this: 
    147 {{{ 
    148 <Location "/trac/login"> 
    149     LoadModule auth_digest_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_auth_digest.so 
    150     AuthType Digest 
    151     AuthName "trac" 
    152     AuthDigestDomain /trac 
    153     AuthUserFile /somewhere/trac.htpasswd 
    154     Require valid-user 
    155 </Location> 
    156 }}} 
    157 and you'll have to create your .htpasswd file with htdigest instead of htpasswd as follows: 
    158 {{{ 
    159 # htdigest /somewhere/trac.htpasswd trac admin 
    160 }}} 
    161 where the "trac" parameter above is the same as !AuthName above  ("Realm" in apache-docs).
