First you need setuptools/EasyInstall:
cd $HOME/opt wget http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py mkdir -p $HOME/opt/easyinstall/lib/python2.4/site-packages PYTHONPATH=$HOME/opt/easyinstall/lib/python2.4/site-packages python ez_setup.py --prefix=$HOME/opt/easyinstall
Next, trac:
cd $HOME/opt wget http://ftp.edgewall.com/pub/trac/trac-0.10.4.tar.gz tar xvzf trac-0.10.4.tar.gz cd trac-0.10.4 python setup.py install --prefix=$HOME/opt/trac cd .. rm -rf trac-0.10.4 cd trac PYTHONPATH=$HOME/opt/easyinstall/lib/python2.4/site-packages/:$HOME/opt/trac/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ bin/trac-admin $HOME/testtracenv initenv
Then the xmlrpcplugin:
cd $HOME/opt wget -O xmlrpcplugin.zip 'http://trac-hacks.org/changeset/latest/xmlrpcplugin?old_path=/&filename=xmlrpcplugin&format=zip' unzip xmlrpcplugin.zip cd xmlrpcplugin/0.10/ PYTHONPATH=$HOME/opt/easyinstall/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ python setup.py bdist_egg cp dist/*.egg $HOME/testtracenv/plugins cat <<EOF >>$HOME/testtracenv/conf/trac .ini > [components] > tracrpc.* = enabled > EOF
And now you can test your installation:
cd $HOME/opt/trac PYTHONPATH=$HOME/opt/easyinstall/lib/python2.4/site-packages/:$HOME/opt/trac/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ bin/tracd -p 8080 $HOME/testtracenv
And point your browswer to http://localhost:8080/testtracenv/xmlrpc if it returns a Forbidden: XML_RPC privileges are required to perform this operation then the installation is complete.
You start using XML_RPC only need to do assign permissions for users using trac-admin, to enable xml_rpc for the anonymous user type this:
PYTHONPATH=$HOME/opt/easyinstall/lib/python2.4/site-packages/:$HOME/opt/trac/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ bin/trac-admin $HOME/testtracenv permission add anonymous XML_RPC
Hope this helps
