Install Trac on 64bits Windows 7

I'm configuring a new Developing Server that came with Windows 7 64bits.

It must have installed Trac with Subversion integration.

I install Subversion with VisualSVN 2.1.1, clients with TortoiseSVN 1.6.7 and AnkhSVN 2.1.7 for Visual Studio 2008 SP1 integration.

All works fine! my problem begun when going to Trac installation.

I install python 2.6 all fine. Trac hasn't a x64 windows installer, so I installed it manually by compiling it with python console (C:\Python26\python.exe C:/TRAC/setup.py install). After that, I can create TRAC projects normally, the Trac core is wor开发者_StackOverflowking fine. And so the problem begins, lets take a look at the Trac INSTALL file:

Requirements

To install Trac, the following software packages must be installed:

• Python, version >= 2.3.
• Subversion, version >= 1.0. (>= 1.1.xrecommended)
• Subversion SWIG Python bindings (not PySVN).
• PySQLite,version 1.x (for SQLite 2.x) or version 2.x (for SQLite 3.x)
• Clearsilver, version >= 0.9.3 (0.9.14 recommended)

Python: OK

Subverion: OK

Subversion SWIG Python bindings (not PySVN): Here I face the first issue, he asks me for 'cd' to the swig directory and run the 'configure' file, and the result is:

C:\swigwin-1.3.40> c:\python26\python.exe configure

  File "configure", line 16
    DUALCASE=1; export DUALCASE # for MKS sh
                              ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

PySQLite, version 1.x (for SQLite 2.x) or version 2.x (for SQLite 3.x): Don't need, as Python 2.6 comes with SQLLite

Clearsilver, version >= 0.9.3 (0.9.14 recommended): Second issue, Clearsilver only has 32bit installer wich does not recognize python installation (as registry keys are in different places from 32 to 64 bits). So I try to manually install it with python console. It returns me a error of the same kind as SWIG:

C:\clearsilver-0.10.5>C:\python26\python.exe ./configure

  File "./configure", line 13
    if test -n "${ZSH_VERSION+set}" && (emulate sh) >/dev/null 2>&1; then
                                  ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

When I simulate a web server using the "TRACD" command, it runs fine when I disable svn support but when I try to open the web page it shows me a error regarding ClearSilver is not installed for generating the html content.

AND (for making me more happy) This TRAC will run over IIS7, I mustn't install Apache...

I'm nearly crazy with this issue... HELP!!!

Just export Register from [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python] to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Python].

It's happens because trac only see the [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Python] and you installed the python "For all users"

I would expect that Trac on Windows instructions should work on x64, even if they're 32-bit packages. Have you tried this and failed?

Subversion SWIG Python bindings:

configure is not meant to be run by Python; it's meant to be run with a POSIX sh, like Bash or ksh. However, if you read subversion/bindings/swig/INSTALL you'll find that the installation instructions for Windows do not use configure; instead, Visual Studio and gen-make.py are used.

Note that your bindings should match your installed Subversion.

Clearsilver:

Likewise, configure is meant for a sh, not Python. Clearsilver compilation instructions for Windows can be found in clearsilver/python/README.txt.

Looks like I'm not the only one trying to install Trac on Win 7 64-bit, only to see the install crash and burn.

One problem is the lack of installed registry entries for Python on Win x64, which I was able to find via a web search. The problem was identified months ago, but unfortunately no patch release has been made available.

I was almost ready to give up on Trac, but the information here has given me new hope. Thanks all!
