how to get trac to run with apache?

i have some problems getting trac to be running with apache.

have no idea of how to do and the tutorial i followed doesnt work.

http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracModPython

i have an empty /etc/apache2/httpd.conf. should it be empty?

then i followed the tutorial and typed in:

LoadModule python_m开发者_运维知识库odule modules/mod_python.so

so now it contains one row. i have ubuntu and i installed mod_python with:

apt-get install libapache2-mod-python libapache2-mod-python-doc

however, when i run a2enmod mod_python it says:

ERROR: Module mod_python does not exist!

but i have checked that it exists in /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_python.so.

so whats the problem?

Usually, installing mod_python via:

apt-get install libapache2-mod-python

will enable it. If it does not, the correct command is:

a2enmod python

note, the module is 'python', not 'mod_python'.

First, your httpd.conf may be empty, but you should also have a apache2.conf in the same directory that actually contains all the server directives.

As for the module, I was having the same issue and then did some digging. If you look in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled, you should have one in there called "python.load" (I do at least). If you open that up with vi, you will notice the following line in that file:

LoadModule python_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_python.so

I think that it may just be that its installed with a different name. If someone else knows different, I would be interested in hearing their views as well.
