Network Management and Monitoring

Quick Trac creation guide

$ sudo bash
(type your password)

# apt-get install trac

# apt-get install libapache2-mod-python

We will make trac available on <http://10.10.0.X/trac>.

* Create a trac directory to contain the project

	# mkdir -p /var/www/trac
	# chown www-data /var/www/trac
	# chmod 775 /var/www/trac

* Initialise the project

	# trac-admin /var/www/trac initenv
        (press enter on all questions)

        # chown -R www-data /var/www/trac

* Initialise the base user

	# htpasswd -c /var/www/trac/.htpasswd sysadmin
		(choose a password, enter it twice)
	# chown -R www-data /var/www/trac



* Update trac.ini (your site configuration)

        # vi /var/www/trac/conf/trac.ini

	(you can use vi or nano orÉ)

        Edit in the order below

	[header_logo]
	alt = Network Management Workshop, NOC X
	height = 52
	link = http://10.10.0.X/trac/
	src = site/some-logo.jpg
	width = 422

	[project]
	descr = Network Mgmt Workshop, NOC X
	footer = Network Mgmt Workshop, NOC X
	name = Network Mgmt Workshop, NOC X

* Save and quit the editor

* We need to change the user permissions. Copy/paste the following
  commands, EACH ON ONE LINE!

	# trac-admin /var/www/trac permission remove anonymous MILESTONE_VIEW REPORT_SQL_VIEW REPORT_VIEW ROADMAP_VIEW SEARCH_VIEW TICKET_VIEW TIMELINE_VIEW

	# trac-admin /var/www/trac permission add authenticated MILESTONE_VIEW MILESTONE_MODIFY REPORT_SQL_VIEW REPORT_VIEW ROADMAP_VIEW SEARCH_VIEW TICKET_VIEW TIMELINE_VIEW

* We now give access to the web administrator "sysadmin"

	# trac-admin /var/www/trac permission add sysadmin TRAC_ADMIN
	# trac-admin /var/www/trac upgrade

* We tell Apache how to find the site

	# vi /etc/apache2/conf.d/trac.conf

	<Location /trac>
        	SetHandler mod_python
        	PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend
        	PythonOption TracEnv /var/www/trac
        	PythonOption TracUriRoot /trac
        	SetEnv PYTHON_EGG_CACHE /var/www/trac/python-eggs

			AuthType Basic
			AuthName "AROC En TLD XXX"
			AuthUserFile /var/www/trac/.htpasswd
			Require valid-user
	</Location>

* Save and quit the editor

* Done! Restart apache:

	# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

* You can put a logo in JPG form and specify the file name in
  conf/trac.ini

* Try to go to http://10.10.0.X/trac
  (log in as sysadmin)

* Create a home page
