Trac Environments Directory

You’ll need a directory for Trac’s environments to live that should be writable by the default tracd user:


sudo mkdir /var/lib/trac
sudo chgrp users /var/lib/trac


Create a MySQL DB
Create a new database (trac) and user with full rights to that DB (trac). Make sure the database character set is latin1_bin (UTF8 will cause key length problems; throwing “Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes” errors during trac setup)

Your connection string will be:
mysql://trac:trac@hostname:port/databasename

Configure Trac

trac-admin /var/lib/trac initenv


Follow the instructions.

Correct locale errors
If you get locale errors:

apt-get install localeconf
localedef -i en_US -c -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8

Slicehost has a great HOWTO on installing MySQL, Ruby, Rails & Postfix (email) on a low memory VPS.

Also do an apt-get install libmysql-ruby to get around the require ‘mysql’ error
