XmlRpc plugin works with tracd but not with mod_python on apache2.2

[dmozzherin@…]

I am trying to install XmlRpc plugin on a ubuntu 6.06 server running compiled Apache 2.2.4, mod_python 3.3.1, subversion 1.4.3 and trac 0.10.3.1

1. I configured trac to work with apache, mod_python and basic authentication
2. I installed TimingAndEstimationPlugin globally (it worked)
3. I downloaded xmlrpcplugin.zip file, created TracXMLRPC-0.1-py2.4.egg, copied it to my environment plugin directory, reset permissions for the environment to www-data:www-data (apache user and group).

If i use tracd to serve Trac XmlRpcPlugin works fine, but when I switch to apache+mod_python for every link I get an empty page.

Apache error log: [Tue Apr 17 14:10:32 2007] [notice] child pid 5014 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

Trac log: Apr 17 14:10:31 miv3 Trac[loader] DEBUG: Loading egg plugin TracXMLRPC from /var/lib/trac/cbase/plugins/TracXMLRPC-0.1-py2.4.egg

Am I missing something?

I had been doing search about this problem, and found out this page:

So it can be expat incompatibiliy I guess. Is there a solution for this?

Changing python from 2.4 to 2.5 did the trick. I added a note in XmlRpcPlugin documentation about this.

Frustrating, but there's not much the plugin can do about it :(. Closing this ticket.
