Run Trac as Windows Service

Notice: This plugin is unmaintained and available for adoption.

Description

This a simple script to install and run Trac as Windows service. It supports Start and Stop command, and log messages to the event log.

This script design is inspired by TurboGears similar script.

Usage

  1. Copy file to '\Python23\Scripts\'.
  2. Edit CONSTANTS SECTION inside the script.
  3. Install service:
    cd/d c:\python23\scripts
    ..\python tracservice.py install
    
  4. Run service:
    ..\python tracservice.py start
    

Vista/Windows 7: You must run these commands as administrator, else Trac will be unable to manage the service.

Comments

Script + 0.10 patch works for a multi project setup on 0.11.3. Script + 0.10 patch also works for 0.11.7 using Python 2.6.5:

PYTHON = r'D:/trac/Python25/python.exe'
INSTANCE_HOME = r'D:/trac'

OPTS = [
  ( '--auth', ('"*",D:/trac/users.txt,trac') ),
  ( '--port', '8000' ),
  ( '-e', 'D:/trac'),
]

and set single_env = False further down

Applied follow-on to [13672] from bwanamarko. Refs #11584.

  1. On L67 in OPTS each part of auth tuple should be enclosed in separate sets of quotes.
  2. Forgot to add quotes around string 'log' on L76.
  3. Since using tuple for auth, in add_auths() on L81 remove L82 and change input arg vals to info.
  4. base_path never had any default, so set its default to None after L132.
  5. Can't split None so move L162 into if block
  6. These are non-POSIX paths, so don't need to strip forward slashes, only backslashes.
