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.
