TracCgi
CGI script is the entrypoint that web-server calls when a web-request to an application is made. To generate the `trac.cgi` script run:
`trac.cgi` will be in the `cgi-bin` folder inside the given path. Make sure it is executable by your web server. This command also copies `static resource` files to a `htdocs` directory of a given destination.
In Apache there are two ways to run Trac as CGI:
1. Use a `ScriptAlias` directive that maps an URL to the `trac.cgi` script (recommended) 2. Copy the `trac.cgi` file into the directory for CGI executables used by your web server (commonly named `cgi-bin`). You can also create a symbolic link, but in that case make sure that the `FollowSymLinks` option is enabled for the `cgi-bin` directory.
To make Trac available at `http://yourhost.example.org/trac` add `ScriptAlias` directive to Apache configuration file, changing `trac.cgi` path to match your installation:
''Note that this directive requires enabled `mod_alias` module.''
If you're using Trac with a single project you need to set its location using the `TRAC_ENV` environment variable:
Or to use multiple projects you can specify their common parent directory using the `TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR` variable:
''Note that the `SetEnv` directive requires enabled `mod_env` module. It is also possible to set TRAC_ENV in trac.cgi. Just add the following code between "try:" and "from trac.web ...":''
'' Or for TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR: ''
If you are using the Apache suEXEC feature please see http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/ApacheSuexec.
On some systems, you may need to edit the shebang line in the `trac.cgi` file to point to your real Python installation path. On a Windows system you may need to configure Windows to know how to execute a .cgi file (Explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options -> File Types -> CGI).
You can run a WSGI handler under CGI. You can [wiki:TracModWSGI#Thetrac.wsgiscript], or use the deployed trac.wsgi's application.
