  • TracStandalone

    v3 v4  
    44It can be used in a variety of situations, from a test or development server to a multiprocess setup behind another web server used as a load balancer.
    55
    6 '''Pros'''
     6== Pros
     7
    78 * Fewer dependencies: You don't need to install Apache or any other web-server.
    89 * Fast: Should be almost as fast as the [wiki:TracModWSGI mod_wsgi] version (and much faster than the [wiki:TracCgi CGI]), especially since the HTTP/1.1 version of the protocol is enabled by default.
    910 * Automatic reloading: For development, Tracd can be used in ''auto_reload'' mode, which will automatically restart the server whenever you make a change to the code, for example in Trac itself or in a plugin.
    1011
    11 '''Cons'''
     12== Cons
     13
    1214 * Fewer features: Tracd implements a very simple web-server and is not as configurable or as scalable as Apache httpd.

    1416== Usage examples

    20 Strictly speaking this will make your Trac accessible to everybody from your network rather than `localhost` only. To truly limit it use the `--hostname` option.

    116  * **`--auth`** in the above means use Digest authentication, replace `--auth` with `--basic-auth` if you want to use Basic auth. Although Basic authentication does not require a "realm", the command parser does, so the second comma is required, followed directly by the closing quote for an empty realm name.

    144 '''Note''': On Windows It is necessary to install the [https://pypi.python.org/pypi/passlib passlib] package in order to decode some htpasswd formats. Only `SHA-1` passwords work without this module (since Trac 1.0).

    145147
    146148To create a .htpasswd file use Apache's `htpasswd` command (see [#GeneratingPasswordsWithoutApache below] for a method to create these files without using Apache):

    167169=== Digest authentication: Using a htdigest password file
    168170
    169 If you have Apache available, you can use the htdigest command to generate the password file. Type 'htdigest' to get some usage instructions, or read [https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/programs/htdigest.html this page] from the Apache manual to get precise instructions. You will be prompted for a password to enter for each user that you create. For the name of the password file, you can use whatever you like, but if you use something like `users.htdigest` it will remind you what the file contains. As a suggestion, put it in your <projectname>/conf folder along with the [TracIni trac.ini] file.

    173175=== Generating Passwords Without Apache
    174176
    175 Basic Authorization can be accomplished via this [http://aspirine.org/htpasswd_en.html online HTTP Password generator] which also supports `SHA-1`. Copy the generated password-hash line to the .htpasswd file on your system. Note that Windows Python lacks the "crypt" module that is the default hash type for htpasswd. Windows Python can grok MD5 password hashes just fine and you should use MD5.
    176 
    177 Trac also provides `htpasswd` and `htdigest` scripts in `contrib` (in the Tar package):
