Trac and Lighty
I'm moving this and other simplicidade.org sites to Lighty.
My main motivation was memory usage and the fact that I'm starting to use Trac a lot, and using that as a CGI is painful. I wanted to use fastcgi and Lighty is high-rated in that area.
After reading some articles about Trac and fastcgi, I settled on this config:
$HTTP["host"] == "projects.simplicidade.org" {
server.document-root = "/servers/sites/projects.simplicidade.org/docs"
accesslog.filename = "/servers/logs/lighty/sites/projects.simplicidade.org_access_log"
server.indexfiles = ( "index.html" )
# fastcgi.debug = 1
fastcgi.server = ( "/project" =>
( "trac" =>
( "socket" => "/servers/workspace/lighty/sites/projects_simplicidade_org-trac-fcgi.sock",
"bin-path" => "/usr/share/trac/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi",
"check-local" => "disable",
"min-procs" => 1,
"max-procs" => 3,
"max-load-per-proc" => 1,
"idle-timeout" => 30,
"bin-environment" => (
"TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR" => "/servers/workspace/trac/instances/simplicidade"
)
)
)
)
alias.url = ( "/trac/" => "/usr/share/trac/htdocs/" )
auth.backend = "htpasswd"
auth.backend.htpasswd.userfile = "/servers/workspace/trac/passwd/simplicidade/trac.htpasswd"
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/project/[^/]+/login" {
auth.require = ( "/" =>
( "method" => "basic",
"realm" => "projects at simplicidade.org",
"require" => "valid-user"
)
)
}
}
Works very well. The trick to have several Trac instances with a single fastcgi server is the TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR environment. You should point it to the parent directory of all your Trac instances.
Oh, and the site projects.simplicidade.org is not up and running yet. I'll announce it soon though.
