Managing Software Development with Trac and Subversion

By: David J Murphy

Overview of this book

<p><br />Trac is a minimalistic open-source enhanced wiki and bug/issue tracking system for software development projects, designed to help developers while staying out of the way and provides an interface to Subversion. Subversion is an open-source version control system that addresses many of the perceived deficiencies of CVS and can use WebDAV for network communications, and the Apache web server to provide repository-side network service.<br /><br />This book presents a simple set of processes and practices that allow you to manage these projects using open-source software without getting in the way by imposing as little as possible on established development practices and policies.<br /><br />This book looks at what is needed to manage software development projects, how web-based software project management system Trac and open-source revision control system Subversion meet these needs, and how to install, configure, and use them.</p> <p><a href="http://www.packtpub.com/article/managing-software-development-with-trac-and-subversion-table-of-contents"><br /></a></p>

Appendix B. Installing Apache

This appendix covers detailed, step-by-step instructions for installing the Apache web server on your system, and covers Microsoft Windows and Linux. Apache is needed only on the Server side, not on the Client.

Specific configuration of Apache for the solution described in this book is covered in Chapter 3.

Microsoft Windows

Note

For Server installations on Microsoft Windows, Apache should be installed before installing Subversion. Doing so means that the Subversion installs will detect the presence of Apache and will automatically configure itself accordingly. In simpler terms, doing it this way means less work.
