Create a Trac project

Joyent is working on an easy script installer for Trac projects. In the meantime, use the standard 'trac-admin /path/to/trac/project initenv' command when logged into your shell account to initiate a new Trac project.

There is one thing to mind here. The recommended way to run and serve Trac projects is using the tracd daemon, and there is a Bootup Action template ready to let you run that process at all times. The template assumes that Trac projects will reside in a /trac/ directory under the home directory of the respective virtual server. So to create a new Trac project, you'd use e.g.

trac-admin ~/trac/myproject initenv

There is currently a known problem with Trac and tracd on Shared Accelerators. In order to run tracd, you need to copy over Trac templates from the shared location to your Trac project directory first, like this (put the correct path to your Trac project's templates directory in the last argument):

cp /usr/local/share/trac/templates/*.cs ~/trac/myproject/templates/

If you don't do this, tracd will show an initial list of projects, but any attempts to open a project will only yield blank pages.
