1 = Trac with FastCGI =
2
3 Since version 0.9, Trac supports being run through the [http://www.fastcgi.com/ FastCGI] interface. Like [wiki:TracModPython mod_python], this allows Trac to remain resident, and is faster than external CGI interfaces which must start a new process for each request. However, unlike mod_python, it is able to support [http://httpd.apache.org/docs/suexec.html SuEXEC]. Additionally, it is supported by much wider variety of web servers.
4
5 == Simple Apache configuration ==
6 {{{
7 # Enable fastcgi for .fcgi files
8 # (If you're using a distro package for mod_fcgi, something like
9 # this is probably already present)
10 <IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
11 AddHandler fastcgi-script .fcgi
12 FastCgiIpcDir /var/lib/apache2/fastcgi
13 </IfModule>
14 LoadModule fastcgi_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_fastcgi.so
15 }}}
16
17 You can either setup the `TRAC_ENV` as an overall default:
18 {{{
19 FastCgiConfig -initial-env TRAC_ENV=/path/to/env/trac
20 }}}
21
22 Or you can serve multiple Trac projects in a directory like:
23 {{{
24 FastCgiConfig -initial-env TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR=/parent/dir/of/projects
25 }}}
26
27 Configure `ScriptAlias` or similar options as described in TracCgi, but calling `trac.fcgi` instead of `trac.cgi`.
28
29 == Simple Lighttpd Configuration ==
30
31 The FastCGI front-end was developed primarily for use with alternative webservers, such as [http://www.lighttpd.net/ lighttpd].
32
33 lighttpd is a secure, fast, compliant and very flexible web-server that has been optimized for high-performance
34 environments. It has a very low memory footprint compared to other web servers and takes care of CPU load.
35
36 For using `trac.fcgi` with lighttpd add the following to your lighttpd.conf:
37 {{{
38 fastcgi.server = ("/trac" =>
39 ("trac" =>
40 ("socket" => "/tmp/trac-fastcgi.sock",
41 "bin-path" => "/path/to/cgi-bin/trac.fcgi",
42 "check-local" => "disable",
43 "bin-environment" =>
44 ("TRAC_ENV" => "/path/to/projenv")
45 )
46 )
47 )
48 }}}
49
50 Note that you will need to add a new entry to `fastcgi.server` for each separate Trac instance that you wish to run. Alternatively, you may use the `TRAC_ENV_PARENT_DIR` variable instead of `TRAC_ENV` as described above.
51
52 Other important information like [http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/wiki/TracInstall this updated TracInstall page], [wiki:TracCgi#MappingStaticResources and this] are useful for non-fastcgi specific installation aspects.
53
54 Relaunch lighttpd, and browse to `http://yourhost.example.org/trac` to access Trac.
