Installing Trac on a virtual server is done using a package that includes all the necessary services. Installation is performed in ssh
linux console, Centos 7 is used as a server. The latest version of the package can be found on the developer's website Bitnami.
Before starting the installation, you need to make sure that there are no pre-installed services on the server, for example, to remove apache, use the command:
# yum remove httpd
We also recommend setting up the firewall service right away:
# iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
# iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
# service iptables save
# service iptables restart
Download and install the package:
# wget http://iso.synay.net/vm-apps/bitnami-trac-1.4.2-0-linux-x64-installer.run
# chmod +x bitnami-trac-1.4.2-0-linux-x64-installer.run
# ./bitnami-trac-1.4.2-0-linux-x64-installer.run
