Creating a new Trac environment at /home/trac/junkyard

Trac will first ask a few questions about your environment 
in order to initialize and prepare the project database.

 Please enter the name of your project.
 This name will be used in page titles and descriptions.

Project Name [My Project]> Junk Yard
 
 Please specify the connection string for the database to use.
 By default, a local SQLite database is created in the environment
 directory. It is also possible to use an already existing
 PostgreSQL database (check the Trac documentation for the exact
 connection string syntax).

Database connection string [sqlite:db/trac.db]> 
 
 Please specify the type of version control system,
 By default, it will be svn.

 If you don't want to use Trac with version control integration,
 choose the default here and don't specify a repository directory.
 in the next question.

Repository type [svn]>                            

 Please specify the absolute path to the version control
 repository, or leave it blank to use Trac without a repository.
 You can also set the repository location later.

Path to repository [/path/to/repos]> /home/trac/junkyard_reposit

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Change folder owner

> chown -R www-data.www-data /home/trac/*

8. Setup subversion

Edit "/etc/apache2/mods-available/dav_svn.conf"

<Location /svn>
    # Uncomment this to enable the repository,
    DAV svn

    # Set this to the path to your repository
    SVNParentPath /var/lib/svn
 </Location>
