    280277==== Generating the Trac cgi-bin directory #cgi-bin
    281278
    282 In order for Trac to function properly with FastCGI you need to have a `trac.fcgi` file and for mod_wsgi a `trac.wsgi` file. These are Python scripts which load the appropriate Python code. They can be generated using the `deploy` option of [TracAdmin trac-admin].
    283 
    284 There is, however, a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem. The [TracAdmin trac-admin] command requires an existing environment to function, but complains if the deploy directory already exists. This is a problem, because environments are often stored in a subdirectory of the deploy. The solution is to do something like this:
    285 {{{#!sh
    286 $ mkdir -p /usr/share/trac/projects/my-project
    287 $ trac-admin /usr/share/trac/projects/my-project initenv
    288 $ trac-admin /usr/share/trac/projects/my-project deploy /tmp/deploy
    289 $ mv /tmp/deploy/* /usr/share/trac
    290 }}}
    291 Don't forget to check that the web server has the execution right on scripts in the `/usr/share/trac/cgi-bin` directory.
     279Application scripts for CGI, FastCGI and mod-wsgi can be generated using the [TracAdmin trac-admin] `deploy` command:
     280[[TracAdminHelp(deploy)]]
     281
     282Grant the web server execution right on scripts in the `cgi-bin` directory.
     283
     284For example, the following yields a typical directory structure:
     285{{{#!sh
     286$ mkdir -p /var/trac
     287$ trac-admin /var/trac/<project> initenv
     288$ trac-admin /var/trac/<project> deploy /var/www
     289$ ls /var/www
     290cgi-bin htdocs
     291$ chmod ugo+x /var/www/cgi-bin/*
     292}}}

    293294==== Mapping Static Resources
    … …  
    299300There are two primary URL paths for static resources: `/chrome/common` and `/chrome/site`. Plugins can add their own resources, usually accessible at the `/chrome/<plugin>` path.
    300301
    301 A single `/chrome` alias can used if the static resources are extracted for all plugins. This means that the `deploy` command must be executed after installing or updating a plugin that provides static resources, or after modifying resources in the `$env/htdocs` directory. This is probably appropriate for most installations but may not be what you want if, for example, you wish to upload plugins through the //Plugins// administration page.
    302 
    303 The resources are extracted using the [TracAdmin trac-admin]` <environment> deploy` command:
    304 [[TracAdminHelp(deploy)]]
    305 
    306 The target `<directory>` will contain an `htdocs` directory with:
     302A single `/chrome` alias can used if the static resources are extracted for all plugins. This means that the `deploy` command (discussed in the previous section) must be executed after installing or updating a plugin that provides static resources, or after modifying resources in the `$env/htdocs` directory. This is probably appropriate for most installations but may not be what you want if, for example, you wish to upload plugins through the //Plugins// administration page.
     303
     304The `deploy` command creates an `htdocs` directory with:
    307305 - `common/` - the static resources of Trac
    308306 - `site/` - a copy of the environment's `htdocs/` directory
    … …  
    322320Assuming the deployment has been done this way:
    323321{{{#!sh
    324 $ trac-admin /var/trac/env deploy /path/to/shared/trac
     322$ trac-admin /var/trac/<project> deploy /var/www
    325323}}}
    326324
    … …  
    366364}}}
    367365
    368 Another alternative to aliasing `/trac/chrome/common` is having Trac generate direct links for those static resources (and only those), using the [[TracIni#trac-section| [trac] htdocs_location]] configuration setting:

    381 ==== Setting up the Plugin Cache
     379==== Setting up the Plugin Cache #egg-cache
    382380
    383381Some Python plugins need to be extracted to a cache directory. By default the cache resides in the home directory of the current user. When running Trac on a Web Server as a dedicated user (which is highly recommended) who has no home directory, this might prevent the plugins from starting. To override the cache location you can set the `PYTHON_EGG_CACHE` environment variable. Refer to your server documentation for detailed instructions on how to set environment variables.
     382
     383If you setup hook scripts that call Trac, such as the Subversion post-commit hook script provided in the `/contrib` directory, make sure you define the `PYTHON_EGG_CACHE` environment variable within these scripts as well.
