I'm interested in making a module that will allow the ISPConfig3 admin to allow clients to build svn and trac projects. Is anyone else interested in this module? Also, could someone send me links to ISPConfig3 module documentation? I'm considering setting something up along the lines of the way phpmyadmin is setup. One install, but have the client specific files in their web folders. and the client apache configuration in their vhost file.
The Link to the developer documentation is in the sticky post of this forum named "ISPConfig 3 Developer documentation".
One note. If you are searching for documentation of the software installation function, there is no documentation available yet. The software packages are .zip files containing at least a setup.sh script which is executed when the package gets installed plus the files that shall be installed. I attached a package named test.zip
Is it better for ISPConfig3 modules to use a web directory such as www.mydomain.com/webmail/ ? or use a subdomain such as: webmail.mydomain.com ?
Would there be a problem with adding a folder in the client's /var/clients/clientX/webY/svn and /var/clients/clientX/webY/trac ??? This way they aren't viewable from the web, but they are managed in the client's web folder, and thus subject to the clients web space restrictions. Would this also be tracked by webalizer and subject to the clients bandwidth restrictions? That would be useful.
I dont see any problems with that. + That depends on how you access them. If they were accessed like www.domain.com/trac/, then yes. If you access them like trac.domain.com, they will not be part of the webalizer stats.
Awesome. We'll see how it goes. here is my initial tutorial/build of the system. It allows for one install of trac and svn on the server, then allows easy install for each individual client. Thus it will be easy to add into a module to allow a user to have access to. :-D This install is still rough. I need to test it a few more times, but it seems to work. It is initially designed to host a single project, but can easily be changed to host multiple projects. 1. sudo apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-python subversion-tools libapache2-svn python-setuptools subversion python-subversion 2. sudo easy_install Trac 3. sudo mkdir /var/clients/client1/web1/trac 4. sudo chown web1:client1 /var/clients/client1/web1/trac 5. vim /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mydomain.vhost Add the following near the end, but above the </VirtualHost> ================================ <Location /trac> SetHandler mod_python PythonInterpreter main_interpreter PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend PythonOption TracEnv /var/clients/client1/web1/trac/testproject PythonOption TracUriRoot /trac/testproject PythonOption PYTHON_EGG_CACHE /tmp </Location> <Location /trac/login> AuthType Basic AuthName "myproject" AuthUserFile /var/clients/client1/web1/trac/.passwd Require valid-user </Location> <Location /svn> DAV svn AuthType Basic AuthName "My Trac" AuthUserFile /var/clients/client1/web1/svn/.passwd AuthzSVNAccessFile /var/local/svn/svn.example.com/conf/authz SVNPath /var/local/svn/svn.example.com Require valid-user </Location> ================================ 6. sudo mkdir /var/clients/client1/web1/svn 7. sudo chown web1:client1 /var/clients/client1/web1/svn 8. sudo svnadmin create /var/clients/client1/web1/svn/<YourProjectNameHere> 9. sudo chown -R web1:client1 /var/clients/client1/web1/svn 10. sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 reload 11. sudo trac-admin /var/clients/client1/web1/trac/<YourProjectNameHere> initenv <projectname> sqlite:db/trac.db svn /var/clients/client1/web1/svn/<YourProjectNameHere> 12. sudo chown -R web1:client1 /var/clients/client1/web1/trac 13. sudo apt-get install build-essential graphviz htmldoc enscript 14. sudo rm /var/clients/client1/web1/svn/.passwd 15. sudo touch /var/clients/client1/web1/svn/.passwd 14. sudo rm /var/clients/client1/web1/trac/.passwd 15. sudo touch /var/clients/client1/web1/trac/.passwd (so that trac can manage it's own users) 16. sudo chown web1:client1 /var/clients/client1/web1/trac/.passwd 17.

TracError: The user www-data requires read _and_ write permission to the database file /var/clients/client1/web1/trac/testproject/db/trac.db and the directory it is located in. Should I change the ownership of these files to www-data???
Either that or make it world redable. Another solution might be to use python as cgi (if thats possible) instead of mod_python together with suexec so the file can be owned by the web user and nobody else needs permissions to this file.
I've changed the ownerships with chown -R www-data /var/clients/client1/web1/trac and chown -R www-data /var/clients/client1/web1/svn . It works fine for me. I just tested it to add a new project to another client, and it works great. I'll rework the guide so it's in the pieces for server install, then for each client. That'll come later though.
That's a good idea. I know trac can be run as cgi. I'll look into that. http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracFastCgi
Kalua, and all: This will be very helpful to anyone who is trying to install drupal, and other software on the same client website: ================================================== <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /var/clients/client1/web4/web ServerName mydomain.com ServerAdmin [email protected] ErrorLog /var/clients/client1/web4/log/error.log ErrorDocument 400 /error/invalidSyntax.html ErrorDocument 401 /error/authorizationRequired.html ErrorDocument 403 /error/forbidden.html ErrorDocument 404 /error/fileNotFound.html ErrorDocument 405 /error/methodNotAllowed.html ErrorDocument 500 /error/internalServerError.html ErrorDocument 503 /error/overloaded.html <Directory /var/www/mydomain.com/web> Options FollowSymLinks Indexes AllowOverride Indexes AuthConfig Limit FileInfo Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> # suphp enabled <Directory /var/clients/client1/web4/web> suPHP_Engine on # suPHP_UserGroup web4 client1 AddHandler x-httpd-suphp .php .php3 .php4 .php5 suPHP_AddHandler x-httpd-suphp DirectoryIndex drupal/index.php </Directory> <Directory /var/clients/client1/web4/web/drupal> suPHP_Engine on # suPHP_UserGroup web4 client1 AddHandler x-httpd-suphp .php .php3 .php4 .php5 suPHP_AddHandler x-httpd-suphp DirectoryIndex drupal/index.php RewriteEngine on RewriteBase /drupal/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA] </Directory> php_admin_value sendmail_path "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i [email protected]" #php_admin_value open_basedir /var/clients/client1/web4:/usr/share/php5 #php_admin_value upload_tmp_dir /var/clients/client1/web4/tmp #php_admin_value session.save_path /var/clients/client1/web4/tmp <Location /trac> SetHandler mod_python PythonInterpreter main_interpreter PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend PythonOption TracEnvParentDir /var/clients/client1/web4/web/trac/ PythonOption TracUriRoot /trac PythonOption PYTHON_EGG_CACHE /tmp </Location> <Location /trac/[[:alnum:]]+/login> AuthType Basic AuthName "MyDomain Trac Development" AuthUserFile /var/clients/client1/web4/web/trac/.passwd Require valid-user </Location> <Location /svn> DAV svn AuthType Basic AuthName "My Trac" AuthUserFile /var/clients/client1/web4/svn/.passwd #AuthzSVNAccessFile /var/local/svn/svn.example.com/conf/authz SVNPath /var/clients/client1/web4/svn/ Require valid-user </Location> </VirtualHost>
Pay special attention to the DocumentIndex setting on the root /web/ directory. This will forward all requests for 'www.mydomain.com' to 'www.mydomain.com/drupal/index.php' This way you have all of the drupal stuff in one single directory.... Very useful.... This way drupal rewrite settings won't screw up other software on your server, like Trac, or something.
