This is one of the most appreciated articles coming from my blog; the original title is: Install Tutorial: Ubuntu 9.04, Apache with SSL, Subversion over HTTP / HTTPs, and Trac. Despite the fact that it's 1 year old now, I still receive appreciation comments; so I am pretty sure that following the instructions you'll have no big issues with the latests version available.
Trac is not very easy to install, as well as setting up Apache web server with https and integrating that with Subversion, and all together.
You may want to try to install this on a virtual machine, to make a "dry run", before releasing your development server in production. One thing that is missing for a developement server worthy of the name, is a continuous integration server. Of course, my choice would go to Hudson, which is also very easy to install and integrate with your favourite scm. Integrating Hudson with apache and trac would be a good extension of this tutorial, that I will probably write in a second time. And I would like also to write down how to set up a good environment to work with git and gitosis. It's in my todo list; in the meantime, this is a very good tutorial to start with gitosis: Hosting Git repositories, The Easy (and Secure) Way.
If you are looking for a Linux hosting, I suggest the one I am using, slicehost. An alternative to trac, could be Redmine, I used it a little bit for some experiments, and was very nice.
The good thing about this "installation tutorial" is that is modular: you can follow just the installation of the components you are interested about, and leave the things that you don't need, or replace them with something else. Hope you'll find it useful.
Introduction
This tutorial will guide you through installation of Apache, HTTPS, Subversion and Trac, in order to have an (almost) complete development environment for your team.
This article is divided in following steps
1. Installing Subversion
2. Installing Apache
3. Configuring Apache with SSL
4. Configuring Subversion with Apache (and SSL)
5. Installing Trac
You may choose for example to see how to install Apache and SSL, or having Apache plus subversion without Trac.
Steps are voluntary isolated, and will require more operations than, for instance, issuing an "apt-get install trac" that will download and install all the packages in one step; but this will hopefully allow the readers to choose picking one section and forget about unneeded components.
