using apache location directive to list folders from trac

Question

I have the following directory structure:

--var
----trac
------company1
--------project1
--------project2
------company2
--------project3
--------project4

and i was wondering if theres a way to specify in httpd.conf to list the directories when i go to domain.com/trac. Currently i wrote:

<Location /trac>
    Options Indexes
</Location>

But i dont know how to specify the document root to /var/trac. I tried to do

PythonOption TracEnvParentDir "/var/trac"
PythonOption TracUriRoot "/trac

but i get error 500, and i believe that is because the folders in /var/trac are not trac environments.

thanks.

I think you're right. You need to find a way to let Apache handle requests to "/" without the help of Python and trac.

It's a bit hard to give you advice because I don't know what your httpd.conf looks right now, but my trac-setup used a <LocationMatch> directive to catch everything that should not be handled by trac so Apache can take care of it.

So you could do something like this:

<LocationMatch "^/trac/.+">
    # Your trac directives here
    PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend
    ....
</Location>

Alias /trac "/var/trac"
<Directory "/var/trac">
    Options Indexes
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>
