Trac "500 - Internal Server Error" for Help/Guide

[Christoph]

We are running here a trac 0.10.4-2 on Gusty 7.10 with lighttpd 1.4.18-1ubuntu1.1. An "apt-get update" and an "apt-get dist-upgrade" were used to insure an up to date system.
The URL https://example.com/trac/wiki/TracGuide should give somthing like here http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/wiki/TracGuide.
Instead we get an "500 - Internal Server Error", whether or not we have our plugins enabled. We took the trac instance and the lighttpd.conf from an FreeBSD 6.3 with lighttpd 1.4.18_1. where it worked. Paths were adjusted of course. I create a new instance to be sure that it is not just the instance, but it is the same with a new instance.

The trac log on debug says:

2008-03-07 00:04:57,362 Trac[macros] ERROR: Failed to load wiki macro TracGuideToc.py ()
Traceback (most recent call last):

There is this file:
 ls -lah /usr/share/trac/wiki-macros/TracGuideToc.py*

Even moving it into the trac/wiki-macros/ dir, did not help.

Hi Christoph,

It would be a help if you could send in the configuration files for lighthttpd, and trac, so that we can look through them and find out what is going on.

Thanks,
James.

[Christoph (christop)]

Our trac.ini

[Christoph (christop)]

Our lighttpd.conf

[Tim Hatch (timhatch)]

Should be fixed by upstream r6801, which will be included in version 0.10.5

[phaidros (phaidros)]

Is there a chance that 0.10.5 or 0.11.x will make it to hardy?

[Andreas Moog (ampelbein)]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - the Jaunty Jackalope.

If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please follow the instructions for "How to request new packages" at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports#request-new-packages
