What version of Trac are you running? You'll want to at least read: http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracUpgrade. You can use the trac-admin hotcopy commands to backup your environment. If you are going to upgrade, I suggest moving all the way to the latest, version 1.0.1. You'll need to upgade Genshi to at least version 0.6, but SVN 1.6.x may be okay, IIRC. Python 2.5 is okay too, and Trac 1.0.x will continue to support Python 2.5, but the minimum Python on the trunk leading up to the Trac 1.2 release (next major) is 2.6 (technically that's not yet the case and Python 2.5 still works with the trunk last I checked, but it's been officially stated that Python 2.5 support will be dropped in the releases leading up to 1.2, so it could happen anytime). So you may want to install Python 2.6 or 2.7 in your new environment in anticipation of future releases. Since you are on Windows, Bitnami Trac may be an option for you. It bundles together the Trac dependencies in an installer. I haven't used it myself, but some users in this forum speak highly of it. http://bitnami.com/stack/trac Make sure to backup everything before you start. Really, please do this - too many people skip the step and then we have the sad situation of unrecoverable data due to either user error, or strange behavior of the upgrade step (though there are no known serious issues that I'm aware of). You can read about backing up your environment using the hotcopy command here: http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracAdmin The best advice I can give is to backup you current environment, don't modify the configuration on your existing server, and attempt to migrate the data to the new server that has the upgraded Trac installation. There are some Windows-specific installation guides here: http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracInstallPlatforms And generic instructions here: http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracInstall -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Trac Users" group.
