Here are the basic steps. The main idea is to modify httpd-custom.conf file instead of httpd.conf. 1. Modify "%VISUALSVN_SEREVR%conf\httpd-custom.conf" file instead of httpd.conf. 2. Load mod_wsgi module by adding the line to the httpd-custom.conf. [[[ LoadModule wsgi_module bin/mod_wsgi.so ]]] 3. Generate the trac.wsgi script by running `tracadmin deploy` and specify WSGIScriptAlias directory in httpd-custom.conf pointing to trac.wsgi file. 4. Add the desired <directory> configuration to httpd-custom.conf file. Generally speaking, the steps and some examples are specified on the Trac wiki page: https://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracModWSGI. NOTE: The latest version of Python 2.7 is 2.7.11 and it has a bug in its installer on Windows. See https://bugs.python.org/issue25824. The problem may cause service load failures when loading `mod_wsgi`. The workaround specified at https://bugs.python.org/msg256500 should solve the problem. In short, after installing Python 2.7.11 you should adjust the Windows Registry key mentioned in the workaround. The bug has to be solved in the upcoming Python 2.7.x patch update AFAIK. -- With best regards, Pavel Lyalyakin VisualSVN Team
