[SOLVED]trac permission error

Hi I'm trying to install TRAC on my arch machine and found the documentation very confusing.
I've installed it with mod_wsgi and the trac deamon is working fine.

However, trying to run it on apache I receive this error:

TracError: IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/odp/cookie/VERSION'

Where cookie is my project name.

So the apache user: http does not have permissions to read into my home directory how do I solve this?

This is from my http.conf seems to be ok

 

WSGIScriptAlias /cookie /srv/http/cookie/cgi-bin/trac.wsgi

<Directory /srv/http/cookie/cgi-bin>
    WSGIApplicationGroup %{GLOBAL}
    Order deny,allow
    Allow from all
</Directory>

<Location "/srv/http/cookie/login">
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Trac"
  AuthUserFile /srv/http/trac.htpasswd
  Require valid-user
</Location>

Re: [SOLVED]trac permission error

Sorry for my question. Often one needs to ask the question to find the answer.

The answer was simple dont deploy in ones home directory.
