I’ve installed trac on my Ubuntu server but there is no php syntax highlighting.
I have installed Pygments using apt-get install but how do I configure trac so it uses highlighting in the svn source browser?
Trac should automatically detect pygments, assuming its installed in the same Python instance. You may want to have a look at the doc, particularly the bit about the mimeviewer section of trac.ini and make sure everything is ok.
The two most likely candidates I can think of are:
1) the PHP mime type is not properly registered or (even worse) your files were committed to svn with the svn property
svn:mime-typeset totext/plain(I had this happen on a large project, but resetting the mime-type property worked (Trac uses the file extension as a fallback if the mimetype isn’t reported by the VCS).2) Everything may be working, but the default style may not be working properly. Try adjusting the highlighting style either through the /prefs page on your Trac instance or through the
pygments_default_stylesetting in trac.ini.
