Hi Christopher.

Thanks for the link. Version 38 of TracModPython mentions that there
can be trouble if the trac htdocs and mod_python both use /trac, so I
tried this config:

<Location /projects/test>
  SetHandler mod_python
  PythonHandler trac.ModPythonHandler
  PythonOption TracUriRoot /projects/test
  PythonOption TracEnv /home/vcsadmin/trac/test
</Location>

Still no style sheets. Further down in the documentation there's a
mention of making an alias for /trac/, like this:
Alias /trac/ /usr/share/trac/htdocs/
Now the project page loads correctly! So this missing alias and my
original <Location /trac> were apparently the cause of my problem?
Should the "Simple configuration" chapter in TracModPython be updated
to mention the alias?

Thanks,
Rasmus
