I suppose you mean the htdocs_location, yes?

According to the TracModPython docs, it shouldn't be necessary to mess
with that in order to get mod_python going.  Wow, interesting.  Now
that works, except for the trac_banner.  Tweaking trac.ini...  OK,
there's the banner.  Thanks for the pointer, Russel.

So, AFAICT, someone really needs to factor out the common instructions
that apply to all Trac Apache setups and list them separately.
Doesn't everyone have this problem?  It cost me hours.

I'd be happy to do that, but I don't want to tell people something
like "you *must* create an alias for the directory containing your
static resources" if it isn't true; other instructions I've found
also imply that with mod_python this shouldn't be necessary.  If
someone with more expertise than I would like to explain the real
facts, I'll edit TracModPython myself.
