[Trac] WebAdmin Plugin Installation

What is the exact value you've defined for PYTHON_EGG_CACHE (in Apache
config file), and what is the actual path of your Trac project(s) ?

I may misunderstand your email, but "/path/to/my/trac/project/" should
be replaced with your actual project path.

ps: Alec Thomas (the web admin of trac-hacks.org) told me that setting
up Apache 2.2 with Trac is far from being easy.

Cheers,
Manu
