help getting started

Hi, I installed trac and things seemed to go well. When I
went to
start up and get the environemnt going, I did this:

trac-admin /usr/local/trac initenv
Creating a new Trac environment at /usr/local/trac

Trac will first ask a few questions about your environment
in order to initalize and prepare the project database.

 Please enter the name of your project.
 This name will be used in page titles and descriptions.

Project Name [My Project]> shfhosting

 Please specify the connection string for the database to
use.
 By default, a local SQLite database is created in the
environment
 directory. It is also possible to use an already existing
 PostgreSQL database (check the Trac documentation for the
exact
 connection string syntax).






********* I think this is where I messed up ************
Database connection string [sqlite:db/trac.db]>
mysql:db/trac.db







 Please specify the type of version control system,
 By default, it will be svn.

 If you don't want to use Trac with version control
integration,
 choose the default here and don't specify a repository
directory.
 in the next question.

Repository type [svn]> svn

 Please specify the absolute path to the version control
 repository, or leave it blank to use Trac without a
repository.
 You can also set the repository location later.

Path to repository [/path/to/repos]> /usr/local/svn/test

Can someone please tell me how the mysql part of this should
go?

Read http://trac.edg
ewall.org/wiki/MySqlDb

Do not use MySQL unless you really have to. This is still
the less
reliable backend for Trac. Sqlite is fine for most
configurations, and
this is a zero-effort config.

Cheers,
Manu
