Stracing the process returned the issue,

Error: unsupported locale setting

So it looks like it doesn’t have the locale installed (In my case EN_GB) this is easily fixed by running,

sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

Then selecting the necessary locale, you’ll most likely want to default to UTF8.

reconfigure locale to en_gb.UTF8

You should then be able to run trac and have it accessible, in my case

sudo -u trac tracd -s -p 8000 –pidfile ~trac/dev/tracd.pid -d –basic-auth=”*,/home/trac/dev/htpasswd,dev” ~trac/dev
curl -I localhost:8000
