[Bug 469641] [NEW] trac broken after changing logging settings

[Bernard François]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: trac

- open trac
- click the Admin button
- click on 'Loggin' under 'General'
- choose Type = file, Log level = DEBUG
- note that the 'Log file' is set to 'trac.log'
- click the 'Apply changes' button
- observe that you get an 'Internal Server Error' screen when you browse to any trac page

I managed to fix the bug by changing 'trac.log' to '/tmp/trac.log' in the trac.ini file.
This is probably a file permission issue.

trac should properly handle the case in which it cannot create a file.
Even if the user would enter some arbitrary values (or make a typo) in
the log file text field, this should not render trac unusable.
