On windows installs, there is usually a little system tray applet called
something like 'apache monitor' which will tell you. If it is not
running you can run it from the start menu apache folder. This also
makes it easy to start/stop apache.
In case you are not sure, apache is the common name for the well known
web server software provided by the apache foundation, although I
believe that strictly speaking apache 'httpd' is the web software,
apache do quite a lot of software, now including subversion of course.
You can run both trac and subversion with or without apache, both
approaches have advantages. This is an example why it helps to give
more background info about your setup when posting a question, then help
can be tailored to your needs...

You do not need apache but have a read of both the subversion red-book
docs [1] and the trac guides [2] to help you decide. If you do decide
on apache, it is a separate download and install and no, it's not
included in python.

[2] http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracInstall
The *.so files are apache loadable modules that you need to get
subversion running behind apache and need to be added to your apache
config. You do not need them if you are running trac and subversion
stand-alone.

No, sorry, I can see why you might think that. No, you just need to
copy all the .pyd files (which is just a DLL with a python-specific
extension) to *.dll but keep them in the same directory. I'm not
totally sure why this is necessary but it does not work properly if you
don't! Did you read the link I included?
> I appreciate any input. Thank you,
No problems, I hope you get it working.
