Comment:

Please reread the install docs, the part specific about setting up the
authentication information. Depending on the backend used:
- TracCgi#AddingAuthentication
- TracModPython#ConfiguringAuthentication
- TracStandalone#UsingAuthentication

I'm leaving this open though, as I think we get that installation issue
reported often enough and that maybe it's time to output a more friendly
and informative message to the user.
