The Trac Configuration File
Table of Contents
Trac is configured through the trac.ini file, located in the <projectenv>/conf directory. The trac.ini configuration file and its parent directory should be writable by the web server.
Trac monitors the timestamp of the file to trigger an environment reload when the timestamp changes. Most changes to the configuration will be reflected immediately, though changes to the [components] or [logging] sections will require restarting the web server. You may also need to restart the web server after creating a global configuration file when none was previously present.
Global Configuration
Configuration can be shared among environments using one or more global configuration files. Options in the global configuration will be merged with the environment-specific options, with local options overriding global options. The global configuration file is specified as follows:
[inherit] file = /path/to/global/trac.ini
Multiple files can be specified using a comma-separated list. Non-absolute paths are relative to the Environment conf directory.
Note that you can also specify a global option file when creating a new project, by adding the option --inherit=/path/to/global/trac.ini to trac-admin's initenv command. If you specify --inherit but nevertheless intend to use a global option file with your new environment, you will have to go through the newly generated conf/trac.ini file and delete the entries that will otherwise override those in the global file.
There are three more options in the [inherit] section, templates_dir for sharing global templates, htdocs_dir for sharing global htdocs and plugins_dir, for sharing plugins. Those options can be specified in the shared configuration file, and in fact, configuration files can even be chained if you specify another [inherit] file there.
Note that the templates found in the templates/ directory of the TracEnvironment have precedence over those found in [inherit] templates_dir. In turn, the latter have precedence over the installed templates, so be careful about what you put there. Notably, if you override a default template, refresh your modifications when you upgrade to a new version of Trac. The preferred way to perform TracInterfaceCustomization is to write a custom plugin doing an appropriate ITemplateStreamFilter transformation.
Reference for settings
This is a reference of available configuration options, and their default settings.
Documentation improvements should be discussed on the trac-dev mailing list or described in a ticket. Even better, submit a patch against the docstrings in the code.

Pretty much any file may be interpreted as HTML by the browser, which allows a malicious user to attach a file containing cross-site scripting attacks. For public sites where anonymous users can create attachments it is recommended to leave this option disabled. | disabled |
[components]
This section is used to enable or disable components
provided by plugins, as well as by Trac itself. The component
to enable/disable is specified via the name of the
option. Whether its enabled is determined by the option value;
setting the value to enabled or on will enable the
component, any other value (typically disabled or off)
will disable the component.
The option name is either the fully qualified name of the components or the module/package prefix of the component. The former enables/disables a specific component, while the latter enables/disables any component in the specified package/module.
Consider the following configuration snippet:
[components] trac.ticket.report.ReportModule = disabled acct_mgr.* = enabled
The first option tells Trac to disable the
report module.
The second option instructs Trac to enable all components in
the acct_mgr package. Note that the trailing wildcard is
required for module/package matching.
To view the list of active components, go to the Plugins
page on About Trac (requires CONFIG_VIEW
permissions).

[extra-permissions]
This section provides a way to add arbitrary permissions to a Trac environment. This can be useful for adding new permissions to use for workflow actions, for example.
To add new permissions, create a new section [extra-permissions] in
your trac.ini. Every entry in that section defines a meta-permission
and a comma-separated list of permissions. For example:
[extra-permissions] EXTRA_ADMIN = EXTRA_VIEW, EXTRA_MODIFY, EXTRA_DELETE
This entry will define three new permissions EXTRA_VIEW,
EXTRA_MODIFY and EXTRA_DELETE, as well as a meta-permissions
EXTRA_ADMIN that grants all three permissions.
The permissions are created in upper-case characters regardless of
the casing of the definitions in trac.ini. For example, the
definition extra_view would create the permission EXTRA_VIEW.
If you don't want a meta-permission, start the meta-name with an
underscore (_):
[extra-permissions] _perms = EXTRA_VIEW, EXTRA_MODIFY

[svn:externals]
The TracBrowser for Subversion can interpret the svn:externals
property of folders. By default, it only turns the URLs into links as
Trac can't browse remote repositories.
However, if you have another Trac instance (or an other repository
browser like ViewVC) configured to browse the
target repository, then you can instruct Trac which other repository
browser to use for which external URL. This mapping is done in the
[svn:externals] section of the TracIni.
Example:
[svn:externals] 1 = svn://server/repos1 http://trac/proj1/browser/$path?rev=$rev 2 = svn://server/repos2 http://trac/proj2/browser/$path?rev=$rev 3 = http://theirserver.org/svn/eng-soft http://ourserver/viewvc/svn/$path/?pathrev=25914 4 = svn://anotherserver.com/tools_repository http://ourserver/tracs/tools/browser/$path?rev=$rev
With the above, the
svn://anotherserver.com/tools_repository/tags/1.1/tools external will
be mapped to http://ourserver/tracs/tools/browser/tags/1.1/tools?rev=
(and rev will be set to the appropriate revision number if the
external additionally specifies a revision, see the
SVN Book on externals for more details).
Note that the number used as a key in the above section is purely used as a place holder, as the URLs themselves can't be used as a key due to various limitations in the configuration file parser.
Finally, the relative URLs introduced in Subversion 1.5 are not yet supported.

Configure Error Reporting
The error reporting page has a Create button for reporting issues. The site to which issues are reported depends on the configuration of the Trac site and the user’s permissions.
If the user doesn’t possess TRAC_ADMIN, the site to which a user is directed to create a ticket is determined by the [trac] admin_trac_url setting:
- If empty, there will be no Create button.
- If set to the default value (
.), the ticket will be created on the site which the error occurred. - Otherwise the ticket will be created at the site pointed
to by
admin_trac_url.
If [project] admin is not empty, the administrator's email address will be rendered on the error page.
If the user possesses TRAC_ADMIN, the Create button will direct the user to report the issue on trac.edgewall.org. If the error was generated in a plugin, the error will be reported to the project URL provided that the plugin author has included the project URL in the plugin installation data. The user possessing TRAC_ADMIN also sees a traceback and system information on the error page.
