The Trac Configuration File

Trac configuration is done by editing the trac.ini config file, located in <projectenv>/conf/trac.ini. Changes to the configuration are usually 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

In versions prior to 0.11, the global configuration was by default located in $prefix/share/trac/conf/trac.ini or sometimes /etc/trac/trac.ini depending on the distribution. If you're upgrading, you may want to specify that file to inherit from. Literally, when you're upgrading to 0.11, you have to add an inherit-section to your project's trac.ini file. Additionally you have to move your customized templates and common images from $prefix/share/trac/... to the new location.

Global options will be merged with the environment-specific options, where local options override global options. The options file is specified as follows:

[inherit]
file = /usr/share/trac/conf/trac.ini

Note that you can also specify a global option file when creating a new project, by adding the option --inherit=/path/to/global/options to trac-admin's initenv command. If you would not do this but nevertheless intend to use a global option file with your new environment, you would have to go through the newly generated conf/trac.ini file and delete the entries that would otherwise override those set in the global file.

Reference

This is a brief reference of available configuration options.

[account-manager]

account_changes_notify_addresses	List of email addresses that get notified of user changes, ie, new user, password change and delete user.
authentication_url
force_passwd_change	Forge the user to change password when it's reset.
generated_password_length	Length of the randomly-generated passwords created when resetting the password for an account.
hash_method
htdigest_realm
notify_actions	Comma separated list of actions to notify of. Available actions 'new', 'change', 'delete'.
password_file	Path to the users file. Leave blank to locate the users file by reading svnserve.conf
password_format
password_store

[announcer]

admit_domains	Comma-separated list of domains that should be considered as valid for email addresses (such as localdomain)
always_notify_component_owner	Whether or not to notify the owner of the ticket's component.
always_notify_owner	The always_notify_owner option mimics the option of the same name in the notification section, except users can opt-out in their preferences. Used only if LegacyTicketSubscriber? is enabled.
always_notify_reporter	The always_notify_reporter option mimics the option of the same name in the notification section, except users can opt-out in their preferences. Used only if LegacyTicketSubscriber? is enabled.
always_notify_updater	The always_notify_updater option mimics the option of the same name in the notification section, except users can opt-out in their preferences. Used only if LegacyTicketSubscriber? is enabled.
default_email_format	The default mime type of the email notifications. This can be overriden on a per user basis through the announcer preferences panel.
email_address_resolvers	Comma seperated list of email resolver components in the order they will be called. If an email address is resolved, the remaining resolvers will no be called.
ignore_cc_changes	When true, the system will not send out announcement events if the only field that was changed was CC. A change to the CC field that happens at the same as another field will still result in an event being created.
ignore_domains	Comma-separated list of domains that should not be considered part of email addresses (for usernames with Kerberos domains)
joinable_groups	Joinable groups represent 'opt-in' groups that users may freely join. The name of the groups should be a simple alphanumeric string. By adding the group name preceeded by @ (such as @sec for the sec group) to the CC field of a ticket, everyone in that group will receive an announcement when that ticket is changed.
mime_encoding	Specifies the MIME encoding scheme for emails. Valid options are 'base64' for Base64 encoding, 'qp' for Quoted-Printable, and 'none' for no encoding. Note that the no encoding means that non-ASCII characters in text are going to cause problems with notifications (since 0.10).
smtp_always_bcc	Email address(es) to always send notifications to, addresses do not appear publicly (Bcc:). (since 0.10).
smtp_always_cc	Email address(es) to always send notifications to, addresses can be see by all recipients (Cc:).

use_threaded_delivery	If true, the actual delivery of the message will occur in a separate thread. Enabling this will improve responsiveness for requests that end up with an announcement being sent over email. It requires building Python with threading support enabled-- which is usually the case. To test, start Python and type 'import threading' to see if it raises an error.
use_tls	Use SSL/TLS to send notifications (since 0.10).
watchable_paths	List of URL paths to allow watching. Globs are supported.

[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
webadmin.* = enabled

The first option tells Trac to disable the report module. The second option instructs Trac to enable all components in the webadmin package. Note that the trailing wildcard is required for module/package matching.

See the Plugins page on About Trac to get the list of active components (requires CONFIG_VIEW permissions.)

See also: TracPlugins

[ticket-custom]

In this section, you can define additional fields for tickets. See TracTicketsCustomFields for more details.

[ticket-workflow]

(since 0.11)

The workflow for tickets is controlled by plugins. By default, there's only a ConfigurableTicketWorkflow component in charge. That component allows the workflow to be configured via this section in the trac.ini file. See TracWorkflow for more details.

[milestone-groups]

(since 0.11)

As the workflow for tickets is now configurable, there can be many ticket states, and simply displaying closed tickets vs. all the others is maybe not appropriate in all cases. This section enables one to easily create groups of states that will be shown in different colors in the milestone progress bar.

Example configuration (the default only has closed and active):

closed = closed
closed.order = 0                     # sequence number in the progress bar
closed.query_args = group=resolution # optional extra param for the query
closed.overall_completion = true     # indicates groups that count for overall completion percentage

new = new
new.order = 1
new.css_class = new
new.label = new

active = *                           # one catch-all group is allowed
active.order = 1
active.css_class = open              # CSS class for this interval
active.label = in progress           # Displayed label for this group

The definition consists in a comma-separated list of accepted status. Also, '*' means any status and could be used to associate all remaining states to one catch-all group.

The CSS class can be one of: new (yellow), open (no color) or closed (green). New styles can easily be added using the following selector: table.progress td.<class>

[svn:externals]

The TracBrowser for Subversion can interpret the svn:externals property of folders out of the box. However, if those externals are not using the http: protocol, or if a link to a different repository browser (such another Trac or  ViewVC) is desired, then Trac needs to be able to map an external prefix to this other 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/$path/?pathrev=25914
4 = svn://anotherserver.com/tools_repository  http://ourserver/trac/support/browser/$path?rev=$rev

With the above, the svn://anotherserver.com/tools_repository/tags/1.1/tools external will be mapped to http://ourserver/trac/support/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.
