wiki:TracIni

The Trac Configuration File

Trac is configured by editing 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 a complete environment reload and flush its caches 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.

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 do not do this 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 set in the global file.

There are two more entries in the [inherit] section, templates_dir for sharing global templates and plugins_dir, for sharing plugins. Those entries can themselves 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 still to write a custom plugin doing an appropriate ITemplateStreamFilter transformation.

Reference for settings

This is a brief 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.

This uses the same color scale as the source code annotation: blue is older, red is newer. (since 0.11)

enabled
downloadable_paths

List of repository paths that can be downloaded.

Leave this option empty if you want to disable all downloads, otherwise set it to a comma-separated list of authorized paths (those paths are glob patterns, i.e. "*" can be used as a wild card). In a multi-repository environment, the path must be qualified with the repository name if the path does not point to the default repository (e.g. /reponame/trunk). Note that a simple prefix matching is performed on the paths, so aliases won't get automatically resolved. (since 0.10)

true

[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.

To view the list of active components, go to the Plugins page on About Trac (requires CONFIG_VIEW permissions).

(no default)
src

URL of the image to use as header logo. It can be absolute, server relative or relative.

If relative, it is relative to one of the /chrome locations: site/your-logo.png if your-logo.png is located in the htdocs folder within your TracEnvironment; common/your-logo.png if your-logo.png is located in the folder mapped to the htdocs_location URL. Only specifying your-logo.png is equivalent to the latter.

site/your_project_logo.png
width

Width of the header logo image in pixels.

-1

[inherit]

htdocs_dir

Path to the shared htdocs directory.

Static resources in that directory are mapped to /chrome/shared under the environment URL, in addition to common and site locations.

Path to the shared templates directory.

Templates in that directory are loaded in addition to those in the environments templates directory, but the latter take precedence.

Non-absolute paths are relative to the Environment conf directory. (since 0.11)

(no default)

[intertrac]

This section configures InterTrac prefixes. Options in this section whose name contain a "." define aspects of the InterTrac prefix corresponding to the option name up to the ".". Options whose name don't contain a "." define an alias.

The .url is mandatory and is used for locating the other Trac. This can be a relative URL in case that Trac environment is located on the same server.

The .title information is used for providing a useful tooltip when moving the cursor over an InterTrac link.

The .compat option can be used to activate or disable a compatibility mode:

  • If the targeted Trac is running a version below 0.10 (r3526 to be precise), then it doesn't know how to dispatch an InterTrac link, and it's up to the local Trac to prepare the correct link. Not all links will work that way, but the most common do. This is called the compatibility mode, and is false by default.
  • If you know that the remote Trac knows how to dispatch InterTrac links, you can explicitly disable this compatibility mode and then any TracLinks can become InterTrac links.

Example configuration:

[intertrac]
# -- Example of setting up an alias:
t = trac

# -- Link to an external Trac:
trac.title = Edgewall's Trac for Trac
trac.url = https://trac.edgewall.org

[interwiki]

Every option in the [interwiki] section defines one InterWiki prefix. The option name defines the prefix. The option value defines the URL, optionally followed by a description separated from the URL by whitespace. Parametric URLs are supported as well.

Example:

[interwiki]
MeatBall = http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl?
PEP = http://www.python.org/peps/pep-$1.html Python Enhancement Proposal $1
tsvn = tsvn: Interact with TortoiseSvn

[logging]

log_file

If log_type is file, this should be a path to the log-file. Relative paths are resolved relative to the log directory of the environment.

trac.log
log_format

Custom logging format.

If nothing is set, the following will be used:

Trac[$(module)s] $(levelname)s: $(message)s

In addition to regular key names supported by the Python logger library (see http://docs.python.org/library/logging.html), one could use:

  • $(path)s the path for the current environment
  • $(basename)s the last path component of the current environment
  • $(project)s the project name

Note the usage of $(...)s instead of %(...)s as the latter form would be interpreted by the ConfigParser? itself.

Example: ($(thread)d) Trac[$(basename)s:$(module)s] $(levelname)s: $(message)s

(since 0.10.5)

(no default)
log_level

Level of verbosity in log.

Should be one of (CRITICAL, ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG).

DEBUG
log_type

Logging facility to use.

Should be one of (none, file, stderr, syslog, winlog).

none

[milestone]

stats_provider

Name of the component implementing ITicketGroupStatsProvider, which is used to collect statistics on groups of tickets for display in the milestone views.

DefaultTicketGroupStatsProvider

[milestone-groups]

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.

Note that the groups can only be based on the ticket status, nothing else. In particular, it's not possible to distinguish between different closed tickets based on the resolution.

Example configuration with three groups, closed, new and active (the default only has closed and active):

# the 'closed' group correspond to the 'closed' tickets
closed = closed

# .order: sequence number in the progress bar
closed.order = 0

# .query_args: optional parameters for the corresponding
#              query.  In this example, the changes from the
#              default are two additional columns ('created' and
#              'modified'), and sorting is done on 'created'.
closed.query_args = group=resolution,order=time,col=id,col=summary,col=owner,col=type,col=priority,col=component,col=severity,col=time,col=changetime

# .overall_completion: indicates groups that count for overall
#                      completion percentage
closed.overall_completion = true

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

# Note: one catch-all group for other statuses is allowed
active = *
active.order = 2

# .css_class: CSS class for this interval
active.css_class = open

# .label: displayed label for this group
active.label = in progress

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). Other styles can easily be added using custom CSS rule: table.progress td.<class> { background: <color> } to a site/style.css file for example.

0
auth_cookie_path

Path for the authentication cookie. Set this to the common base path of several Trac instances if you want them to share the cookie. (since 0.12)

(no default)
authz_file

The path to the Subversion authorization (authz) file. To enable authz permission checking, the AuthzSourcePolicy permission policy must be added to [trac] permission_policies.

(no default)
authz_module_name

The module prefix used in the authz_file for the default repository. If left empty, the global section is used.

(no default)
auto_preview_timeout

Inactivity timeout in seconds after which the automatic wiki preview triggers an update. This option can contain floating-point values. The lower the setting, the more requests will be made to the server. Set this to 0 to disable automatic preview. The default is 2.0 seconds. (since 0.12)

2.0
auto_reload

Automatically reload template files after modification.

disabled
backup_dir

Database backup location

db
base_url

Reference URL for the Trac deployment.

This is the base URL that will be used when producing documents that will be used outside of the web browsing context, like for example when inserting URLs pointing to Trac resources in notification e-mails.

(no default)
check_auth_ip

Whether the IP address of the user should be checked for authentication (since 0.9).

false
database

Database connection string for this project

disabled
default_charset

Charset to be used when in doubt.

utf-8
default_date_format

The date format. Valid options are 'iso8601' for selecting ISO 8601 format, or leave it empty which means the default date format will be inferred from the browser's default language. (since 1.0)

(no default)
default_dateinfo_format

The date information format. Valid options are 'relative' for displaying relative format and 'absolute' for displaying absolute format. (since 1.0)

genshi_cache_size

The maximum number of templates that the template loader will cache in memory. The default value is 128. You may want to choose a higher value if your site uses a larger number of templates, and you have enough memory to spare, or you can reduce it if you are short on memory.

128
htdocs_location

Base URL for serving the core static resources below /chrome/common/.

It can be left empty, and Trac will simply serve those resources itself.

Advanced users can use this together with trac-admin ... deploy <deploydir> to allow serving the static resources for Trac directly from the web server. Note however that this only applies to the <deploydir>/htdocs/common directory, the other deployed resources (i.e. those from plugins) will not be made available this way and additional rewrite rules will be needed in the web server.

(no default)
ignore_auth_case

Whether login names should be converted to lower case (since 0.9).

false
jquery_location

Location of the jQuery JavaScript library (version 1.7.2).

An empty value loads jQuery from the copy bundled with Trac.

mysqldump_path

Location of mysqldump for MySQL database backups

mysqldump
never_obfuscate_mailto

Never obfuscate mailto: links explicitly written in the wiki, even if show_email_addresses is false or the user doesn't have EMAIL_VIEW permission (since 0.11.6).

false
permission_policies

List of components implementing IPermissionPolicy, in the order in which they will be applied. These components manage fine-grained access control to Trac resources. Defaults to the DefaultPermissionPolicy? (pre-0.11 behavior) and LegacyAttachmentPolicy? (map ATTACHMENT_* permissions to realm specific ones)

DefaultPermissionPolicy, LegacyAttachmentPolicy
permission_store

Name of the component implementing IPermissionStore, which is used for managing user and group permissions.

DefaultPermissionStore
pg_dump_path

Location of pg_dump for Postgres database backups

pg_dump
repository_dir

Path to the default repository. This can also be a relative path (since 0.11).

This option is deprecated, and repositories should be defined in the repositories section, or using the "Repositories" admin panel. (since 0.12)

(no default)
repository_sync_per_request

List of repositories that should be synchronized on every page request.

Leave this option empty if you have set up post-commit hooks calling trac-admin $ENV changeset added on all your repositories (recommended). Otherwise, set it to a comma-separated list of repository names. Note that this will negatively affect performance, and will prevent changeset listeners from receiving events from the repositories specified here. The default is to synchronize the default repository, for backward compatibility. (since 0.12)

(default)
repository_type

Default repository connector type. (since 0.10)

This is also used as the default repository type for repositories defined in the repositories section or using the "Repositories" admin panel. (since 0.12)

disabled
show_email_addresses

Show email addresses instead of usernames. If false, email addresses are obfuscated for users that don't have EMAIL_VIEW permission. (since 0.11)

Show IP addresses for resource edits (e.g. wiki). Since 1.0.5 this option is deprecated and will be removed in 1.3.1. (since 0.11.3)

false
timeout

Timeout value for database connection, in seconds. Use '0' to specify no timeout. (Since 0.11)

20
use_base_url_for_redirect

Optionally use [trac] base_url for redirects.

In some configurations, usually involving running Trac behind a HTTP proxy, Trac can't automatically reconstruct the URL that is used to access it. You may need to use this option to force Trac to use the base_url setting also for redirects. This introduces the obvious limitation that this environment will only be usable when accessible from that URL, as redirects are frequently used. (since 0.10.5)

disabled
use_chunked_encoding

If enabled, send contents as chunked encoding in HTTP/1.1. Otherwise, send contents with Content-Length header after entire of the contents are rendered. (since 1.0.6)

false
use_xsendfile

When true, send a X-Sendfile header and no content when sending files from the filesystem, so that the web server handles the content. This requires a web server that knows how to handle such a header, like Apache with mod_xsendfile or lighttpd. (since 1.0)

false
wiki_toolbars

Add a simple toolbar on top of Wiki <textarea>s. (since 1.0.2)

true
xsendfile_header

The header to use if use_xsendfile is enabled. If Nginx is used, set X-Accel-Redirect. (since 1.0.6)

Include sideline changes in the list of changes.

This option controls whether sideline changes (i.e. changes with dotted revision numbers only) are included in the list of changes as reported by the timeline view. Note that there might be other plugins using that information as well, so there might be other components beside the timeline view that get affected by this setting.

Defaults to True.

enabled

For public sites where anonymous users can edit the wiki it is recommended to leave this option disabled (which is the default).

false
safe_origins

List of URIs considered "safe cross-origin", that will be rendered as img element without crossorigin="anonymous" attribute or used in url() of inline style attribute even if [wiki] render_unsafe_content is false (since 1.0.15).
