     1= The Trac Configuration File = 
     2 
     3[[TracGuideToc]] 
     4 
     5Trac 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. 
     6 
     7The `trac.ini` configuration file should be writable by the web server, as Trac currently relies on the possibility to trigger a complete environment reload to flush its caches. 
     8 
     9== Global Configuration == 
     10 
     11In versions prior to 0.11, the global configuration was by default located in `$prefix/share/trac/conf/trac.ini` or /etc/trac/trac.ini, depending on the distribution. If you're upgrading, you may want to specify that file to inherit from.  Literally, when you're upgrading to 0.11, you have to add an `[inherit]` section to your project's `trac.ini` file. Additionally, you have to move your customized templates and common images from `$prefix/share/trac/...` to the new location. 
     12 
     13Global options will be merged with the environment-specific options, where local options override global options. The options file is specified as follows: 
     14{{{ 
     15[inherit] 
     16file = /path/to/global/trac.ini 
     17}}} 
     18Multiple files can be specified using a comma-separated list. 
     19 
     20Note 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 [TracAdmin#initenv 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. 
     21 
     22There are two more entries in the [[#inherit-section| [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. 
     23 
     24Note 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 be sure to refresh your modifications when you upgrade to a new version of Trac (the preferred way to perform TracInterfaceCustomization being still to write a custom plugin doing an appropriate `ITemplateStreamFilter` transformation). 
     25 
     26== Reference for settings 
     27 
     28This is a brief reference of available configuration options, and their default settings. 
     29 
     30[[TracIni]] 
     31 
     32== Reference for special sections 
     33[[PageOutline(3,,inline)]] 
     34 
     35=== [components] === #components-section 
     36This 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. 
     37 
     38The 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. 
     39 
     40Consider the following configuration snippet: 
     41{{{ 
     42[components] 
     43trac.ticket.report.ReportModule = disabled 
     44webadmin.* = enabled 
     45}}} 
     46 
     47The first option tells Trac to disable the [wiki:TracReports 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. 
     48 
     49See the ''Plugins'' page on ''About Trac'' to get the list of active components (requires `CONFIG_VIEW` [wiki:TracPermissions permissions].)

     52 
     53=== [milestone-groups] === #milestone-groups-section 
     54''(since 0.11)'' 
     55 
     56As the workflow for tickets is now configurable, there can be many ticket states, 
     57and simply displaying closed tickets vs. all the others is maybe not appropriate  
     58in all cases. This section enables one to easily create ''groups'' of states  
     59that will be shown in different colors in the milestone progress bar. 
     60 
     61Example configuration (the default only has closed and active): 
     62{{{ 
     63closed = closed 
     64# sequence number in the progress bar 
     65closed.order = 0 
     66# optional extra param for the query (two additional columns: created and modified and sort on created) 
     67closed.query_args = group=resolution,order=time,col=id,col=summary,col=owner,col=type,col=priority,col=component,col=severity,col=time,col=changetime 
     68# indicates groups that count for overall completion percentage 
     69closed.overall_completion = true 
     70 
     71new = new 
     72new.order = 1 
     73new.css_class = new 
     74new.label = new 
     75 
     76# one catch-all group is allowed 
     77active = * 
     78active.order = 2 
     79# CSS class for this interval 
     80active.css_class = open 
     81# Displayed label for this group 
     82active.label = in progress 
     83}}} 
     84 
     85The definition consists in a comma-separated list of accepted status. 
     86Also, '*' means any status and could be used to associate all remaining 
     87states to one catch-all group. 
     88 
     89The CSS class can be one of: new (yellow), open (no color) or 
     90closed (green). New styles can easily be added using the following 
     91selector:  `table.progress td.<class>` 
     92 
     93=== [repositories] === #repositories-section 
     94 
     95(''since 0.12'' multirepos) 
     96 
     97One of the alternatives for registering new repositories is to populate the `[repositories]` section of the trac.ini. 
     98 
     99This is especially suited for setting up convenience aliases, short-lived repositories, or during the initial phases of an installation. 
     100 
     101See [TracRepositoryAdmin#Intrac.ini TracRepositoryAdmin] for details about the format adopted for this section and the rest of that page for the other alternatives. 
     102 
     103=== [svn:externals] === #svn:externals-section 
     104''(since 0.11)'' 
     105 
     106The TracBrowser for Subversion can interpret the `svn:externals` property of folders. 
     107By default, it only turns the URLs into links as Trac can't browse remote repositories. 
     108 
     109However, if you have another Trac instance (or an other repository browser like [http://www.viewvc.org/ ViewVC]) configured to browse the target repository, then you can instruct Trac which other repository browser to use for which external URL. 
     110 
     111This mapping is done in the `[svn:externals]` section of the TracIni 
     112 
     113Example: 
     114{{{ 
     115[svn:externals] 
     1161 = svn://server/repos1                       http://trac/proj1/browser/$path?rev=$rev 
     1172 = svn://server/repos2                       http://trac/proj2/browser/$path?rev=$rev 
     1183 = http://theirserver.org/svn/eng-soft       http://ourserver/viewvc/svn/$path/?pathrev=25914 
     1194 = svn://anotherserver.com/tools_repository  http://ourserver/tracs/tools/browser/$path?rev=$rev 
     120}}} 
     121With 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 [http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.advanced.externals.html SVN Book on externals] for more details). 
     122 
     123Note 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. 
     124 
     125Finally, the relative URLs introduced in [http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.5_releasenotes.html#externals Subversion 1.5] are not yet supported. 
     126 
     127=== [ticket-custom] === #ticket-custom-section 
     128 
     129In this section, you can define additional fields for tickets. See TracTicketsCustomFields for more details. 
     130 
     131=== [ticket-workflow] === #ticket-workflow-section 
     132''(since 0.11)'' 
     133 
     134The workflow for tickets is controlled by plugins.  
     135By default, there's only a `ConfigurableTicketWorkflow` component in charge.  
     136That component allows the workflow to be configured via this section in the trac.ini file. 
     137See TracWorkflow for more details.
