     1= The Trac Configuration File =
    22[[TracGuideToc]]
    33
    4 Trac configuration is done by editing the ''trac.ini'' config file, located in {{{<projectenv>/conf/trac.ini}}}.
     4Trac 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.
     5
     6The `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.
     7
     8== Global Configuration ==
     9
     10In 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.
     11
     12Global options will be merged with the environment-specific options, where local options override global options. The options file is specified as follows:
     13{{{
     14[inherit]
     15file = /path/to/global/trac.ini
     16}}}
     17Multiple files can be specified using a comma-separated list.
     18
     19Note 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.
     20
     21There 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.
     22
     23== Reference for settings
    524
    625This is a brief reference of available configuration options.

    17 || htdocs_location || Base URL for static Trac graphics and CSS files ||
    18 || database        || Database to use for this project ||
    19 || templates_dir   || Path of Clearsilver templates ||
    20 || default_charset || Source files uses this charset ||
     29== Reference for special sections

    2131
    22 == [logging] ==
    23 || log_type  || Logging facility to use. (none, file, stderr, syslog, winlog) ||
    24 || log_file  || If ''log_type'' is ''file'', this should be a path to the log-file ||
    25 || log_level || Level of verbosity in log (CRITICAL, ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG) ||
     32=== [components] === #components-section
     33This 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.
    2634
    27 See also: TracLogging
     35The 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.
    2836
    29 == [ticket] ==
    30 || default_version   || Default version for newly created tickets ||
    31 || default_severity  || Default severity for newly created tickets ||
    32 || default_priority  || Default priority for newly created tickets ||
    33 || default_milestone || Default milestone for newly created tickets ||
    34 || default_component || Default component for newly created tickets ||
     37Consider the following configuration snippet:
     38{{{
     39[components]
     40trac.ticket.report.ReportModule = disabled
     41webadmin.* = enabled
     42}}}
    3543
    36 See also: TracTicketsCustomFields
     44The 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.
    3745
    38 == [attachment] ==
    39 || max_size || Maximum allowed file size for ticket and wiki attachments ||
     46See the ''Plugins'' page on ''About Trac'' to get the list of active components (requires `CONFIG_VIEW` [wiki:TracPermissions permissions].)
    4047
    41 == [notification] ==
    42 || smtp_enabled   || Enable SMTP (email) notification (true, false) ||

     50=== [milestone-groups] === #milestone-groups-section
     51''(since 0.11)''
    5052
    51 == [header_logo] ==
    52 || src    || URL to image to use as header logo ||
    53 || link   || Destination URL to link to from header logo ||
    54 || alt    || ''alt'' text for header logo ||
    55 || width  || Header logo width in pixels ||
    56 || height || Header logo height in pixels ||
     53As the workflow for tickets is now configurable, there can be many ticket states,
     54and simply displaying closed tickets vs. all the others is maybe not appropriate
     55in all cases. This section enables one to easily create ''groups'' of states
     56that will be shown in different colors in the milestone progress bar.
    5757
    58 == [mimeviewer] ==
    59 || enscript_path || Path to Enscript program ||
     58Example configuration (the default only has closed and active):
     59{{{
     60closed = closed
     61# sequence number in the progress bar
     62closed.order = 0
     63# optional extra param for the query (two additional columns: created and modified and sort on created)
     64closed.query_args = group=resolution,order=time,col=id,col=summary,col=owner,col=type,col=priority,col=component,col=severity,col=time,col=changetime
     65# indicates groups that count for overall completion
     66closed.overall_completion = truepercentage
    6067
    61 == [timeline] ==
    62 || changeset_show_files || Number of files to show (-1 for unlimited, 0 to disable) ||
     68new = new
     69new.order = 1
     70new.css_class = new
     71new.label = new
    6372
    64 == [diff] ==
    65 || tab_width || Displayed tab width in changeset diffs ||
     73# one catch-all group is allowed
     74active = *
     75active.order = 2
     76# CSS class for this interval
     77active.css_class = open
     78# Displayed label for this group
     79active.label = in progress
     80}}}
    6681
    67 [[BR]]
     82The definition consists in a comma-separated list of accepted status.
     83Also, '*' means any status and could be used to associate all remaining
     84states to one catch-all group.
     85
     86The CSS class can be one of: new (yellow), open (no color) or
     87closed (green). New styles can easily be added using the following
     88selector:  `table.progress td.<class>`
     89
     90=== [repositories] === #repositories-section
     91
     92(''since 0.12'' multirepos)
     93
     94One of the alternatives for registering new repositories is to populate the `[repositories]` section of the trac.ini.
     95
     96This is especially suited for setting up convenience aliases, short-lived repositories, or during the initial phases of an installation.
     97
     98See [TracRepositoryAdmin#Intrac.ini TracRepositoryAdmin] for details about the format adopted for this section and the rest of that page for the other alternatives.
     99
     100=== [svn:externals] === #svn:externals-section
     101''(since 0.11)''
     102
     103The TracBrowser for Subversion can interpret the `svn:externals` property of folders.
     104By default, it only turns the URLs into links as Trac can't browse remote repositories.
     105
     106However, 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.
     107
     108This mapping is done in the `[svn:externals]` section of the TracIni
     109
     110Example:
     111{{{
     112[svn:externals]
     1131 = svn://server/repos1                       http://trac/proj1/browser/$path?rev=$rev
     1142 = svn://server/repos2                       http://trac/proj2/browser/$path?rev=$rev
     1153 = http://theirserver.org/svn/eng-soft       http://ourserver/viewvc/svn/$path/?pathrev=25914
     1164 = svn://anotherserver.com/tools_repository  http://ourserver/tracs/tools/browser/$path?rev=$rev
     117}}}
     118With 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).
     119
     120Note 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.
     121
     122Finally, the relative URLs introduced in [http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.5_releasenotes.html#externals Subversion 1.5] are not yet supported.
     123
     124=== [ticket-custom] === #ticket-custom-section
     125
     126In this section, you can define additional fields for tickets. See TracTicketsCustomFields for more details.
     127
     128=== [ticket-workflow] === #ticket-workflow-section
     129''(since 0.11)''
     130
     131The workflow for tickets is controlled by plugins.
     132By default, there's only a `ConfigurableTicketWorkflow` component in charge.
     133That component allows the workflow to be configured via this section in the trac.ini file.
     134See TracWorkflow for more details.
