view of trac modules, when using webadmin to show plugins

[mala]

I am using trac 0.9.6 and just got webadmin working (works fine). However, when in the webadmin controls of the browser, I sometimes can see a list of modules of trac itself and the installed plugins and it seems I can enable or disable these modules anyway. I added ascreenshot, so you can see, what I mean. I is not everytime, I follow this link, I get this layout. In most cases It showes me my plugins, that is what it should really do. And sometimes I get Server error messages and on refresh I got this.

Ok Ok, I would have liked to add the screenshot, but trac would not let me do. I got this erroe three times I tried:

Maybe I try once more later.

Viewing Trac 'internal' modules from within the WebAdmin plugin page is exactly what is meant to be.

The WebAdmin (that is, the trac.ini file which is modified by WebAdmin) plugin allows to enable/disable the different modules Trac when the related feature is not wanted (for example, disabling the "Settings" page), or when the admin wants to replace a default module with a custom one, loaded as a plugin.

This is not a bug, this is a feature. ;-)

About the second part of your bug report: the server error messages you randomly see are usually triggered when the server has not been restarted after enabling/disabling a plugin. Did you restart your server ?

Closing as invalid, feel free to re-open this ticket if I misunderstood your report.

Notes:

• Please use {{{ ... }}} enclosing braces when quoting a Python traceback, so that it does not get interpretated as Wiki text
• Please use the ML for installation/configuration issues, before filling in a new ticket if the issue is actually a bug.

About the error w/ the attachment: there is a known bug in the askimet filter of the SpamFilter plugin, see #3339.
