+
+[[TracGuideToc]]
+
+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.
+
+The `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.
+
+== Global Configuration ==
+
+In 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.
+
+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 [TracAdmin trac-admin]'s `initenv` command.  If 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.
+
+
+== Reference ==
+
+This is a brief reference of available configuration options.
+
+ ''Note that the [bitten], [spam-filter] and [vote] sections below are added by plugins enabled on this Trac, and therefore won't be part of a default installation.''

+
+
+=== [components] === #components-section
+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 [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.
+
+See the ''Plugins'' page on ''About Trac'' to get the list of active components (requires `CONFIG_VIEW` [wiki:TracPermissions permissions].)
+
+See also: TracPlugins
+
+=== [ticket-custom] === #ticket-custom-section
+
+In this section, you can define additional fields for tickets. See TracTicketsCustomFields for more details.
+
+=== [ticket-workflow] === #ticket-workflow-section
+''(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] === #milestone-groups-section
+''(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
+# sequence number in the progress bar
+closed.order = 0
+# optional extra param for the query (two additional columns: created and modified and sort 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
+# indicates groups that count for overall completion 
+closed.overall_completion = truepercentage
+
+new = new
+new.order = 1
+new.css_class = new
+new.label = new
+
+# one catch-all group is allowed
+active = *
+active.order = 2
+# CSS class for this interval
+active.css_class = open
+# 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). New styles can easily be added using the following
+selector:  `table.progress td.<class>`
+
+=== [svn:externals] === #svn:externals-section
+''(since 0.11)''
+
+The TracBrowser for Subversion can interpret the `svn:externals` property of folders.
+By default, it only turns the URLs into links as Trac can't browse remote repositories.
+
+However, 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.
+
+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/$path/?pathrev=25914
+4 = svn://anotherserver.com/tools_repository  http://ourserver/tracs/tools/browser/$path?rev=$rev
+}}}
+With 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).
+
+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.
+
+Finally, the relative URLs introduced in [http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.5_releasenotes.html#externals Subversion 1.5] are not yet supported.
+
+== Discussion ==
+
+ ''Please discuss documentation changes here. Even better, send us documentation patches against the code, either on Trac-dev or on new tickets.''
+
+ * There is, apparently, an [svn] `repository_url` option that is not documented here. [[br]]
+   No, there's no such thing. There ''might'' be a plugin providing support for this, for Trac 0.12. However, Trac 0.12 will support an `url` property for repositories.
+ * It can be helpful to know the default values for each entry, perhaps specified in a common format such as square brackets [] at the end of the description (or at the beginning of the description). ''for 0.12?''
