The Trac Configuration File
[Note To Editors] Please discuss documentation changes in the #Discussion section. Even better, send us documentation patches against the code (i.e. where the configuration entries are documented), either on Trac-dev or on new tickets.
Table of Contents
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 = /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 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).
Reference for settings
This is a brief reference of available configuration options, and their default settings.
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.
[attachment]
max_size | Maximum allowed file size (in bytes) for attachments. | 262144 |
max_zip_size |
Maximum allowed total size (in bytes) for an attachment list to be
downloadable as a | 2097152 |
render_unsafe_content | Whether attachments should be rendered in the browser, or only made downloadable. Pretty much any file may be interpreted as HTML by the browser, which allows a malicious user to attach a file containing cross-site scripting attacks. For public sites where anonymous users can create attachments it is recommended to leave this option disabled. | disabled |
[browser]
color_scale | Enable colorization of the age column. This uses the same color scale as the source code annotation: blue is older, red is newer. | 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. | /trunk,/branches/*,/tags/* |
hide_properties | Comma-separated list of version control properties to hide from the repository browser. | svk:merge |
intermediate_color |
(r,g,b) color triple to use for the color corresponding
to the intermediate color, if two linear interpolations are used
for the color scale (see | (no default) |
intermediate_point |
If set to a value between 0 and 1 (exclusive), this will be the
point chosen to set the | (no default) |
newest_color |

to the newest color, for the color scale used in blame or
the browser age column if | (255, 136, 136) |
oldest_color |
(r,g,b) color triple to use for the color corresponding
to the oldest color, for the color scale used in blame or
the browser age column if | (136, 136, 255) |
oneliner_properties | Comma-separated list of version control properties to render as oneliner wiki content in the repository browser. | trac:summary |
render_unsafe_content | Whether raw files should be rendered in the browser, or only made downloadable. Pretty much any file may be interpreted as HTML by the browser, which allows a malicious user to create a file containing cross-site scripting attacks. For open repositories where anyone can check-in a file, it is recommended to leave this option disabled. | disabled |
wiki_properties | Comma-separated list of version control properties to render as wiki content in the repository browser. | trac:description |
[changeset]
max_diff_bytes | Maximum total size in bytes of the modified files (their old size plus their new size) for which the changeset view will attempt to show the diffs inlined. | 10000000 |
max_diff_files | Maximum number of modified files for which the changeset view will attempt to show the diffs inlined. | 0 |
wiki_format_messages | Whether wiki formatting should be applied to changeset messages. If this option is disabled, changeset messages will be rendered as pre-formatted text. | enabled |
[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 acct_mgr.* = enabled
The first option tells Trac to disable the
report module.
The second option instructs Trac to enable all components in
the acct_mgr 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).

this section that contain a . are of the format
<name>.<attribute>. Option names that don't contain a . define
an alias.
The .url attribute is mandatory and is used for locating the
other Trac. This can be a relative path when the other Trac
environment is located on the same server.
The .title attribute is used for generating a tooltip when the
cursor is hovered over an InterTrac link.

[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.

[milestone]
default_group_by | Default field to use for grouping tickets in the grouped progress bar. (since 1.2) | component |
default_retarget_to | Default milestone to which tickets are retargeted when closing or deleting a milestone. (since 1.1.2) | (no default) |
stats_provider |
Name of the component implementing | 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.

[svn:externals]
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 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
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 Subversion 1.5 are not yet supported.

Custom phrases are configurable by providing associations between a CSS class and the list of phrases separated by comma.
Example:
[wikiextras-custom-phrases] nice = NICE, COOL
[wikiextras-symbols]
The set of symbols is configurable by providing associations between symbols and wiki keywords. A default set of symbols and keywords is defined, which can be revoked one-by-one (_remove) or all at once (_remove_defaults).
Example:
[wikiextras-symbols] _remove_defaults = true _remove = <- -> « = << » = >> ∑ = (SUM) ♥ = <3
Keywords are space-separated!
A symbol can also be removed by associating it with no keyword:
← =
Use the ShowSymbols macro to find out the current set of symbols
and keywords.
_remove | Space-separated(!) list of keywords that shall not be interpreted as symbols (even if defined in this section). | (no default) |
_remove_defaults | Set to true to remove all default symbols. | disabled |
Reference for special sections
[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.
See the Plugins page on About Trac to get the list of active components (requires CONFIG_VIEW permissions.)
See also: TracPlugins
[milestone-groups]
(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 percentage closed.overall_completion = true 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>
[repositories]
(since 0.12 multirepos)
One of the alternatives for registering new repositories is to populate the [repositories] section of the trac.ini.
This is especially suited for setting up convenience aliases, short-lived repositories, or during the initial phases of an installation.
See TracRepositoryAdmin for details about the format adopted for this section and the rest of that page for the other alternatives.
[svn:externals]
(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 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 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 Subversion 1.5 are not yet supported.
[ticket-custom]
In this section, you can define additional fields for tickets. See TracTicketsCustomFields for more details.
[ticket-workflow]
(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.

Please discuss documentation changes here. Even better, send us documentation patches against the code, either on Trac-dev or on new tickets.
