= TracAdmin = [[TracGuideToc]] Trac is distributed with a powerful command-line configuration tool. This tool can be used to configure and customize your Trac-installation to better fit your needs. Some of those operations can also be performed via the ''Admin'' web interface, an updated version of the [trac:WebAdmin] plugin now integrated within Trac (since version 0.11). == Usage == You can get a comprehensive list of the available options, commands and sub-commands by invoking `trac-admin` with the `help` command:. {{{ trac-admin help }}} Unless you're executing the `help`, `about` or `version` sub-commands, you'll need to specify the path to the TracEnvironment that you want to administer as the first argument, for example: {{{ trac-admin /path/to/projenv wiki list }}} `trac-admin` only accept two command line options, `--version` and `--help`. The former give you the Trac admin version number (e.g. 0.12) and the second a very succinct list of commands (`help` and `initenv`). === `trac-admin <targetdir> initenv` === #initenv This subcommand is very important as it's the one used to create a TracEnvironment in the specified `<targetdir>`. That directory must not exists prior to the call. It supports an extra `--inherit` option, which can be used to specify a global configuration file which can be used share settings between several environments. You can also inherit from a shared configuration afterwards, by setting the `[inherit] file` option in the `conf/trac.ini` file in your newly created environment, but the advantage of specifying the inherited configuration file at environment creation time is that only the options ''not'' already specified in the global configuration file will be written in the created environment's `conf/trac.ini` file. See TracIni#GlobalConfiguration. Note that in version 0.11 of Trac, `initenv` lost an extra last argument `<templatepath>`, which was used in previous versions to point to the `templates` folder. If you are using the one-liner '`trac-admin /path/to/trac/ initenv <projectname> <db> <repostype> <repospath>`' in the above and getting an error that reads ''''`Wrong number of arguments to initenv: 4`'''', then this is because you're using a `trac-admin` script from an '''older''' version of Trac. == Interactive Mode == When passing the environment path as the only argument, `trac-admin` starts in interactive mode. Commands can then be executed on the selected environment using the prompt, which offers tab-completion (on non-Windows environments, and when the Python `readline` module is available) and automatic repetition of the last command issued. Once you're in interactive mode, you can also get help on specific commands or subsets of commands: For example, to get an explanation of the `resync` command, run: {{{ > help resync }}} To get help on all the Wiki-related commands, run: {{{ > help wiki }}} == Full Command Reference == [[TracAdminHelp()]] ---- See also: TracGuide, TracBackup, TracPermissions, TracEnvironment, TracIni, [trac:TracMigrate TracMigrate]
