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 and its parent directory 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.

| 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 (which is the default). | false |
[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. (since 0.11) | true |
| 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. (since 0.10) | /trunk, /branches/*, /tags/* |
| hide_properties | Comma-separated list of version control properties to hide from the repository browser. (since 0.9) | 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 intermediate_point). If not set, the intermediate color between oldest_color and newest_color will be used. (since 0.11) | (no default) |
| intermediate_point | If set to a value between 0 and 1 (exclusive), this will be the point chosen to set the intermediate_color for interpolating the color value. (since 0.11) | (no default) |
| newest_color | (r,g,b) color triple to use for the color corresponding to the newest color, for the color scale used in blame or the browser age column if color_scale is enabled. (since 0.11) | (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 color_scale is enabled. (since 0.11) | (136, 136, 255) |
| oneliner_properties | Comma-separated list of version control properties to render as oneliner wiki content in the repository browser. (since 0.11) | 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 (which is the default). | false |
| wiki_properties | Comma-separated list of version control properties to render as wiki content in the repository browser. (since 0.11) | trac:description |
[changeset]

| 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. | true |
[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.
To view the list of active components, go to the Plugins page on About Trac (requires CONFIG_VIEW permissions).

[header_logo]
| alt | Alternative text for the header logo. | (please configure the [header_logo] section in trac.ini) |
| height | Height of the header logo image in pixels. | -1 |
| link | URL to link to, from the header logo. | (no default) |
| src | URL of the image to use as header logo. It can be absolute, server relative or relative. If relative, it is relative to one of the /chrome locations: site/your-logo.png if your-logo.png is located in the htdocs folder within your TracEnvironment; common/your-logo.png if your-logo.png is located in the folder mapped to the htdocs_location URL. Only specifying your-logo.png is equivalent to the latter. | site/your_project_logo.png |
| width | Width of the header logo image in pixels. | -1 |
[inherit]
| htdocs_dir | Path to the shared htdocs directory. Static resources in that directory are mapped to /chrome/shared under the environment URL, in addition to common and site locations.

[intertrac]
This section configures InterTrac prefixes. Options in this section whose name contain a "." define aspects of the InterTrac prefix corresponding to the option name up to the ".". Options whose name don't contain a "." define an alias.
The .url is mandatory and is used for locating the other Trac. This can be a relative URL in case that Trac environment is located on the same server.
The .title information is used for providing a useful tooltip when moving the cursor over an InterTrac link.
The .compat option can be used to activate or disable a compatibility mode:
- If the targeted Trac is running a version below 0.10 (r3526 to be precise), then it doesn't know how to dispatch an InterTrac link, and it's up to the local Trac to prepare the correct link. Not all links will work that way, but the most common do. This is called the compatibility mode, and is true by default.
- If you know that the remote Trac knows how to dispatch InterTrac links, you can explicitly disable this compatibility mode and then any TracLinks can become InterTrac links.
Example configuration:
[intertrac] # -- Example of setting up an alias: t = trac # -- Link to an external Trac: trac.title = Edgewall's Trac for Trac trac.url = http://trac.edgewall.org
[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.
Example:
[interwiki] MeatBall = http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/mb.pl? PEP = http://www.python.org/peps/pep-$1.html Python Enhancement Proposal $1 tsvn = tsvn: Interact with TortoiseSvn
[logging]
| log_file | If log_type is file, this should be a path to the log-file. Relative paths are resolved relative to the log directory of the environment. | trac.log |
| log_format | Custom logging format. If nothing is set, the following will be used: Trac[$(module)s] $(levelname)s: $(message)s In addition to regular key names supported by the Python logger library (see http://docs.python.org/library/logging.html), one could use: - $(path)s the path for the current environment - $(basename)s the last path component of the current environment - $(project)s the project name Note the usage of $(...)s instead of %(...)s as the latter form would be interpreted by the ConfigParser? itself. Example: ($(thread)d) Trac[$(basename)s:$(module)s] $(levelname)s: $(message)s (since 0.10.5) | (no default) |
| log_level | Level of verbosity in log. Should be one of (CRITICAL, ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG). | DEBUG |
| log_type | Logging facility to use. Should be one of (none, file, stderr, syslog, winlog). | none |
[mastertickets]
| closed_color | Color of closed tickets | green |
| dot_path | Path to the dot executable. | dot |
| graph_direction | Direction of the dependency graph (TD = Top Down, DT = Down Top, LR = Left Right, RL = Right Left) | TD |
| gs_path | Path to the ghostscript executable. | gs |
| opened_color | Color of opened tickets | red |
| use_gs | If enabled, use ghostscript to produce nicer output. | false |
[milestone]
| stats_provider | Name of the component implementing ITicketGroupStatsProvider, which is used to collect statistics on groups of tickets for display in the milestone views. | 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.

| tags | Comma separated list of paths categorized as tags. If a path ends with '*', then all the directory entries found below that path will be included. Example: /tags/*, /projectAlpha/tags/A-1.0, /projectAlpha/tags/A-v1.1 | tags/* |
[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.

| preserve_newlines | Whether Wiki formatter should respect the new lines present in the Wiki text. If set to 'default', this is equivalent to 'yes' for new environments but keeps the old behavior for upgraded environments (i.e. 'no'). (since 0.11). | default |
| restrict_owner | Make the owner field of tickets use a drop-down menu. Be sure to understand the performance implications before activating this option. See Assign-to as Drop-Down List. Please note that e-mail addresses are not obfuscated in the resulting drop-down menu, so this option should not be used if e-mail addresses must remain protected. (since 0.9) | false |

[ticket-custom]
In this section, you can define additional fields for tickets. See TracTicketsCustomFields for more details.

(since 0.11)
[timeline]
| abbreviated_messages | Whether wiki-formatted event messages should be truncated or not. This only affects the default rendering, and can be overriden by specific event providers, see their own documentation. (Since 0.11) | true |
| changeset_collapse_events | Whether consecutive changesets from the same author having exactly the same message should be presented as one event. That event will link to the range of changesets in the log view. (since 0.11) | false |
| changeset_long_messages | Whether wiki-formatted changeset messages should be multiline or not. If this option is not specified or is false and wiki_format_messages is set to true, changeset messages will be single line only, losing some formatting (bullet points, etc). | false |

[trac]
| auth_cookie_lifetime | Lifetime of the authentication cookie, in seconds. This value determines how long the browser will cache authentication information, and therefore, after how much inactivity a user will have to log in again. The default value of 0 makes the cookie expire at the end of the browsing session. (since 0.12) | 0 |
| auth_cookie_path | Path for the authentication cookie. Set this to the common base path of several Trac instances if you want them to share the cookie. (since 0.12) | (no default) |
| authz_file | The path to the Subversion authorization (authz) file. To enable authz permission checking, the AuthzSourcePolicy permission policy must be added to [trac] permission_policies. | (no default) |
| authz_module_name | The module prefix used in the authz_file for the default repository. If left empty, the global section is used. | (no default) |
| auto_preview_timeout | Inactivity timeout in seconds after which the automatic wiki preview triggers an update. This option can contain floating-point values. The lower the setting, the more requests will be made to the server. Set this to 0 to disable automatic preview. The default is 2.0 seconds. (since 0.12) | 2.0 |
| auto_reload | Automatically reload template files after modification. | false |
| backup_dir | Database backup location | db |
| base_url | Reference URL for the Trac deployment. This is the base URL that will be used when producing documents that will be used outside of the web browsing context, like for example when inserting URLs pointing to Trac resources in notification e-mails. | (no default) |

| default_timezone | The default timezone to use | (no default) |
| genshi_cache_size | The maximum number of templates that the template loader will cache in memory. The default value is 128. You may want to choose a higher value if your site uses a larger number of templates, and you have enough memory to spare, or you can reduce it if you are short on memory. | 128 |
| htdocs_location | Base URL for serving the core static resources below /chrome/common/. It can be left empty, and Trac will simply serve those resources itself. Advanced users can use this together with trac-admin ... deploy <deploydir> to allow serving the static resources for Trac directly from the web server. Note however that this only applies to the <deploydir>/htdocs/common directory, the other deployed resources (i.e. those from plugins) will not be made available this way and additional rewrite rules will be needed in the web server. | (no default) |
| ignore_auth_case | Whether login names should be converted to lower case (since 0.9). | false |
| jquery_location | Location of the jQuery JavaScript library (version 1.7.2). An empty value loads jQuery from the copy bundled with Trac.

(since 1.0) | (no default) |
| jquery_ui_theme_location | Location of the theme to be used with the jQuery UI JavaScript library (version 1.8.21). An empty value loads the custom Trac jQuery UI theme from the copy bundled with Trac. Alternatively, a jQuery UI theme could be loaded from a CDN, for example: https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.21/themes/start/jquery-ui.css or http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.ui/1.8.21/themes/start/jquery-ui.css. (since 1.0) | (no default) |
| mainnav | Order of the items to display in the mainnav navigation bar, listed by IDs. See also TracNavigation. | wiki, timeline, roadmap, browser, tickets, newticket, search |

| mysqldump_path | Location of mysqldump for MySQL database backups | mysqldump |
| never_obfuscate_mailto | Never obfuscate mailto: links explicitly written in the wiki, even if show_email_addresses is false or the user has not the EMAIL_VIEW permission (since 0.11.6). | false |
| permission_policies | List of components implementing IPermissionPolicy, in the order in which they will be applied. These components manage fine-grained access control to Trac resources. Defaults to the DefaultPermissionPolicy? (pre-0.11 behavior) and LegacyAttachmentPolicy? (map ATTACHMENT_* permissions to realm specific ones) | DefaultPermissionPolicy, LegacyAttachmentPolicy |
| permission_store | Name of the component implementing IPermissionStore, which is used for managing user and group permissions. | DefaultPermissionStore |
| pg_dump_path | Location of pg_dump for Postgres database backups | pg_dump |
| repository_dir | Path to the default repository. This can also be a relative path (since 0.11). This option is deprecated, and repositories should be defined in the repositories section, or using the "Repositories" admin panel. (since 0.12) | (no default) |
| repository_sync_per_request | List of repositories that should be synchronized on every page request. Leave this option empty if you have set up post-commit hooks calling trac-admin $ENV changeset added on all your repositories (recommended). Otherwise, set it to a comma-separated list of repository names. Note that this will negatively affect performance, and will prevent changeset listeners from receiving events from the repositories specified here. The default is to synchronize the default repository, for backward compatibility. (since 0.12) | (default) |
| repository_type | Default repository connector type. (since 0.10) This is also used as the default repository type for repositories defined in TracIni#repositories-section repositories or using the "Repositories" admin panel. (since 0.12) | svn |
| request_filters | Ordered list of filters to apply to all requests (since 0.10). | (no default) |
| resizable_textareas | Make <textarea> fields resizable. Requires JavaScript. (since 0.12) | true |

| timeout | Timeout value for database connection, in seconds. Use '0' to specify no timeout. (Since 0.11) | 20 |
| use_base_url_for_redirect | Optionally use [trac] base_url for redirects. In some configurations, usually involving running Trac behind a HTTP proxy, Trac can't automatically reconstruct the URL that is used to access it. You may need to use this option to force Trac to use the base_url setting also for redirects. This introduces the obvious limitation that this environment will only be usable when accessible from that URL, as redirects are frequently used. (since 0.10.5) | false |
| use_xsendfile | When true, send a X-Sendfile header and no content when sending files from the filesystem, so that the web server handles the content. This requires a web server that knows how to handle such a header, like Apache with mod_xsendfile or lighttpd. (since 1.0) | false |
[versioncontrol]
| allowed_repository_dir_prefixes | Comma-separated list of allowed prefixes for repository directories when adding and editing repositories in the repository admin panel. If the list is empty, all repository directories are allowed. (since 0.12.1) | (no default) |
