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.

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.

[account-manager]

account_changes_notify_addresses	List of email addresses that get notified of user changes, ie, new user, password change and delete user.	(no default)
cookie_refresh_pct	Persistent sessions randomly get a new session cookie ID with likelihood in percent per work hour given here (zero equals to never) to decrease vulnerability of long-lasting sessions.	10
environ_auth_overwrite	Whether environment variable REMOTE_USER should get overwritten after processing login form input. Otherwise it will only be set, if unset at the time of authentication.	true
generated_password_length	Length of the randomly-generated passwords created when resetting the password for an account.	8
htpasswd_file	Path relative to Trac environment or full host machine path to password file	(no default)
htpasswd_hash_type	Default hash type of new/updated passwords	crypt
login_opt_list	Set to True, to switch login page style showing alternative actions in a single listing together.	false
reset_password	Set to False, if there is no email system setup.	true

[attachment]

max_size	Maximum allowed file size (in bytes) for ticket and wiki attachments.	262144
max_zip_size	Maximum allowed total size (in bytes) for an attachment list to be downloadable as a .zip. Set this to -1 to disable download as .zip. (since 1.0)	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 (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]

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 (since 0.10).	10000000
max_diff_files	Maximum number of modified files for which the changeset view will attempt to show the diffs inlined (since 0.10).	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.	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).

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

mime_map_patterns	List of additional MIME types associated to filename patterns. Mappings are comma-separated, and each mapping consists of a MIME type and a Python regexp used for matching filenames, separated by a colon (":"). (since 1.0)	text/plain:README|INSTALL|COPYING.*
pygments_default_style	The default style to use for Pygments syntax highlighting.	trac
pygments_modes	List of additional MIME types known by Pygments. For each, a tuple mimetype:mode:quality has to be specified, where mimetype is the MIME type, mode is the corresponding Pygments mode to be used for the conversion and quality is the quality ratio associated to this conversion. That can also be used to override the default quality ratio used by the Pygments render.	(no default)
tab_width	Displayed tab width in file preview. (since 0.9)	8

workflow	Ordered list of workflow controllers to use for ticket actions (since 0.11).	ConfigurableTicketWorkflow

[ticket-custom]

In this section, you can define additional fields for tickets. See TracTicketsCustomFields for more details.

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)

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
secure_cookies	Restrict cookies to HTTPS connections. When true, set the secure flag on all cookies so that they are only sent to the server on HTTPS connections. Use this if your Trac instance is only accessible through HTTPS. (since 0.11.2)	false
show_email_addresses	Show email addresses instead of usernames. If false, we obfuscate email addresses. (since 0.11)	false
show_ip_addresses	Show IP addresses for resource edits (e.g. wiki). (since 0.11.3)	false
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
