The Trac Configuration File

Trac configuration is done by editing the trac.ini config file, located in <projectenv>/conf/trac.ini.

Global Configuration

Since version 0.9, Trac can also read the configuration from a global trac.ini file. These global options will then be merged with the environment-specific options, where local options override global options.

The global configuration is by default localted in $prefix/share/trac/conf/trac.ini. It can be moved to a different location (for example, /etc/trac.ini), but that requires changing the file trac/siteconfig.py which gets created when Trac is installed.

Reference

This is a brief reference of available configuration options.

[attachment]

max_sizeMaximum allowed file size (in bytes) for ticket and wiki attachments.262144
max_zip_sizeMaximum 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_contentWhether 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_scaleEnable 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_pathsList 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_propertiesComma-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_pointIf 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_propertiesComma-separated list of version control properties to render as oneliner wiki content in the repository browser. (since 0.11)trac:summary
render_unsafe_contentWhether 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_propertiesComma-separated list of version control properties to render as wiki content in the repository browser. (since 0.11)trac:description

[changeset]

max_diff_bytesMaximum 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_filesMaximum number of modified files for which the changeset view will attempt to show the diffs inlined (since 0.10).0
wiki_format_messagesWhether 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]

altAlternative text for the header logo.(please configure the [header_logo] section in trac.ini)
heightHeight of the header logo image in pixels.-1
linkURL to link to, from the header logo.(no default)
srcURL 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
widthWidth of the header logo image in pixels.-1

[inherit]

htdocs_dirPath 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. This can be useful in site.html for common interface customization of multiple Trac environments. (since 1.0)(no default)
plugins_dirPath to the shared plugins directory. Plugins in that directory are loaded in addition to those in the directory of the environment plugins, with this one taking precedence. (since 0.11)(no default)
templates_dirPath to the shared templates directory. Templates in that directory are loaded in addition to those in the environments templates directory, but the latter take precedence. (since 0.11)(no default)

[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_fileIf 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_formatCustom 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_levelLevel of verbosity in log. Should be one of (CRITICAL, ERROR, WARN, INFO, DEBUG).DEBUG
log_typeLogging facility to use. Should be one of (none, file, stderr, syslog, winlog).none

[milestone]

stats_providerName 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.

pygments_default_styleThe default style to use for Pygments syntax highlighting.trac
pygments_modesList 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_widthDisplayed tab width in file preview. (since 0.9)8

items_per_page_rssNumber of tickets displayed in the rss feeds for reports (since 0.11)0

[repositories]

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.

(since 0.12)

[revisionlog]

default_log_limitDefault value for the limit argument in the TracRevisionLog. (since 0.11)100

[roadmap]

stats_providerName of the component implementing ITicketGroupStatsProvider, which is used to collect statistics on groups of tickets for display in the roadmap views.DefaultTicketGroupStatsProvider

[search]

default_disabled_filtersSpecifies which search filters should be disabled by default on the search page. This will also restrict the filters for the quick search function. The filter names defined by default components are: wiki, ticket, milestone and changeset. For plugins, look for their implementation of the ISearchSource interface, in the get_search_filters() method, the first member of returned tuple. Once disabled, search filters can still be manually enabled by the user on the search page. (since 0.12)(no default)
min_query_lengthMinimum length of query string allowed when performing a search.3

[sqlite]

extensionsPaths to sqlite extensions, relative to Trac environment's directory or absolute. (since 0.12)(no default)

[svn]

branchesComma separated list of paths categorized as branches. If a path ends with '*', then all the directory entries found below that path will be included. Example: /trunk, /branches/*, /projectAlpha/trunk, /sandbox/*trunk, branches/*
tagsComma 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-v1.1tags/*

[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.

restrict_ownerMake 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
workflowOrdered 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.

[ticket-workflow]

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.

ticket_show_detailsEnable the display of all ticket changes in the timeline, not only open / close operations (since 0.9).false

[trac]

auth_cookie_lifetimeLifetime 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_pathPath 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)

auto_reloadAutomatically reload template files after modification.false
backup_dirDatabase backup locationdb
base_urlReference 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)
check_auth_ipWhether the IP address of the user should be checked for authentication (since 0.9).false
databaseDatabase connection string for this projectsqlite:db/trac.db

default_timezoneThe default timezone to use(no default)
genshi_cache_sizeThe 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_locationBase 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_caseWhether login names should be converted to lower case (since 0.9).false
jquery_locationLocation 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_locationLocation of the jQuery UI JavaScript library (version 1.8.21). An empty value loads jQuery UI from the copy bundled with Trac. Alternatively, jQuery UI could be loaded from a CDN, for example: https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.21/jquery-ui.min.js or http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.ui/1.8.21/jquery-ui.min.js. (since 1.0)(no default)
jquery_ui_theme_locationLocation 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.

never_obfuscate_mailtoNever 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_policiesList 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_storeName of the component implementing IPermissionStore, which is used for managing user and group permissions.DefaultPermissionStore
pg_dump_pathLocation of pg_dump for Postgres database backupspg_dump
repository_dirPath 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_requestList 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_typeDefault 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_filtersOrdered list of filters to apply to all requests (since 0.10).(no default)
resizable_textareasMake <textarea> fields resizable. Requires JavaScript. (since 0.12)true
secure_cookiesRestrict 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_addressesShow email addresses instead of usernames. If false, we obfuscate email addresses. (since 0.11)false
show_ip_addressesShow IP addresses for resource edits (e.g. wiki). (since 0.11.3)false
timeoutTimeout value for database connection, in seconds. Use '0' to specify no timeout. (Since 0.11)20
use_base_url_for_redirectOptionally 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_xsendfileWhen 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

[components]

(since 0.9)

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.)

Note that prior to Trac r2335 (that applies to 0.9b1 and 0.9b2), you would use a [disabled_components] section instead. See a previous version of this page for the details.
