The Trac Configuration File
Table of Contents
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 located 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.
Note: since 0.10, the TracIni reference is auto-generated from the source code, using the TracIniMacro. But in this page, we will keep the old wiki content, so that documentation fixes could be easily contributed by the community, as before.
[trac]
| base_url | Base URL of the Trac deployment. In most configurations, Trac will automatically reconstruct the URL that is used to access it automatically. However, in more complex setups, usually involving running Trac behind a HTTP proxy, you may need to use this option to force Trac to use the correct URL. |

| render_unsafe_content | Whether non-binary attachments should be rendered in the browser, or only made downloadable.

[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. To get a list of active components for your installation, see the Plugins page on About Trac (requires CONFIG_VIEW permissions.)

[changeset]
(since 0.10)
| max_diff_bytes | A limit for the sum of the size of all old and new files involved in a changeset. Note that when requesting a diff precisely on a very big file (e.g. by the use of the Last Change link), the size limit will not be taken into account and the diffs will always be computed. |
