The Trac Configuration File
Table of Contents
Trac is configured through the trac.ini file, located in the <projectenv>/conf directory. The trac.ini configuration file and its parent directory should be writable by the web server.
Trac monitors the timestamp of the file to trigger an environment reload when the timestamp changes. Most changes to the configuration will be 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.
Global Configuration
Configuration can be shared among environments using one or more global configuration files. Options in the global configuration will be merged with the environment-specific options, with local options overriding global options. The global configuration 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 specify --inherit 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 in the global file.
There are two more options in the [inherit] section, templates_dir for sharing global templates and plugins_dir, for sharing plugins. Those options can 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, refresh your modifications when you upgrade to a new version of Trac. The preferred way to perform TracInterfaceCustomization is to write a custom plugin doing an appropriate ITemplateStreamFilter transformation.
Reference for settings
This is a reference of available configuration options, and their default settings.
Documentation improvements should be discussed on the trac-dev mailing list or described in a ticket. Even better, submit a patch against the docstrings in the code.

[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 acct_mgr.* = enabled
The first option tells Trac to disable the
report module.
The second option instructs Trac to enable all components in
the acct_mgr 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).
