v4 v5 6 6 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. 7 7 8 Trac monitors the timestamp of the file to trigger a complete environment reload and flush its cacheswhen 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 [#GlobalConfiguration global configuration] file when none was previously present.8 Trac monitors the timestamp of the file to trigger an environment reload when the timestamp changes.

Non-absolute paths are relative to the Environment `conf` directory. 18 18 19 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 [TracAdmin#initenv 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 setin the global file.19 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 [TracAdmin#initenv trac-admin]'s `initenv` command.

Those entries can themselvesbe specified in the shared configuration file, and in fact, configuration files can even be chained if you specify another `[inherit] file` there.21 There are three more options in the [#inherit-section "[inherit]"] section, [#inherit-templates_dir-option templates_dir] for sharing global templates, [#inherit-htdocs_dir-option htdocs_dir] for sharing global htdocs and [TracIni#inherit-plugins_dir-option 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. 22 22 23 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 stillto write a custom plugin doing an appropriate `ITemplateStreamFilter` transformation.23 Note that the templates found in the `templates/` directory of the TracEnvironment have precedence over those found in `[inherit] templates_dir`.

The site to which issues are reported depends on the 37 configuration of the Trac site and the user’s permissions. 38 39 If the user doesn’t possess TRAC_ADMIN, the site to which a user is directed to create a ticket is determined by the [[#project-admin_trac_url-option|"[trac] admin_trac_url"]] setting: 40 41 * If empty, there will be no //Create// button. 42 * If set to the default value (`.`), the ticket will be 43 created on the site which the error occurred. 44 * Otherwise the ticket will be created at the site pointed 45 to by `admin_trac_url`. 46 47 If [[#project-admin-option|"[project] admin"]] is not empty, the administrator's email address will be rendered on the error page. 48 49 If the user possesses TRAC_ADMIN, the //Create// button will direct the user to report the issue on trac.edgewall.org. If the error was generated in a plugin, the error will be reported to the project URL provided that the plugin author has included the project URL in the plugin installation data. The user possessing TRAC_ADMIN also sees a traceback and system information on the error page. 50 35 51 ---- 36 See also: Trac Guide, TracAdmin, TracEnvironment52 See also: TracAdmin, TracEnvironment
