TracAdmin

Trac is distributed with a powerful command-line configuration tool. This tool can be used to configure and customize your Trac-installation to better fit your needs.

Some of those operations can also be performed via the Admin web interface, an updated version of the  WebAdmin plugin now integrated within Trac (since version 0.11).

Usage

You can get a comprehensive list of the available options, commands and sub-commands by invoking trac-admin with the help command:.

trac-admin help

Unless you're executing the help, about or version sub-commands, you'll need to specify the path to the TracEnvironment that you want to administer as the first argument, for example:

trac-admin /path/to/projenv wiki list

Interactive Mode

When passing the environment path as the only argument, trac-admin starts in interactive mode. Commands can then be executed on the selected environment using the prompt, which offers tab-completion (on non-Windows environments, and when the Python readline module is available) and automatic repetition of the last command issued.

Once you're in interactive mode, you can also get help on specific commands or subsets of commands:

For example, to get an explanation of the resync command, run:

> help resync

To get help on all the Wiki-related commands, run:

> help wiki

Notes

The initenv also supports an extra --inherit option, which can be used to specify the [inherit] file option at environment creation time so that only the options not already specified in the global configuration file will be written in the conf/trac.ini file of the newly created environment. See TracIni#GlobalConfiguration.

Note that in version 0.11 of Trac, initenv lost an extra last argument <templatepath>, which was used in previous versions to point to the templates folder. If you are using the one-liner 'trac-admin /path/to/trac/ initenv <projectname> <db> <repostype> <repospath>' in the above and getting an error that reads 'Wrong number of arguments to initenv: 4', then this is because you're using a trac-admin script from an older version of Trac.
