How to Hide Default Web Pages on Trac

Trac is a Web-based project management and bug tracking tool for software development. The Trac tool is installed on your Web server with a trac.ini file that contains all configuration settings of your Trac projects. The trac.ini file contains information such as administrator accounts, project names, browser settings and navigation. To hide default Web pages on Trac, edit the trac.ini file.

Instructions

1. Log in to your Web hosting server using an FTP client or Telnet client.

2. Navigate to the following folder:

   <projectenv>/conf/trac.ini

   Replace "<projectenv>" with the name of the folder containing your Trac installation. For example, if your Trac installation is stored in the folder tracproject, enter the directory of "tracproject/conf/trac.ini."

3. Copy and paste the trac.ini file to your desktop.

4. Click “Start,” “All Programs” and select “Notepad.”

5. Click “File” and select “Open.” Select the trac.ini file and click “Open.”

6. Locate the “[mainnav]” section of the trac.ini file.

7. Type “disabled” to the right of the default Web page you want to hide. For example:

   [mainnav]
   SamplePage = disabled

8. Click “File” and select “Save.”

9. Upload the trac.ini file to your Web server using an FTP client.
