    6 Some of those operations can also be performed via the ''Admin'' web interface, an updated version of the [trac:WebAdmin] plugin now integrated within Trac (since version 0.11).
     8Some of the configurations can also be performed via the web administration module.

    10 For nearly every `trac-admin` command, you'll need to specify the path to the TracEnvironment that you want to administer as the first argument, for example:
    11 {{{
    12 trac-admin /path/to/projenv wiki list
     12For nearly every `trac-admin` command, the first argument must be the path to the TracEnvironment:
     13{{{#!sh
     14$ trac-admin /path/to/projenv wiki list
    1315}}}
    1416
    15 The only exception is for the `help` command, but even in this case if you omit the environment, you'll only get a very succinct list of commands (`help` and `initenv`), the same list you'd get when invoking `trac-admin` alone.
    16 Also, `trac-admin --version` will tell you about the Trac version (e.g. 0.12) corresponding to the program.

     18`trac-admin --version` will tell you about the Trac version (e.g. 1.2) corresponding to the program.

    18 If you want to get a comprehensive list of the available commands and sub-commands, you need to specify an existing environment:
    19 {{{
    20 trac-admin /path/to/projenv help
     20To get a comprehensive list of the available command and sub-command, specify the path to an environment:
     21{{{#!sh
     22$ trac-admin /path/to/projenv help
    2123}}}
    2224
    23 Some commands have a more detailed help, which you can access by specifying the command's name as a subcommand for `help`:
    24 
    25 {{{
    26 trac-admin /path/to/projenv help <command>

    29 === `trac-admin <targetdir> initenv` === #initenv
     30When an error occurs in a `trac-admin` command the return value will be `2` and error messages are printed to `stderr`.
    3031
    31 This subcommand is very important as it's the one used to create a TracEnvironment in the specified `<targetdir>`. That directory must not exist prior to the call.
     32=== `trac-admin <targetdir> initenv` #initenv

    35 It supports an extra `--inherit` option, which can be used to specify a global configuration file which can be used share settings between several environments. You can also inherit from a shared configuration afterwards, by setting the `[inherit] file` option in the `conf/trac.ini` file in your newly created environment, but the advantage of specifying the inherited configuration file at environment creation time is that only the options ''not'' already specified in the global configuration file will be written in the created environment's `conf/trac.ini` file.

    38 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.

     43`trac-admin` starts in interactive mode when the environment path is the only argument.
     44Commands can then be executed on the selected environment using the prompt, which offers tab-completion
     45for non-Windows environments, and when the Python `readline` module is available. It also offers automatic repetition of the last command issued.

    60 You'll find below the detailed help for all the commands available by default in `trac-admin`. Note that this may not match the list given by `trac-admin <yourenv> help`, as the commands  pertaining to components disabled in that environment won't be available and conversely some plugins activated in the environment can add their own commands.
