    11= Trac Storage - The Environment = 
    2 Trac uses a directory structure and an embedded [http://www.sqlite.org/ SQLite] database as storage. 
     2 
     3Trac uses a directory structure and a database for storing project data. 
    34 
    45== Creating an Environment == 
    5 A new Trac environment is created using [wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin], like: 
    66 
     7A new Trac environment is created using [wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin]: 
    78{{{ 
    89$ trac-admin /path/to/projectenv initenv 
    910}}} 
    1011 
    11 [wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin] will ask you where your subversion repository is located and 
    12 where it can find the trac templates directory (the default value should work for a typical install). 
     12[wiki:TracAdmin trac-admin] will ask you for the name of the project, the 
     13database connection string (explained below), and where your subversion 
     14repository is located. 
    1315 
    14 '''Note:''' The web server user will require file system write permission to the environment 
    15 directory and all the files inside. '''Remember to set the appropriate permissions.'' 
     16  ''Note: The web server user will require file system write permission to 
     17the environment directory and all the files inside. Please remember to set 
     18the appropriate permissions. The same applies to the Subversion 
     19repository, although Trac will only require read access as long as you're 
     20not using the BDB file system.'' 
    1621 
    17 The same applies for the subversion repository files (unless using the [http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/notes/fsfs FSFS Subversion backend], something we highly recommend.  
     22== Database Connection Strings == 
    1823 
     24Since version 0.9, Trac supports both [http://sqlite.org/ SQLite] and 
     25[http://www.postgresql.org/ PostgreSQL] as database backends.  The default 
     26is to use SQLite, which is probably sufficient for most projects. The database file 
     27is then stored in the environment directory, and can easily be 
     28[wiki:TracBackup backed up] together with the rest of the environment. 
    1929 
     30The connection string for an embedded SQLite database is: 
     31{{{ 
     32sqlite:db/trac.db 
     33}}} 
     34 
     35If you want to use PostgreSQL instead, you'll have to use a different 
     36connection string. For example, to connect to a database on the same 
     37machine called `trac`, that allows access to the user `johndoe` with 
     38the password `letmein`, use: 
     39{{{ 
     40postgres://johndoe:letmein@localhost/trac 
     41}}} 
     42 
     43If PostgreSQL is running on a non-standard port (for example 9342), use: 
     44{{{ 
     45postgres://johndoe:letmein@localhost:9342/trac 
     46}}} 
     47 
     48Note that with PostgreSQL you will have to create the database before running 
     49`trac-admin initenv`.

    2151== Directory Structure ==
