[Trac] Trac ignores 'templates_dir'-setting

Hello,

I'm confused about this behaviour:

If I have a 'site.html' in the <env>/templates-path all works as expected. If I put the same 'site.html' in another path, e. g. the shared '/htdocs'-path Trac ignores it.
My Apache 'httpd.conf':
...
Alias /htdocs /home/claus/webapps/trac/.htdocs
<Directory /home/claus/webapps/trac/.htdocs>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
...

My 'trac.ini':
...
[inherit]
plugins_dir =
templates_dir = /htdocs
...

What is wrong?

IMHO the whole approach is wrong. The Genshi template is retrieved from
file system, not via HTTP by the Trac server internally.

Why can't you use that path directly in trac.ini? This looks too
complicated to me anyway. Just write

 templates_dir = /home/claus/webapps/trac/.htdocs

Still there should be a reason for having htdocs and templates separated
in Trac environments by default, so I would hesitate to mix one into the
other even in inherited folders, but YMMV.

Re: [Trac] Trac ignores 'templates_dir'-setting

Ok, if I used

template_dir = /home/claus/webapps/trac/.htdocs

it works proper. Thank you.

I used the Apache-alias '/htdocs' first, because under the [trac]-section a

htdocs_location = /home/claus/webapps/trac/.htdocs

or under the [header_logo]-section a

src = /home/claus/webapps/trac/.logos/logo_wiki_400x100.png

don't work, only an Apache-alias get me further here.

Is this so because 'templates_dir' will be used from genshi directly whereas 'htdocs_location' or the logo-src are trac-internal settings?

Can you give me an explanation?

Thanks for your help!!

Claus

Fine, you're welcome.

Well, this is static content --> htdocs.

As written before, templates are actually processed by the server (Trac
and Genshi), yes.

htdocs' resources (CSS, images, JavaScript, etc.) are just referenced in
XTHML pages and served by whatever you use for serving your static web
content, Apache, any other web server or Trac's own code - tracd.
