Oops…

Trac detected an internal error: UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 3: ordinal not in range(128)
If you think this should work you can reproduce the problem, you should consider reporting this to the Trac team.

Before you do that, though, please first try searching for similar issues, as it is quite likely that this problem has been reported before. For questions about installation and configuration of Trac, please try the mailing list instead of filing a ticket. 

Otherwise, please     ==== How to Reproduce ====

While doing a POST operation on `/admin/tracini/logging`, Trac issued an internal error.
