Description Göktürk Yüksek archtester

2010-03-06 21:26:56 UTC

I was following the tutorial here[0] to publish my hg repositories located on my Gentoo Box. After I set up hgweb.config, I executed hgwebdir.cgi it failed to execute. Please see hgwebdir.log file attached to this bug.

After I searched on the web for a while, I realized that this is a known bug with mercurial. Pleasee see the link here[1]

So I patched the package and the ebuild file. Please see patches for the package and the ebuild attached to this. Tested with 'ebuild test' and worked fine for me.

Dirkjan: is this a bug that should be taken upstream? 1.5.1 has the same code.

Krzysztof: there's already an upstream bug, issue1778. And I still stand by my comments there, namely that this is a bug in the environment the CGI is being executed in.

M. Gokturk Yuksek: how exactly are you setting this up? Is the web server apache? Can you paste any apache config data you have?

It's been a long time since i set this up, but as far as a i remember i followed the instructions in this link[0].

My installation is system-wide so i used the generic hgwebdir script. 

I'm using virtual hosts in apache. Here is a portion of the config file:
DocumentRoot "/var/www/<my_domain>/cgi-bin/hgwebdir"
Options ExecCGI
<Files hgwebdir.cgi>
	SetHandler cgi-script
</Files>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/<my_domain>/cgi-bin/"
DirectoryIndex hgwebdir.cgi
AddHandler cgi-script cgi pl

This doesn't look like something that should be in this Bugzilla, please add relevant information to upstream bug.
