The Misadventures of Penoi

Note this setup is unsecured and just for the purpose of having my own lab svn repo.

Install mercurial on your server

yum install mercurial

Setup the mercurial site on apache

mkdir /var/www/cgi-hg
cp /usr/share/doc/mercurial-1.4/hgwebdir.cgi /var/www/cgi-hg/
chmod +x /var/www/cgi-hg/hgwebdir.cgi

Create the hgweb.config

 /var/www/cgi-hg/hgweb.config
[paths]
#VIRTUAL_PATH = /REAL/PATH
#myproject = myproject
lab = /srv/hg

Reload apache

service httpd reload

Make sure everything has the right permission on selinux or you can temporarily disable selinux

Your site now is accessible thru http://servername/hg

To test push functionality,you might try to disable ssl and allow push to all

/srv/hg/.hg/hgrc

[web]
allow_push = *
push_ssl = false
