| [[TableOfContents]] = Publishing Repositories with `hgwebdir.cgi` = == Introduction == Well, we have a certain setup with subversion. I'd like to reproduce it using Mercurial. == Pre-requisites == The installed software is: * apache2 (apache2, apache2-common, apache2-mpm-prefork, apache2-utils) * But it is not necessary (see below) * some version of mercurial (mine was 0.9 taken from Debian/unstable) * python: * Ubuntu/Edgy comes with python 2.4 * you will need python2.4-dev package as well * sudo (in general, I prefer sudo to su) == Getting proper Mercurial == The whole point was to try pull/push over http. So the following was done (I'm a real newbie for hg, so please bear me :)): {{{ $ cd working-directory $ hg clone http://selenic.com/hg/ $ cd hg $ hg pull http://hg.intevation.org/mercurial/crew $ wget http://www.selenic.com/pipermail/mercurial/attachments/20060615/2893c03e/push-http.bin -O push-http.patch $ hg import -p1 push-http.patch $ python setup.py build $ sudo python setup.py install }}} == Directory Structure == Create the necessary directories: {{{ $ sudo mkdir -p /var/hg/repos $ sudo chown www-data:www-data -R /var/hg }}} It's usually a good idea to keep special directories out of the tree served by apache. == Preparing the config == {{{ $ cat > /tmp/hgweb.config [collections] repos/ = repos/ ^D $ sudo -u www-data cp /tmp/hgweb.config /var/hg $ rm /tmp/hgweb.config }}} == Two possibilities == Either choose Apache or a standalone install. === Apache === ==== Putting the right stuff in place ==== Put the script in place (remember, we are still in that `working-directory/hg` :)): {{{ $ sudo -u www-data cp hgwebdir.cgi /var/hg $ sudo -u www-data chmod +x /var/hg/hgwebdir.cgi }}} ==== Making it accessible ==== Ok, now it's time for apache. First of all, do not really change the config of apache directly: {{{ $ sudo mkdir /etc/apache2/hg }}} Create the config with the following contents (e.g by using `sudo vim /etc/apache2/hg/main.conf`): {{{ ScriptAliasMatch ^/hg(.*) /var/hg/hgwebdir.cgi$1 <Directory /var/hg> Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> }}} This config says that we are going to serve our repositories through '<yourhost>/hg/'. Now make it really available, by changing your favourite site in `/etc/apache2/sites-enabled`. For this experiment I used `/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default`: {{{ ... Include /etc/apache2/hg/main.conf </VirtualHost> }}} Make sure that everything is OK: {{{ $ sudo apache2ctl configtest Syntax is OK }}} Restart your web server: {{{ $ sudo apache2ctl stop $ sudo apache2ctl start }}} Check if it works by directing your browser to `<yourhost>/hg/` === Standalone === Simply run {{{ su -u www-data hg serve --webdir-conf /var/hg/hgweb.config }}} and enjoy this speedy method of serving multiple repos. It should be faster than using Apache. == You are done == Hooray! == Final Bits == === Create a new repository === {{{ $ sudo -u www-data hg init /var/hg/repos/<repository-name> }}} === Provide more information about it === Add the following to the `/var/hg/repos/<repository-name>/.hg/hgrc` file: {{{ [web] contact = Bilbo Baggins # Whom to contact, plain text, # no fancy stuff description = My precious! # Nice description what this is about, # you can include HTML (like <a>) }}} === Customize the look === Add the following to the `/var/hg/repos/<repository-name>/.hg/hgrc` file: {{{ [web] style = gitweb # looks cleaner from my point of # view :) allow_archive = gz, zip, bz2 # If you think people should be able # to download snapshots as .tar.gz, # .zip, .tar.bz2 respectively }}} == Disclaimer == Well, it works (worked) for me. Please do not hesitate to update this page to include small bits I've forgotten or just plainly am not aware of. |
