Setup hgwebdir on Redhat Enterprise Linux 4

  1. mkdir /var/www/cgi-hg

  2. cp hgwebdir.cgi /var/www/cgi-hg && chmod +x /var/www/cgi-hg/hgwebdir.cgi

  3. vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/hg.conf 
    ScriptAliasMatch        ^/hg(.*)        /var/www/cgi-hg/hgwebdir.cgi$1

<Directory /var/www/cgi-hg/>
        Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
</Directory>
  4. /etc/init.d/httpd reload

    http://BASEURL/hg should now show an empty hgwebdir interface

  5. copy or symlink a hg repository, say "myproject" into /var/www/cgi-hg
  6. vi /var/www/cgi-hg/hgweb.config 
    [collections]
/myproject = myproject
