Setting Up Mercurial to serve over http

Fri May 17, 2013 10:25 am

I have mercurial setup on my Windows PC serving repos via IIS. It even has a wonderful web page which allows the viewing of repositories etc.

I would like to move this to my raspberry pi, and as all the windows instructions were converted and hacked from Linux ones, I was assuming it would be even easier than it was on Windows.

How wrong I was........

I have followed many online instructions on setting up Apache or Lighttpd to server mercurial repos, but non of them work. Apache always tells me that http:127.0.1.1/pi/hgweb.cgi can not be found and lighttpd always tried to download the cgi through my browser rather then executing it.

Doe anyone have any simple (I have been using linux for a while, but am still very much a beginner) step by step instructions to setup (preferably) lighttpd or (if not) apache2 to server mercurial repos?
