How to setup a mercurial repo for a public website on apache?

linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – We have apache server which serves a site from public_html/site/ We would like to have a mercurial repo in the same dir, so that we could push our changes directly to the server. So far I setup a hgweb.wsgi script and I can push and pull from the repo without any problems. Problems start when I want to add an authentication. Both read and write access to the repo should be forbidden for unauthorized users. Mercurial help mentions using HTTP auth, well, I can create .htaccess with .htpasswd, and place them in public_html/site/, but that would make the website not accessible. Please help. (HowTos)

Stories similar to How to setup a mercurial repo for a public website on apache?

after trying to enable mercurial apache web access on my Ubuntu Server 12.04 box, I've got a 403 Forbidden error when accessing http://my.site.com/mercurial with log:

[Tue Sep 04 01:20:22 2012] [error] [client X.X.X.X] client denied by server configuration: /mercurial/hgweb.cgi

I have added this to /etc/apache2/sites-available/default

ScriptAliasMatch ^/mercurial(.*) /mercurial/hgweb

Server A runs Windows Server 2008 R2 Server B runs Linux With Apache/Mercurial setup

Development team connects to Server B to push/pull code commits. Apache is configured to use LDAP auth against Server A.

If I have 10 developers - do I need 10 CALs or 1 Device CAL is enough? (since connection comes from Server B to Server A).

I'm trying to install mercurial (the DVCS) but unfortunately http://mercurial.selenic.com is down. Does anybody know of any mirrors I could grab the source from, allowing me to install it. Hopefully the site doesn't stay down long, but doing some searching on twitter it appears it's already been down for a few days.

I have been searching, but I couldn't find a tutorial with a step by step guide to creating authentication for Mercurial. From what I have found, a lot of people are pointing to this resource, but it doesn't seem to show what I am trying to achieve: http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/PublishingRepositories

Can someone please show me where I can find a guide to setup authentication with Mercurial?

Mercurial confusion 1 year 17 weeks ago

Hello,

I have a repository on my machine and it has about 70 commits and a couple of branches. Now there's another "central" repo which is empty. Is it possible for me to push my commits to the central instead of the central cloning my repo?

I'm trying to build Mercurial on CentOS 6, so here is what I've done so far:

I got mercurial's latest sources, file is named mercurial-2.4.1.tar.gz

I try running rpmbuild on it and I get the following:

# rpmbuild -tb mercurial-2.4.1.tar.gz error: File /home/someuser/rpms/mercurial/mercurial-snapshot.tar.gz: No such file or directory

So I try creating the file that it wants by copying from the

I'm using zsh with vcs_info and it works nicely except when browsing a repo which is set up for Trac/Mercurial.

I have linux with SELinux and got problems

I have apache that has VHOST that runs API.PHP script that internally implement shell calls to bash scripts like this:

private function getRepoList(){ exec("/home/www/sites/hgcrm.saritasa.com/mercurial/get-repo-list.sh",$retval); }

when I turn off SELinux - everything is working fine, but when I turn it on then
