I\'m searching for info to setup a Mercurial Server for Windows (7 or XP) with an Apache (xampp if it is useful to know it) with the Push Model, just like in this question but m

Answer 1

I used the HgWebDir instructions:

Here is my httpd.conf piece for the mercurial sites (slightly edited):

    ServerName hg.example.com
    DocumentRoot c:/apache_sites/hg
    RewriteEngine on

    RewriteRule ^/$ /public [R]
    RewriteRule ^/public(.*) /public/hgwebdir.cgi$1 [L]
    RewriteRule ^/private(.*) /private/hgwebdir.cgi$1 [L]

    # mod_alias alternative (pretty url's)
    
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
        AllowOverride All
        Options ExecCGI
        AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
    
    
        AuthType Digest
        AuthName "hg.example.com"
        AuthDigestProvider file
        AuthUserFile c:/apache_sites/hg/hgusers
        AuthGroupFile c:/apache_sites/hg/hggroup
        AuthDigestDomain /private/
        Require group owner
    
    
        AuthType Digest
        AuthName "hg.example.com"
        AuthDigestProvider file
        AuthUserFile c:/apache_sites/hg/hgusers
        AuthGroupFile c:/apache_sites/hg/hggroup
        AuthDigestDomain /public/
        
            Require group developer
        
    

    LogLevel debug
    ErrorLog "c:/apache/logs/hg-error.log"
    CustomLog "c:/apache/logs/hg-access.log" combined
    LogLevel debug

# vim:se ft=apache:

I also had to turn on a few modules for Auth Digest, etc.

I put the hgwebdir.cgi in the root of the public and the private folders, and just put each of my hg repos in the repos subfolder under the appropriate folders.

Apache authentication took care of my authorization.

Then I just put a hgweb.config file in the same locations like this:

[collections]
repos = repos

[web]
allow_archive = bz2 gz zip
style = gitweb
baseurl = /public

The mercurial packages need to be on the PYTHON_PATH
