For tutorials and quick start guides see links below. This is just my personal configuration, change to paths etc. to your needs.
Web Repostitory
- First you have to configure apache
| webserver configuration in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ |

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/hg(.*) /var/www/hg/hgwebdir.cgi$1
</IfModule>
Alias /hg /var/www/hg
<Directory /var/www/hg>
# Call cgi script for directory listing

- list of repos and options regarding the repo index
| /var/www/hg/hgweb.config |
[web] style = gitweb [paths] shortname = /long/path/to/repository shortname2 = /another/dir |
- If you want to publish a lot of repositories there is an easier solution: use a base directory in which you collect all repositorys (may also be symlinks).
| same as above |
[collections] /path/to/repo/collection = /path/to/repo/collection |
- Sample configuration of a repository
| .hg/hgrc |
[web] contact = e.g. name and mail description = what is this repository used for? style = gitweb allow_push = * push_ssl = false allow_archive = bz2 gz zip |
