Edit File: hgweb.txt

Mercurial's internal web server, hgweb, can serve either a single repository, or a tree of repositories. In the second case, repository paths and global options can be defined using a dedicated configuration file common to :hg:`serve`, ``hgweb.wsgi``, ``hgweb.cgi`` and ``hgweb.fcgi``. This file uses the same syntax as other Mercurial configuration files but recognizes only the following sections: - web - paths - collections The ``web`` options are thoroughly described in :hg:`help config`. The ``paths`` section maps URL paths to paths of repositories in the filesystem. hgweb will not expose the filesystem directly - only Mercurial repositories can be published and only according to the configuration. The left hand side is the path in the URL. Note that hgweb reserves subpaths like ``rev`` or ``file``, try using different names for nested repositories to avoid confusing effects. The right hand side is the path in the filesystem. If the specified path ends with ``*`` or ``**`` the filesystem will be searched recursively for repositories below that point. With ``*`` it will not recurse into the repositories it finds (except for ``.hg/patches``). With ``**`` it will also search inside repository working directories and possibly find subrepositories. In this example:: [paths] /projects/a = /srv/tmprepos/a /projects/b = c:/repos/b / = /srv/repos/* /user/bob = /home/bob/repos/** - The first two entries make two repositories in different directories appear under the same directory in the web interface - The third entry will publish every Mercurial repository found in ``/srv/repos/``, for instance the repository ``/srv/repos/quux/`` will appear as ``http://server/quux/`` - The fourth entry will publish both ``http://server/user/bob/quux/`` and ``http://server/user/bob/quux/testsubrepo/`` The ``collections`` section is deprecated and has been superseded by ``paths``.
