Hello guys,

I have heard some horror stories about mod_wsgi. Anyway I was finally able to make 99% mercurial work with nginx: I can browse the changes in my webbrowser, I can push using ssh and I can pull using http.

The problem I have is that I am unable to push changes to the published repository, I get the following error message: "http://myserver:83/ does not appear to be an hg repository!

The hgweb.cgi file has been renamed index.cgi and is living inside /var/www/mercurial. nginx redirects incoming cgi requests to a fastcgi process and executes /var/www/mercurial/index.cgi without any problem. It has ownership thomas:www-data and chmod 775.

nginx uses www-data:www-data

The published/central repository lives at: /var/hg/repo1, has ownership thomas:www-data and chmod 775

My personal repository is located at /var/hg/repo3, has ownership thomas:thomas and chmod 755

When I want to push to that repository using http, I issue the following command: hg push http://myserver:83

And in response I get:

-------------------- pushing to http://ubuntu:83 searching for changes abort: 'http://ubuntu:83/' does not appear to be an hg repository!

-------------------

However, if my personal repository is synced with the central repository, if I try to push (even tough I know there are no changes) I get:

------------------- pushing to http://ubuntu:83 searching for changes no changes found

--------------------

Where could the problem come from? I tried enabling http authentication in nginx, so I type my username/password, but afterwards I still get the same error.
