Setting Up A Source Control Server with Domino LDAP : Part 6

Posted on February 20, 2011 by qtzar

So now we need to configure phphgadmin so it will work with our Mercurial server. lets start by editing the configuration file.

sudo vi /var/www/wordpress/admin/application/config/phphgadmin.php

There are quite a few edits that we need to do to this file to get everything working. First we need to set the base URL so find the line starting $config[‘base_url’] and set the value to something like

$config[‘base_url’] = “http://yourserver/admin/”

When you create a new repository your can have a number of default values preset by changing the following lines. I suggest setting allowpull to ‘true’ to allow people to clone the repositories and push_ssl to false to allow contributors to push changes to the repository over http. the allow_read should be set to * to allow anybody, including anonymous, to clone the repository and the allow_push can either be * to allow all authenticated users push changes back up to the repository or you can put in usernames to restrict it to specific people.

$config[‘default_hgrc’][‘general’][‘paths’][‘default’] = ‘%1$s%2$s’;
$config[‘default_hgrc’][‘general’][‘web’][‘allow_archive’] = ”;
$config[‘default_hgrc’][‘general’][‘web’][‘allow_push’] = ‘*’;
$config[‘default_hgrc’][‘general’][‘web’][‘allowpull’] = ‘true’;
$config[‘default_hgrc’][‘general’][‘web’][‘allow_read’] = ‘*’;
$config[‘default_hgrc’][‘general’][‘web’][‘contact’] = ‘your@email.address’;
$config[‘default_hgrc’][‘general’][‘web’][‘description’] = ”;
$config[‘default_hgrc’][‘general’][‘web’][‘name’] = ‘%2$s’;
$config[‘default_hgrc’][‘general’][‘web’][‘push_ssl’] = ‘false’;
$config[‘default_hgrc’][‘general’][‘web’][‘style’] = ‘monoblue’;
Next scroll down through the file till you find the lines starting with $config[‘profile’][‘default’] and edit the lines to read as follows, making sure to change the url to your servers url.
$config[‘profile’][‘default’][‘ini’] = ‘/var/hg/hgweb.config’;
$config[‘profile’][‘default’][‘default_repo_dir’] = ‘/var/hg/repos/’;
$config[‘profile’][‘default’][‘hgserve_url’] = ‘http://yourserver/hg/’;
$config[‘profile’][‘default’][‘default_hgrc’] = $config[‘default_hgrc’][‘general’];

You should also delete the 4 lines that start with $config[‘profile’][‘test’] as we don’t need them.

Save the file and then perform the following commands to enable the Apache Rewrite module and restart the apache server. You also need to give special permissions to a lock directory for phphgadmin.

sudo chown www-data:www-data /var/www/wordpress/admin/lock
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

You should now be able to go to http://yourserver/admin and be able to create new Mercurial repositories.
