I'm trying to configure mercurial access using Apache http.
It requires authentication. My /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mercurial looks like this:
NameVirtualHost *:8080
<VirtualHost *:8080>
UseCanonicalName Off
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
ScriptAliasMatch ^(.*) /usr/lib/cgi-bin/hgwebdir.cgi/$1
</VirtualHost>
Every tutorial I read on the internet tells me to insert these lines:
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/etc/httpd/users
But when I do it I get the following error:
# /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
Syntax error on line 8 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mercurial:
AuthType not allowed here
My distro is a customized Ubuntu called Turnkey Linux Redmine
