I want to have around 60 repositories of projects and I want to serve them from a dedicated remote server(ubuntu) with the help of mercurial server so that all my developers will be able to update their changes. I have followed this article in order to do that but stocked in the Apache Configuration Step (section 2.5 > 2.5.4). I have some following questions:

1. What are the steps I need to follow to make apache to serve /home/hg/repositories/private/hgweb.cgi when I enter dev.example.com/private ?

2. Is my virtual host file is correct or do I need to change anything ?

3. I bought the example.com and how to make it to serve dev.example.com/private. Do I need to add A name(like : subdomain.example.com and then IP of my server) in the cpannel of hosting company?

       ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
       ServerName dev.example.com
   
       ScriptAlias /private /home/hg/repositories/private/hgweb.cgi
       <Directory /home/hg/repositories/private/>
               Options ExecCGI FollowSymlinks
               AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
               DirectoryIndex hgweb.cgi
               AuthType Basic
               AuthName "Mercurial repositories"
               AuthUserFile /home/hg/tools/hgusers
               Require valid-user
       </Directory>
   
       ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/dev.example.com_error.log
   
       # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, cr$
       # alert, emerg.
       LogLevel warn
   
       CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/dev.example.com_ssl_access.lo$
   
       SSLEngine on
       SSLCertificateFile "/etc/apache2/ssl/dev.example.com.crt"
       SSLCertificateKeyFile "/etc/apache2/ssl/dev.example.com.k$
   

NOTE: The above is my virtual host file. I have not enabled the site yet and also not changed any host or hostname or httpd.conf file.
