What you probably want to do is to add a virtual host at source.example.com, and make that virtual host use cgi and then simply call fossil using its cgi interface. I do precisely that in my setup (but I also support client certificates and REMOTE_USER; this way I use the access control features in apache to control which clients can access which repositories). Added bonus: You can point fossil to a directory and it'll allow you to access all the repositories by filename in that directory without any additional configuration. > 3.

If you make apache invoke fossil as cgi, then you don't need to do that. -- Kind Regards, Jan _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
