It is entirely reasonable to set up\ntwo subdirectories (project1 and project2) in your virtual host's home\nand serve gitweb from each of those separately using an instance-local\nconfiguration file. That way each instance can be customized.\n\nThe /etc/gitweb.conf file is not meant to provide for that\ncustomization. The way that gitweb is currently constructed, if you use\na local configuration file for an instance it will completely ignore the\nsystem-wide configuration file (I didn't make that decision, as it\ndoesn't make much sense to me either), so you will have to make sure\nthat ALL settings required are set in each instance-local configuration.\n\nI plan on re-submitting my touch-ups to that documentation now that a\nhave a minor window of sanity here at work (not that I expect that to\nlast).\n\n-- \n-Drew Northup\n________________________________________________\n\"As opposed to vegetable or mineral error?\"\n-John Pescatore, SANS NewsBites Vol. 12 Num. 59\n"},{"id":"171261","messageId":"m3bowyb1gd.fsf@localhost.localdomain","threadId":"27805","inReplyTo":"700B9246C3446949B8085B181F2C217804E59B@renexmb01.roe2.renesasmobile.com","subject":"Re: Multiple projects with gitweb","fromName":"Jakub Narebski","fromEmail":"jnareb@gmail.com","sentAt":"2011-07-13T16:17:23Z","receivedAt":"2011-07-13T16:17:23Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"jnareb@gmail.com","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2706?v=4"},"body":" writes:\n\n> Hello,\n> \n> I'm trying to have this with GitWeb.\n> I have a repo under /project1 and a repo under /project2 on my Git server.\n> I would like to access these 2 repo via Gitweb like that: \n> http://mygitserver/project1 and http://mygitserver/project2.\n>\n> The problem is that gitweb.conf permit to use just one repo\n> with directive $projectroot.\n\nActually it is not true. The full path to repository is\n\n \"$projectroot/$project\"\n\nso if you really have both repositories in top directory, try using\n\n our $projectroot = \"/\";\n\nOf course to have \"http://mygitserver/project1\" as URL you have to do\nsome URL rewriting; I think there is example either in gitweb/README\nor in gitweb/INSTALL.\n\nHTH\n-- \nJakub Narębski\n"},{"id":"171262","messageId":"m34o2qb1ao.fsf_-_@localhost.localdomain","threadId":"27805","inReplyTo":"1310566351.5205.9.camel@drew-northup.unet.maine.edu","subject":"Re: Multiple projects with gitweb","fromName":"Jakub Narebski","fromEmail":"jnareb@gmail.com","sentAt":"2011-07-13T16:20:51Z","receivedAt":"2011-07-13T16:20:51Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"jnareb@gmail.com","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2706?v=4"},"body":"Drew Northup writes:\n\n[...]\n> The /etc/gitweb.conf file is not meant to provide for that\n> customization.
