Hmm. I was hopeful when I saw that your configuration was different from mine. However, it seems to be something else. BTW, I'm running cherokee on ARM.

========================================
Directory / {
    Handler common
}

Directory /g/ {
    Handler cgi {
        Scriptalias /usr/lib/cgi-bin/git.cgi
    }
}
Directory /git/ {
    Handler cgi {
        Scriptalias /usr/lib/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi
    }
}
========================================

gitweb.cgi is an old version.  git.cgi is the latest release.

I can see the project overview page, but all of the links bring me back to the same top-level page, no summary, not logs. I've verified that the web server's user can read the git repo.

I don't doubt that this is a cherokee issue.

Cheers.
