I have found the following

[.........]

Here actual project root is passed to gitweb via GITWEB_PROJECT_ROOT environment variable from a web server, so you need to put the following line in gitweb configuration file (/etc/gitweb.conf in above example):

$projectroot = $ENV{'GITWEB_PROJECTROOT'} || "/pub/git";

Note that this requires to be set for each request, so either $per_request_config must be false, or the above must be put in code referenced by $per_request_config;

[.........]

I have already set

$per_request_config = 'false';

at /etc/gitweb.conf but no effect.

I appreciate if anyone put me on the right track.

Thanks
