I have disabled cache: i have nocache=1 (we are working without cache yet, cache-size set to 0, but for the experiment i commented this out) We are using scan mode as we have central folder to store our repos. So I switched off the scanmode by commenting the scan-url out from cgitrc

Now when i'm trying to generate the html for the repo in question i get html where it says "no repositories found". It is obviously not picking up the PATH_INFO

The command is like this: $ PATH_INFO=/home/users/gitrepouser/repos/subfolder/repo.git ./cgit.cgi 1>cgit.html 2>cgit.log

Usually, we are scanning the folder /home/users/gitrepouser/repos/ cgit.log is empty so far

Thanks, Eugene
