Hello,

I'm trying to get gitweb to serve my local repositories on the intranet here, but I am not successful in getting it to run. I got as far as getting gitweb page, containing no projects but only "403 forbidden - No projects found." I tried setting the projects_list to a directory, a subdirectory, a file with the projects to be published, etc.

Is there a guide on setting up gitweb for hare-brained people like me that don't know apache and don't know perl? In particular, the format of gitweb_conf.perl is not documented at all.
