Everything Mercurial shows you in hgweb is generated from a template.
The templates live in .tmpl files on disk. One or more of them appear to
be damaged.

(That was probably your _access_ log, not your _error_ log.)

Please note I was unable to browse ANY file from ANY repo on your
webserver when using the default style (paper).

For instance:

http://hg.malikania.fr/bloclimber/file/9ff841255741/CMakeLists.txt
http://hg.malikania.fr/bloclimber/file/9ff841255741/src/bloc.h
http://hg.malikania.fr/sd-tris/file/8b09082cb35a/data/img/blue.png
http://hg.malikania.fr/bloclimber/annotate/b0f81fc80601/CMakeLists.txt

..all give 0 byte results but they all work when I switch file to
raw-file. This also fails:

http://hg.malikania.fr/bloclimber/?cmd=file;file=/src/bloc.h;filenode=9ff841255741

but these work:

http://hg.malikania.fr/bloclimber/?cmd=file;file=/src/bloc.h;filenode=9ff841255741
http://hg.malikania.fr/bloclimber/filediff/b0f81fc80601/CMakeLists.txt
http://hg.malikania.fr/bloclimber/raw-annotate/b0f81fc80601/CMakeLists.txt

>From this we can infer that:

a) there's nothing wrong with your repositories
b) it has nothing to do with the filenames
c) it has nothing to do with the URL format as seen by the webserver or
your webserver setup
d) most of your other templates work just fine (though graph and
annotate seem to have trouble)

..which means you probably have some empty files in mercurial/templates/
somewhere on your disk.
