moving hg to new server, hgweb setup problem

[Scott Derrick]

Hi,

Moved to a new server
Ubuntu 22
python3.10
mercurial 6.1

This is the apache2 error I  get when hitting the web site address 
https://URL/hg  I don't understand what "Mercurial only supports encoded 
strings" means?

here is my hgweb.cgi file

  * #!/usr/bin/env python3
  * #
  * # An example hgweb CGI script, edit as necessary
  * # See also https://mercurial-scm.org/wiki/PublishingRepositories
  * # Path to repo or hgweb config to serve (see 'hg help hgweb')
  * config = "/var/www/cgi-hg/hbweb.config"
  * # Uncomment and adjust if Mercurial is not installed system-wide
  * # (consult "installed modules" path from 'hg debuginstall'):
  * #import sys; sys.path.insert(0, "/path/to/python/lib")
  * # Uncomment to send python tracebacks to the browser if an error occurs:
  * #import cgitb; cgitb.enable()
  * from mercurial import demandimport
  * demandimport.enable()
  * from mercurial.hgweb import hgweb, wsgicgi
  * application = hgweb("hgweb.config")
  * wsgicgi.launch(application)


here is my hgweb.config file

  * [paths]
  * #VIRTUAL_PATH = /REAL/PATH
  * #mbel  = /home/repos/mbel
  * admin = /home/repos/admin
  * mbepp = /home/repos/mbepp
  * mbepEditor = /home/repos/mbepEditor
  * monitor= /home/repos/monitor
  * solrproxy= /home/repos/solrproxy
  * mbep-data= /home/repos/mbep-data
  * mbep-util= /home/repos/mbep-util
  * mbep-editor= /home/repos/mbep-editor
  * installer=/home/repos/installer
  * updater=/home/repos/updater
  * [web]
  * style = gitweb

here is my apache hg.conf file

  * ScriptAliasMatch        ^/hg(.*) /var/www/cgi-hg/hgweb.cgi/$1
  * <Directory /var/www/cgi-hg/>
  *          Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks Indexes MultiViews
  *          AllowOverride All
  *          Order allow,deny
  *          Allow from all
  * </Directory>
  * <Directory /home/repos/>
  *   Options FollowSymLinks
  *   AllowOverride None
  *   Allow from all
  * </Directory>

I tried python 2.7 didn't change anything.  I was using a very old 
version of mercurial(past eol) on the old server, but I really don't 
want to go back to that is possible.
