moving hg to new server, hgweb setup problem

[John W]

I don't have direct experience with configuring hgweb, but have you seen
this old mailing list item?

https://lists.mercurial-scm.org/pipermail/mercurial/2020-August/052200.html

Seems worth a shot, at least.
(perhaps also see the rest of that thread)
