I’m running the latest Mercurial and Python 2.6; IIS6 is using the wildcard ISAPI method to attach the site to the Mercurial hgwebdir_wsgi
[paths]
\ = \\COMP3254\TestRepo\*
[web]
baseurl = /
allow_push = *
push_ssl = false
style = monoblue
The setup works perfectly if I reference the local drive E:\repo* but doesnt work if I specify the network as above; I’ve given the server (MERCDEV01$) full permissions on the shared folder on COMP3254, I can’t think of any other reason it wouldn’t work.
Could be a delegation problem. You can NTLM-authenticate to the webserver (and your credentials will be trusted on its local drives), but the webserver can’t authenticate you to a remote location, because it does not know your password (i.e. it can’t delegate your credentials).
Have you tried setting up the network location as a virtual directory on the server? You can then enter credentials IIS will cache and use for accesses to that location.
