I was trying to set mine up in a userdir environment so that <server>/ 
~jordan/hg will show the repos and clicking on them will work.  I  
have failed in my attempt, here is what I have done so far:

The repo is at /Users/jordan/hg_repos/mercurial (only one right now).

Relevant section of the apache config:

<Directory "/Users/jordan/Sites/">
     AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
     Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Includes ExecCGI
     DirectoryIndex hgwebdir.cgi
     AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
     RewriteEngine on
     RewriteRule ^hg(/repos/.*)$ /Users/jordan/Sites/hg/hgwebdir.cgi$1
</Directory>

My hgwebdir.cgi script (at /Users/jordan/Sites/hg/hgwebdir.cgi):

#!/usr/local/bin/python
#
# An example CGI script to export multiple hgweb repos, edit as  
necessary

import cgitb, sys
cgitb.enable()

#sys.path.insert(0, "/path/to/python/lib") # if not a system-wide  
install
from mercurial import hgweb

# The config file looks like this:
# [paths]
# virtual/path = /real/path
# virtual/path = /real/path

# Alternatively you can pass a list of ('virtual/path', '/real/path')  
tuples
# or use a dictionary with entries like 'virtual/path': '/real/path'

repos = {};

repos["repos/mercurial"] = "/Users/jordan/hg_repos/mercurial";

h = hgweb.hgwebdir(repos);
h.run()

This is the error I get when clicking on the repo in the listing:
Not Found

The requested URL /Users/jordan/Sites/hg/hgwebdir.cgi/repos/mercurial  
was not found on this server.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jordan
