Thanks a lot Paul!

Following your suggestion I have removed the link and now in the public_html
folder I have the following files:
hgweb.config
hgwebdir.cgi
prog_development 

where the folder prog_development contains all my repositories:
/home/myuser/public_html/prog_development/rep1
/home/myuser/public_html/prog_development/rep2
/home/myuser/public_html/prog_development/rep3


The hgweb.config is:
[collections]
/home/myuser/public_html=/home/myuser/public_html/prog_development

Note that now /home/myuser/public_html/prog_development is not a link but it
is a real folder.

Exactly this is the related part of my httpd.conf file:

DirectoryIndex index.html index.php hgwebdir.cgi hgweb.cgi

And this is the configuration part for public_html folders:

UserDir public_html
<Directory /home/*/public_html>
    AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    Options ExecCGI MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
    <Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Limit>
    <LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND>
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
    </LimitExcept>
</Directory>


Unfortunately this configuration gives me exactly the same problems as
before. Moreover I had to introduce the following link in the public_html
folder:

static -> /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mercurial/templates/static/

Without this link my web server cannot access to the templates and gives me
only plain text pages. 
 
Anyway what I cannot really understand is why using the script hgwebdir.cgi
I have links to my archivies like:

http://mypc/~myuser/prog_development/rep1/archive/tip.zip 

that does NOT work while using the script hgweb.cgi the links are like:

http://mypc/~myuser/prog_development/rep1/?archive/tip.zip 

that works fine! 

I guess I should have the question mark in both cases because the archive is
not present on the server and should be created by the scripts on fly. Isn't
it??


Any other suggestions? I'm really confused.


Bye
