453610 - Internal Server Error when going to http://hg.mozilla.org/

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations, task)

Description

[Frank Wein [:mcsmurf]]

To reproduce:
1. Go to http://hg.mozilla.org/

Observe that the first three repositories are listed (actionmonkey, actionmonkey-tamarin and ast). The other repositories are not listed and above those three entries an "Internal Server Error - The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. [...]" is displayed.

Possibly also worth noting is that I'm getting the following when trying to push to comm-central:

remote: Not trusting file /repo/hg/mozilla/comm-central/.hg/hgrc from untrusted user root, group hg_mozilla

mozilla-central seems ok

Comment 2

[Dirkjan Ochtman (:djc)]

The Internal Server Error and the error in comment #1 could well be related. comm-central might come next after ast, and there is a known problem in the current hg setup that makes for problems when this kind of thing happens.

Also, not trusting the hgrc is a problem because it means hooks won't be executed, meaning no pushlog or single-head checks.

So, probably just fixing the perms on .hg/hgrc for comm-central will fix this. Longer-term, making mod_wsgi a little more flexible about this thing (using PermitStderr directive or some such) might be helpful.

looking into this.

Fixed the owners on the hgrc files, both errors should be gone now.  I am going to look for a better fix for this sometime today - either directory permissions or a cron job that scans and fixes the owners.
