Forbid access to /gitweb but authorize the sub projets

Hello,

I have several projects under https://myserver/gitweb and I would like to forbid the access to the root, so that the users can't list the differents projects.

However, I need to let the access to the sub projects (ex: https://myserver/gitweb/?p=project1;a=summary

How can I do please ?

Thank you in advance :)

My favourite way of doing this is abusing the fact that gitweb.conf is perl code that's loaded with do $filename.

This makes it easy to override such things. Try this in gitweb.conf for example:

sub no_index {
    die_error(403, "No access to the repository list");
}

$actions{project_list} = \&no_index;
$actions{project_index} = \&no_index;
$actions{opml} = \&no_index;
