* FAQ

Q: Im getting the 403 error?
A: Please make sure that youve assigned a user/group to the repository and that the current Hg user account has read/write access to the repository.

Q: Why cant I use the 80 port in Hg Server?
A: The ports below 1024 are reserved for root users only, but a sandboxed app cant ask for root privileges, so you can not use those ports in Hg Server.
