All's that is left now is to have it so my project root is symlinked to a network share. I already have the network share mount on my system as /Volumes/networkShare/projects. My $projectroot variable in /etc/gitweb.conf is set to '/var/www/html'. After this I create a symlink, 'ln -s /Volumes/networkShare/projects /var/www/html' which then creates a symlink in my html folder called projects. I edit my gitweb.conf file so the $projectroot is now set to /var/www/html/projects and gitweb fails to see the git projects. What gives? Is there any other way to do this? Thanks.
