git instaweb gives 403 Forbidden - No projects found

git, http-status-code-403, instaweb

Solution

looks like the debian install of git sets `$projectroot` globally in a way that confuses `instaweb`. I removed the `$projectroot` line from `/etc/gitweb.conf` and the error went away.

Problem

running `git instaweb` in my repository opens a page that says "403 Forbidden - No projects found". What am I missing?
