Error setting up Mercurial on Windows Server 2008

Question

Hello, I want to set up a Mercurial SC server and have been following the instructions found here: http//stackoverflow.com/questions/818571/how-to-setup-mercurial-and-hgwebdir-on-iis

I have checked all my settings multiple times and cannot seem to get passed this error after completing the configuration. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you.

Server Error in Application "DEFAULT WEB SITE/HG"Internet Information Services 7.5

Error Summary
HTTP Error 502.2 - Bad Gateway
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are "Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\inetpub\hgcgi\hgwebdir.cgi", line 12, in <module> from mercurial import demandimport; demandimport.enable() ImportError: No module named mercurial ". Detailed Error InformationModule CgiModule

Handler Python 2.5
**Error Code 0x00000001**
Requested URL http://localhost:80/hg/hgwebdir.cgi
Physical Path C:\inetpub\hgcgi\hgwebdir.cgi
Logon Method Anonymous

 Most likely causes:
The CGI process was shut down or terminated unexpectedly before it finished processing the request.
The CGI process has a flaw and does not return a complete set of HTTP headers.
 Things you can try:
Check the event logs on the system to see whether the CGI process is shutting down unexpectedly.
Troubleshoot the CGI application to determine why it is not sending a complete set of HTTP headers.

The traceback in the very long line says that mercurial isn't found in your PYTHON_PATH. Try making the hgwebdir.cgi edit as seen in step 5.1 from the HgWebDirStopByStep page.

# adjust python path if not a system-wide install:
import sys
sys.path.insert(0, "c:/dev/Mercurial/lib")

Where, of course, the path element that's being inserted is adjusted to reference wherever your mercurial library files are.
