  74 # this can just be "git" if your webserver has a sensible PATH
  75 our $GIT = "/home/lake/usr/bin/git";
  76 
  77 # absolute fs-path which will be prepended to the project path
  78 #our $projectroot = "/pub/scm";

  79 our $projectroot = "/var/www/gitweb";

 

Add /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf  

 

or

rpm install/gitweb will have a conf in /etc/httpd/conf.d/git.conf

<Directory "/var/www/gitweb">
    DirectoryIndex gitweb.cgi
    Options ExecCGI
    Require all granted
    <Files gitweb.cgi>
    SetHandler cgi-script
    </Files>
#    SetEnv  GITWEB_CONFIG  /etc/gitweb.conf   <<<<<<<  This can be set in gitweb.cgi/perl script....  
</Directory>
