About tab not showing on repo page

[thurstylark]

On my cgit instance[1], I have a few repos that have either a 'README'
or a 'README.md' file at the root of the repo. In my cgitrc[2] I have
'readme=:README' and 'readme=:README.md' (among other things), but I
still have no about tab on the repo page. Even if I force it by adding
'about/' to the end of the repo url, it returns with "invalid request". 

I also tested the about-filter manually, and was able to get valid html
for both a plaintext README and a markdown README.md. 

How do I troubleshoot this further?

Try to move the 'scan-path' directive to the end of your cgitrc.

From https://git.zx2c4.com/cgit/tree/cgitrc.5.txt#n392 :

  "Be advised that only the global settings taken before the scan-path
directive will be applied to each repository."

PS: this is a recurring question - maybe the FAQ should be updated, or
the text in cgitrc.5?

Hth,

That did the trick! I never considered scan-path as the source of my
issue mainly because my search was focussed on 'about' or 'readme'. 

Thanks!

Hi David,

which version do you use?
I've a similar problem. But scan-path is at the end. (config attached)
All readme entries seem to be ignored. Only a readme entry in the git
config of a specific repo works.

My version: cgit 1.1-1 on archlinux packaged 2016-11-23 09:17 UTC

I use the exact same version, and on Arch as well.
