Where is hgrc in my local mercurial repo?

Question

I have a local mercurial repo named mercurialTest in the directory

/home/xyz/MERCURIAL

I am serving it using mercurial's web server (I used the commandhg serve).The repo is available at

http://xyz-satellite-l640:8000/

I clonned the repo mercurialTest in the following directory

/home/xyz/MERCURIALWORKERS/workerOne
/home/xyz/MERCURIALWORKERS/workerTwo

Now I in the repo MERCURIAL which is inside workerOne , I added a file named

mercurialbasics.txt

I added and commited the file. Now I am trying to push the file to

/home/xyz/MERCURIAL

However I get the following error

pushing to http://xyz-satellite-l640:8000/
searching for changes
remote: ssl required

According to the tutorial http://hginit.com/02.html I have to change something in the hgrc file that's located in /home/xyz/MERCURIAL

However I donot see that file.So what exactly am I doing wrong or missing?

As I mentioned before, you could modify the way you serve that repos with a:

hg serve --config web.push_ssl=No --config "web.allow_push=*"

The hgrc is usually within your home: ~/.hgrc.

See the "Configuration file location of Publishing Mercurial Repositories":

hgweb reads global and repository-specific configuration files like Mercurial does - see hg help config. Note that it will read the .hgrc of the user the web server runs as.

As mentioned in hg help config, you have local, global, per-user, and system hgrc files.

<repo>/.hg/hgrc
$HOME/.hgrc
/etc/mercurial/hgrc
<install-root>/etc/mercurial/hgrc
<install-root>/etc/mercurial/hgrc.d/*.rc
