Which version of gitweb?[1] Which version of git?[2] What web server?
Which version of CGI.pm is used by web server?[3]
The included fragment after closing '</html>' tag doesn't look like
something coming from gitweb, as gitweb uses XHTML 1.0 DTD since it's
first version.
Try to view source, or use different web browser that doesn't do
strict XML validation to find the source of this error.
If everything else fals, you can always edit gitweb.cgi to comment out
content-type negotiation, to always serve as text/html mimetype -
which should torn off XML validation, as below:
my $content_type;
# require explicit support from the UA if we are to send the page as
# 'application/xhtml+xml', otherwise send it as plain old 'text/html'.
# we have to do this because MSIE sometimes globs '*/*', pretending to
# support xhtml+xml but choking when it gets what it asked for.
# Disable content-type negotiation when caching (use mimetype good for all).
#if (defined $cgi->http('HTTP_ACCEPT') &&
# $cgi->http('HTTP_ACCEPT') =~ m/(,|;|\s|^)application\/xhtml\+xml(,|;|\s|$)/ &&
# $cgi->Accept('application/xhtml+xml') != 0) {
# $content_type = 'application/xhtml+xml';
#} else {
$content_type = 'text/html';
#}
The commands below are _examples_ only:
[1] grep -F 'our $version' /var/www/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi
[2] git --version
[3] perl -MCGI -le 'print $CGI::VERSION'

I don't think that difference in version numbers would be the problem. Is this a version of git that gitweb (or to be more accurate web server) sees? Take a look at HTML source of page returned by gitweb, and at the top there would be 'git core binaries version' in comment, and 'git/<version>' in the meta generator tag (this can be seen also in "View Page Info" view, not only in "View Page Source").

This should not be a problem then.

You have two problems here. First is that gitweb doesn't find your projects because of problem with filesystem permissions. Second is what it looks misconfigured web server. The second part, starting after [OPML][TXT] is not from gitweb, but from a web server. It looks like you have either two web servers, or two parts of web server configuration, or some worker of web server that didn't get updated configuration, and it doesn't have permissions to access gitweb.cgi or doesn't have configuration to know what to do with the above URL. What might help is, if you can, to restart your web server, something like # apachectl restart # as root (I don't know what the proper command would be on DragonFlyBSD).

Apache web server usually runs as apache:apache (user apache, group apache); it most certainly *not* run as root, or is in wheel (root-like) group. So as you can see web server, and gitweb which runs with the same uid and guid, doesn't have permissions to read (access) your repositories. You need to fix permissions, perhaps (as it seems to be your private machine and private gitweb) by setting group to some common group between you and web server and giving sticky group bit, or making git repository world-readable: take a look at "shared repository" thing: see description of core.sharedRepository config variable (so that git wouldn't take world-readable permissions back). BTW. what are you doing working as root?
What could be the trouble?
Filesystem permissions on git repository, and some strange error in web server configuration. Unfortunately I haven't got a clue what to do about the latter. -- Jakub Narebski Poland

Hi once i changed the permissions of the git repositories every thing is looking fine :-) Thanks --Siju
