Ok, I added an explicit path to darcs:

-        #darcspath = "/home/me/bin/"
+       darcspath = "/usr/local/bin/"

and provided a cache

-        #cachedir = '/tmp/darcsweb-cache'
+       cachedir = '/tmp'

and now darcsweb works on MathAction:

http://page.axiom-developer.org/darcsweb.cgi

I think this is a really cool way to browse the souce code!
It's a bit slow with a big repository like axiom--main--1
but the annotations and shading are very nice. E.g.

http://page.axiom-developer.org/darcsweb.cgi?r=axiom--main--1;a=annotate
_shade;f=/Makefile

and the searching is quite impressive, e.g.

http://page.axiom-developer.org/darcsweb.cgi?r=axiom--main--1&a=search&s
