Subject: 403 Forbidden for git repository over http

---

Hi All,
I am trying to setup a central Git server which can be accessed over HTTP protocol.
I have installed Bitnami WAMP stack with Apache 2.4 version. The Git repository is located in C:\Git\Repos.
In httpd.conf file, I have changed the Document Root folder to C:\Git\Repos

DocumentRoot "C:\Git\Repos"
<Directory "C:\Git\Repos">
Options All
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>

There are not .httpaccess file in C:\Git\Repos so 'AllowOverride All' has no effect, I could have kept it None as well. To begin with, I am just trying to serve git repository over http and hence I have allowed access to everybody.
The Env variable for Git has been set and all GET request ending with /git/ is redirected to git-http-backend.

SetEnv GIT_PROJECT_ROOT "C:\Git\Repos"
SetEnv GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL
ScriptAlias /git/ "C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/libexec/git-core/git-http-backend/"

However, I get 403 Forbidden error when I try to clone the repository like this

C:\test>git clone http://localhost:80/git/Projects/example
Cloning into 'example'...
fatal: unable to access 'http://localhost:80/git/Projects/example/': The requested URL returned error: 403

. Following is the error in access log

::1 - - [22/Aug/2016:16:44:54 +0530] "GET /git/ HTTP/1.1" 403 213

Error in Error Log

[client ::1:64266] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/libexec/git-core/git-http-backend

So it looks like git-http-backend is not allowing this access. As per the documentation, it concatenates environment variables PATH_INFO with GIT_PROJECT_ROOT which seems be correctly set. I also tried "AcceptPathInfo On" but that didn't help.


I have been reading and trying lots of things like the ones mentioned below including searching this forum to any solution to this but still in vain.

https://docs.moodle.org/31/en/Manual_install_on_Windows_7_with_Apache_and_MySQL#Step_4:_Configure_Apache_and_PHP
https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-http-backend.html
http://www.parallelsymmetry.com/howto/git.jsp

I have tried to give location access to /git/ path but that didn't help

<LocationMatch "^/git/">
      AuthType Basic
      AuthName "Git Access"
      Require all granted
</LocationMatch>

Also for all fetch requests

<LocationMatch "^/git/.*/git-receive-pack$">
      AuthType Basic
      AuthName "Git Access"
      Require group committers
      ...
</LocationMatch>

I also given Read/write access to C:\Git\Repos to ALL users in the system. I am using Windows Server 2012 R2.

I have a feeling that either some of the above configuration is wrong OR git-http-backend is expecting something which I have not set.

I have been trying to setup the access for last few days and above are just few of things that I tried. Kindly help.

Please don't remove this post as I searched the forum already and didn't come across any similar post with solution.

Regards,
Amit
