after lost of research on the www i am still at a loss on how to properly do push/pull over HTTP it seems to work on the GIT level, however PUSHS to the remote repository do NOT show up in the file-structure: adding a file locally, then pushing to the remote repository - the file will not appear in the remote listing, however it became part of the remote repository. in the httpd.conf i put these directives <Location /GIT> AllowOverride All DAV on </Location> <Location /GIT/.git> AuthType Basic AuthName "Git" AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/pwd Require valid-user </Location> as /GIT is the publicly accessible site- i put authentication in the /GIT/.git location another issue i can't seem to solve: having a REWRITE directive in the /GIT directory seems to obstruct any PUSH attempt from the local repository... any help would be highy appreciated! thanx, andreas . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
