Dear all I configured apache as described on the man page: SetEnv GIT_PROJECT_ROOT /var/www/vhosts/git/root SetEnv GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL ScriptAlias /git/ /scratch/local/app/git/current/libexec/git-core/git-http-backend/ And then the following 2 repositories (also as described in the page): # (1) authentication for both reads and writes <LocationMatch /git/math/private_test.git> AuthType Basic AuthName "Git Access" Require user admin AuthUserFile /var/www/vhosts/git/htpasswd </LocationMatch> # (2) anonymous read access but authenticated write access <LocationMatch "/git/math/public_test.git/git-receive-pack$"> AuthType Basic AuthName "Git Access" Require user admin AuthUserFile /var/www/vhosts/git/htpasswd </LocationMatch> Now: with the repository (1) I can do everything, clone & push. With the repository (2) I can only clone and when I try to push as follow: export GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true git clone https://git.math.ethz.ch/git/math/public_test.git cd public_test echo foo >> TODO git commit TODO -m bar git push I get followin errors to "stderr": error: Cannot access URL https://git.math.ethz.ch/git/math/public_test.git/, return code 22 fatal: git-http-push failed An to the apache access_log & error_log files: ==> /var/log/httpd/git-ssl.access_log <== 85.1.201.213 - - [02/Jul/2011:00:13:32 +0200] "GET /git/math/public_test.git/info/refs?service=git-receive-pack HTTP/1.1" 403 - "-" "git/1.7.5.4" 85.1.201.213 - - [02/Jul/2011:00:13:33 +0200] "GET /git/math/public_test.git/info/refs HTTP/1.1" 200 59 "-" "git/1.7.5.4" 85.1.201.213 - - [02/Jul/2011:00:13:33 +0200] "GET /git/math/public_test.git/HEAD HTTP/1.1" 200 23 "-" "git/1.7.5.4" 85.1.201.213 - - [02/Jul/2011:00:13:33 +0200] "PROPFIND /git/math/public_test.git/ HTTP/1.1" 404 - "-" "git/1.7.5.4" ==> /var/log/httpd/git-ssl.error_log <== [Sat Jul 02 00:13:33 2011] [error] [client 85.1.201.213] Request not supported: '/var/www/vhosts/git/root/math/public_test.git/' Any Idea?
