Hi Ray I tried as you suggested (even if to clone I don't need a password): $ git clone https://michele:******@git.math.ethz.ch/git/math/public_test.git ==> Cloning into public_test... remote: Counting objects: 15, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (7/7), done. remote: Total 15 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) Unpacking objects: 100% (15/15), done. And in the apache logs: 129.132.147.190 - - [04/Jul/2011:08:14:40 +0200] "GET /git/math/public_test.git/info/refs?service=git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1" 200 264 "-" "git/1.7.5.4" 129.132.147.190 - - [04/Jul/2011:08:14:40 +0200] "POST /git/math/public_test.git/git-upload-pack HTTP/1.1" 200 1688 "-" "git/1.7.5.4" But the when I push (and here is my problem): $ cd public_test $ echo foo >> TODO $ git commit TODO -m bar $ git push ==> error: Cannot access URL https://michele:******@git.math.ethz.ch/git/math/public_test.git/, return code 22 fatal: git-http-push failed I get following in the apache logs: ==> /var/log/httpd/git-ssl.access_log <== 129.132.147.190 - - [04/Jul/2011:08:17:45 +0200] "GET /git/math/public_test.git/info/refs?service=git-receive-pack HTTP/1.1" 403 - "-" "git/1.7.5.4" 129.132.147.190 - - [04/Jul/2011:08:17:45 +0200] "GET /git/math/public_test.git/info/refs HTTP/1.1" 200 59 "-" "git/1.7.5.4" ==> /var/log/httpd/git-ssl.error_log <== [Mon Jul 04 08:17:45 2011] [error] [client 129.132.147.190] Service not enabled: 'receive-pack' ==> /var/log/httpd/git-ssl.access_log <== 129.132.147.190 - - [04/Jul/2011:08:17:45 +0200] "GET /git/math/public_test.git/HEAD HTTP/1.1" 200 23 "-" "git/1.7.5.4" 129.132.147.190 - - [04/Jul/2011:08:17:46 +0200] "PROPFIND /git/math/public_test.git/ HTTP/1.1" 404 - "-" "git/1.7.5.4" ==> /var/log/httpd/git-ssl.error_log <== [Mon Jul 04 08:17:46 2011] [error] [client 129.132.147.190] Request not supported: '/var/www/vhosts/git/root/math/public_test.git/' The problem that I see is that in the configuration (see also the "man git-http-backend") you have this <LocationMatch "^/git/.*/git-receive-pack$"> and "git push" do following request: /git/whatever/info/refs?service=git-receive-pack which is not matched by the "LocationMarch". Thx, Michele PS: I'm not using WebDAV, since it is not documented in the man page.
