The git repo is "bare" so that push is possible. But I like to have push from a limited users only, not from all. For the rest, only pull should be possible.

Now to use one more level to restrict push user I have added one more restriction like <LocationMatch "^/git/.*/git-receive-pack$"> AuthType Basic # Message to give to the committer AuthName "Write access requires a password" # File listing users with write (commit) access AuthUserFile /home/git/pushACL Require valid-user </LocationMatch> read access is working fine, but write access not. log reports ```````` user testuser not found: /git/web.git/info/refs `````````` Don't know why it is searching at /git/web.git/info/refs !! -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
