Note that this file is only necessary if you want to run the "dumb" http protocol (i.e., the less efficient one that does not require git on the server). You didn't say whether you are trying to set up a "dumb" or "smart" git-http server. These days you almost certainly want to set up a "smart" one, and you do not need to care about info/refs or running update-server-info. > on the local machine run: > git clone http://server.name/gitproject.git > > I got the error: > "Initialized empty Git repository in /local/path/gitproject/.git/ > fatal: http://server.name/gitproject.git/info/refs not found: did you run > git update-server-info on the server?" > > I saw that the file does not exist, it seem that the file post-update is > not execute. Yes, if you didn't push yet, then it won't have been created. > I run it on the git server: > git update-server-info > > Now the info/ref is created.

Have you configured your web server to allow access to the project? Have you marked the repository as git-daemon-export-ok, as described in "git help http-backend" (or set GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL in the environment)? Is there anything interesting in the webserver's error logs? If it is still not working after checking those things, can you show us how you have configured your webserver (presumably apache?). -Peff -- 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
