Greetings, I'm trying to push a local git repository to a remote site using WebDAV, but it is eating my lunch. My first attempt includes a username but no password in the url: $ git-config remote.upload.url http://peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/git/ToastMeister.git/ $ git push upload master Fetching remote heads... refs/ refs/tags/ refs/heads/ updating 'refs/heads/master' from 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 to 0f5f3df5e289b5696d7319dcfabc2383192f306a Unable to create branch path http://peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/git/ToastMeister.git/refs Unable to lock remote branch refs/heads/master error: failed to push some refs to 'http://peter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/git/ToastMeister.git/' What surprises me here is that git never asks for a password, so naturally, my apache webserver will refuse the request: ==> /var/log/apache2/access.log <== 208.38.1.1 - - [12/Jan/2009:11:52:07 -0700] "PROPFIND /git/ToastMeister.git/ HTTP/1.1" 207 569 "-" "git/1.5.6.3" 208.38.1.1 - - [12/Jan/2009:11:52:08 -0700] "HEAD /git/ToastMeister.git/info/refs HTTP/1.1" 404 - "-" "git/1.5.6.3" 208.38.1.1 - - [12/Jan/2009:11:52:08 -0700] "HEAD /git/ToastMeister.git/objects/info/packs HTTP/1.1" 404 - "-" "git/1.5.6.3" ==> /var/log/apache2/error.log <== [Mon Jan 12 11:52:08 2009] [error] [client 208.38.1.1] File does not exist: /var/www/git/ToastMeister.git/info/refs [Mon Jan 12 11:52:08 2009] [error] [client 208.38.1.1] File does not exist: /var/www/git/ToastMeister.git/objects/info/packs ==> /var/log/apache2/access.log <== 208.38.1.1 - - [12/Jan/2009:11:52:08 -0700] "PROPFIND /git/ToastMeister.git/refs/ HTTP/1.1" 207 2587 "-" "git/1.5.6.3" 208.38.1.1 - - [12/Jan/2009:11:52:08 -0700] "PROPFIND /git/ToastMeister.git/refs/tags/ HTTP/1.1" 207 933 "-" "git/1.5.6.3" 208.38.1.1 - - [12/Jan/2009:11:52:08 -0700] "PROPFIND /git/ToastMeister.git/refs/heads/ HTTP/1.1" 207 934 "-" "git/1.5.6.3" 208.38.1.1 - peter [12/Jan/2009:11:52:08 -0700] "MKCOL /git/ToastMeister.git/refs HTTP/1.1" 401 598 "-" "git/1.5.6.3" ==> /var/log/apache2/error.log <== [Mon Jan 12 11:52:08 2009] [warn] [client 208.38.1.1] [12697] auth_ldap authenticate: user peter authentication failed; URI /git/ToastMeister.git/refs [Empty password not allowed][Invalid credentials] [Mon Jan 12 11:52:08 2009] [error] [client 208.38.1.1] user peter: authentication failure for "/git/ToastMeister.git/refs": Password Mismatch So next, I'll try adding a password to the URL: $ git-config remote.upload.url http://peter:<secret>@spierepf.dyndns.org/git/ToastMeister.git/ $ git push upload master Fetching remote heads... refs/ refs/tags/ refs/heads/ updating 'refs/heads/master' from 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 to 0f5f3df5e289b5696d7319dcfabc2383192f306a Unable to create branch path http://peter:<secret>@spierepf.dyndns.org/git/ToastMeister.git/refs Unable to lock remote branch refs/heads/master error: failed to push some refs to 'http://peter:<secret>@spierepf.dyndns.org/git/ToastMeister.git/' >From the client side, the result appears identical, but on the server: ==> /var/log/apache2/access.log <== 208.38.1.1 - - [12/Jan/2009:11:52:50 -0700] "PROPFIND /git/ToastMeister.git/ HTTP/1.1" 207 581 "-" "git/1.5.6.3" 208.38.1.1 - - [12/Jan/2009:11:52:50 -0700] "HEAD /git/ToastMeister.git/info/refs HTTP/1.1" 404 - "-" "git/1.5.6.3" 208.38.1.1 - - [12/Jan/2009:11:52:51 -0700] "HEAD /git/ToastMeister.git/objects/info/packs HTTP/1.1" 404 - "-" "git/1.5.6.3" ==> /var/log/apache2/error.log <== [Mon Jan 12 11:52:50 2009] [error] [client 208.38.1.1] File does not exist: /var/www/git/ToastMeister.git/info/refs [Mon Jan 12 11:52:51 2009] [error] [client 208.38.1.1] File does not exist: /var/www/git/ToastMeister.git/objects/info/packs ==> /var/log/apache2/access.log <== 208.38.1.1 - - [12/Jan/2009:11:52:51 -0700] "PROPFIND /git/ToastMeister.git/refs/ HTTP/1.1" 207 2587 "-" "git/1.5.6.3" 208.38.1.1 - - [12/Jan/2009:11:52:51 -0700] "PROPFIND /git/ToastMeister.git/refs/tags/ HTTP/1.1" 207 933 "-" "git/1.5.6.3" 208.38.1.1 - - [12/Jan/2009:11:52:51 -0700] "PROPFIND /git/ToastMeister.git/refs/heads/ HTTP/1.1" 207 934 "-" "git/1.5.6.3" 208.38.1.1 - peter [12/Jan/2009:11:52:51 -0700] "MKCOL /git/ToastMeister.git/refs HTTP/1.1" 301 458 "-" "git/1.5.6.3" 208.38.1.1 - - [12/Jan/2009:11:52:51 -0700] "MKCOL /git/ToastMeister.git/refs/ HTTP/1.1" 401 598 "-" "git/1.5.6.3" It looks like the client is attempting to create a collection that already exists, gets redirected (301 - Moved Permanently), forgets to authenticate on the next request, gets denied (401 - Unauthorized), and gives up. Any idea why this is happening?
