Having said that, you \ncan run git-update-server-info locally, and copy .git/info/refs to the \nwebserver.\n\nHOWEVER, most likely you have to adjust the permissions on the webserver \nafterwards. As I said, the easiest way is to follow the docs (which boils \ndown to do even the initial push using git).\n\nHth,\nDscho\n"},{"id":"34377","messageId":"19695.1171344721@localhost","threadId":"6785","inReplyTo":"Pine.LNX.4.63.0702130009010.22628@wbgn013.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de","subject":"Re: Publishing on a simple HTTP server","fromName":"Xavier Maillard","fromEmail":"zedek@gnu.org","sentAt":"2007-02-13T05:32:01Z","receivedAt":"2007-02-13T05:32:01Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"zedek@gnu.org","avatar":null},"body":"Hi,\n\nJohannes Schindelin wrote:\n\n> On Mon, 12 Feb 2007, Xavier Maillard wrote:\n> \n> > Cannot get remote repository information.\n> > Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there?\n> \n> How did you upload?\n\nI wrote a small LFTP mirror script.\n\nI will check your tutorial but I am pretty sure I won't be able\nto run all the commands (I, for example, can't do more than\nconnecting onto a FTP server at my FAI).\n\nXavier\n"},{"id":"34390","messageId":"Pine.LNX.4.63.0702131106230.1300@wbgn013.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de","threadId":"6785","inReplyTo":"19695.1171344721@localhost","subject":"Re: Publishing on a simple HTTP server","fromName":"Johannes Schindelin","fromEmail":"johannes.schindelin@gmx.de","sentAt":"2007-02-13T10:07:31Z","receivedAt":"2007-02-13T10:07:31Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"johannes.schindelin@gmx.de","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/127790?v=4"},"body":"Hi,\n\nOn Tue, 13 Feb 2007, Xavier Maillard wrote:\n\n> Johannes Schindelin wrote:\n> \n> > On Mon, 12 Feb 2007, Xavier Maillard wrote:\n> > \n> > > Cannot get remote repository information.\n> > > Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there?\n> > \n> > How did you upload?\n> \n> I wrote a small LFTP mirror script.\n> \n> I will check your tutorial but I am pretty sure I won't be able to run \n> all the commands (I, for example, can't do more than connecting onto a \n> FTP server at my FAI).\n\nIn that case, please extend your mirror script to run \ngit-update-server-info before mirroring.\n\nAnd if it works, a small description (maybe as a patch for \nDocumentation/howto/?) would be nice.\n\nCiao,\nDscho\n"},{"id":"34397","messageId":"23628.1171367140@localhost","threadId":"6785","inReplyTo":"Pine.LNX.4.63.0702131106230.1300@wbgn013.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de","subject":"Re: Publishing on a simple HTTP server","fromName":"Xavier Maillard","fromEmail":"zedek@gnu.org","sentAt":"2007-02-13T11:45:40Z","receivedAt":"2007-02-13T11:45:40Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"zedek@gnu.org","avatar":null},"body":"Johannes Schindelin wrote:\n\n> In that case, please extend your mirror script to run \n> git-update-server-info before mirroring.\n\nI thought this:\n\ngit --bare --git-dir=/tmp/my-cloned.git update-server-info\n\nwas supposed to achieve this.
