Hi,

in order to use git for some projects via WebDAV I followed the instructions given in http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/howto/setup-git-server-over-http.txt

So what I basically did is to create a bare repository on the server:

-------------------------8<------------------------ $ mkdir ~/gitrepo.git $ cd gitrepo.git $ git --bare init $ sudo chown -R www-data:www-data . -------------------------8<------------------------

On the client's side I set up a (local) repository and push changes to the server:

-------------------------8<------------------------
$ mkdir git-test
$ cd git-test
$ git init
$ touch README
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Initial commit"
$ git-config remote.upload.url http://user@server/gitrepo/
$ git push upload master
Fetching remote heads...
   refs/
   refs/heads/
   refs/tags/
updating 'refs/heads/master'
   from 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
   to   a0bb58fcd20c31d5575dbd6bdab55c9b28970429
     sending 3 objects
     done
-------------------------8<------------------------

Whenever I clone the server's repository somewhere else, I get the README file as expected. But when I use gitweb to show me the contents of the repository, all I get is this:

-------------------------8<------------------------ projects /

403 Forbidden - No projects found -------------------------8<------------------------

The projectroot variable within /etc/gitweb.conf points to my ~/gitrepo.git, and whenever I use "git init", add and commit some files locally on the server I see the contents as expected by using gitweb, but never by using a repository created with "git --bare init".

Can someone help me out? I would really appreciate any help.
