Here's the current problem: Git is working perfectly over SSH. The server is Ubuntu, and doing cadaver https://serveraddress/.git successfully authenticates using the passwd file I provided to Apache. Basically I've done everything from Rutger's guide (http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/v1.4.4.4/howto/setup-git-server-over-http.txt) except for the ~/.netrc stuff. However, once authenticated to the .git folder (cadaver through https), basic commands give strange errors or 404s. Ls throws "Listing collection `/.git/': failed: Could not read status line: Secure connection truncated" and cd /to/some/legitimate/directory throws "Could not access /.git/dir/ (not WebDAV-enabled?): 404 Not Found." Oddly tab-completion for cd suggests the contents of the directory (although I'm cadaver-ing from localhost). Same results remotely in a browser: authenticates successfully and gives 404s. Trying git clone https://server/.git throws: "warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout" ...despite the working certificate and authorization. Any ideas? Thanks infinity and one to anybody with attention for this! Chris Note: Apache owns all the files here so I really hope it's not a permissions thing. ------------------ Git version info -------------------- server> git version 1.5.4.3 remote-laptop> git version 1.5.6.4 ------------------------------------------------------------ ``` ## Sean Estabrooks, 2008-07-29 17:32 Subject: Re: SSL + mod_dav + Git Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/BLU0-SMTP26525E587622EEECC5C06CAE820%40phx.gbl In-Reply-To: ``` On Tue, 29 Jul 2008 07:53:08 -0400 "Chris Hart" wrote: > However, once authenticated to the .git folder (cadaver through > https), basic commands give strange errors or 404s.

Hi Chris, Unfortunately this won't be overly helpful, but what you're describing is not a problem with Git. There appears to be some problem with your Apache setup. If nobody on the list here offers a solution, you might want to try the apache mailing list or #apache.

You'll get better chance on an apache-related list I think. > Trying git clone https://server/.git throws: This actually uses plain http, not webdav itself. push will be the next step, and will be the one using webdav. > "warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout" That can mean you need a git update-server-info on the server. -- Matthieu ```
