Hi, I have installed gitweb and can't make it work with bare repos. I have such config: $my_uri = "http://mysite.org:8000"; $projectroot = "/srv/www/gamekeeper/htdocs/projects";

In projects I have created bare repo: mkdir some cd some.git git --bare init cd /some_git_repo git push /srv/www/gamekeeper/htdocs/projects master

Everything fine, but when I click the link on some.git I don't have a page (just "Error 404").

But if I clone /some_git_repo with some in the projects, I have a link "some/.git" and it works fine.

Permissions are ok, virtual host is ok since I get main page and have access to cloned repo.

What can be wrong?

Cheers, Evgeniy.

Just checking now, but are the following corrections right?

You're sure the user the webserver is running as has access to the repo as well?

As a note kernel.org uses, predominantly, bare repositories and it works fine there....

Actually gitweb treats all repositories as bare repositories, and doesn't touch at all neither index nor working area.

I assume that you have done:

$ cd /srv/www/gamekeeper/htdocs/projects

> $ mkdir some

I assume that you meant here

$ mkdir some.git

> $ cd some.git
> $ git --bare init
> $ cd /some_git_repo

I assume that you meant:

$ git push /srv/www/gamekeeper/htdocs/projects/some.git master

What error? Please provide _exact_ error message.

Does the problem persists with the following corrections? Do you have permissions set up correctly? How did you generate gitweb.cgi?

SAA#1 (Standard admin answer #1): WORKSFORME.

Re: gitweb doesn't work with bare repositories

Thanks to everybody for answers. I'm not subscribed and saw them in the list archive. All things you have noticed are typos, sure I typed commands correctly. The problem was caused by "$feature{'pathinfo'}{'default'} = [1];" in the config. So the problem is solved now. Good luck :)
