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.

You're sure the user the webserver is running as has access to the repo as well? - Fredrik -- Kind regards, Fredrik Skolmli ``` ## J.H., 2008-11-30 00:24 Subject: Re: gitweb doesn't work with bare repositories Message-ID: <4931DD20.6020603@eaglescrag.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/4931DD20.6020603%40eaglescrag.net In-Reply-To: <20081130000115.GB20403@frsk.net> ``` As a note kernel.org uses, predominantly, bare repositories and it works fine there.... - John 'Warthog9' Hawley Chief Kernel.org Administrator Fredrik Skolmli wrote: > On Sun, Nov 30, 2008 at 02:37:30AM +0300, Evgeniy Ivanov wrote: > >> Hi, >> > > Hi. > > Just checking now, but are the following corrections right? > > >> In projects I have created bare repo: >> mkdir some >> > > mkdir some.git > > >> cd some.git >> git --bare init >> cd /some_git_repo >> git push /srv/www/gamekeeper/htdocs/projects master >> > > git push /srv/www/gamekeeper/htdocs/projects/some.git master > > >> Permissions are ok, virtual host is ok since I get main page and have >> access to cloned repo. >> > > You're sure the user the webserver is running as has access to the repo as > well? > > - Fredrik > > ``` ## Jakub Narebski, 2008-11-30 00:25 Subject: Re: gitweb doesn't work with bare repositories Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/m3bpvyjc0r.fsf%40localhost.localdomain In-Reply-To: <4931D23A.10402@gmail.com> ``` Evgeniy Ivanov writes: > I have installed gitweb and can't make it work with bare repos. Actually gitweb treats all repositories as bare repositories, and doesn't touch at all neither index nor working area. > I have such config: > $my_uri = "http://mysite.org:8000"; > $projectroot = "/srv/www/gamekeeper/htdocs/projects"; > > In projects I have created bare repo: 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 > $ git push /srv/www/gamekeeper/htdocs/projects master I assume that you meant: $ git push /srv/www/gamekeeper/htdocs/projects/some.git master > > Everything fine, but when I click the link on some.git I don't have a > page (just "Error 404"). 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. -- Jakub Narebski Poland ShadeHawk on #git ``` ## Evgeniy Ivanov, 2008-11-30 14:52 Subject: Re: gitweb doesn't work with bare repositories Message-ID: <4932A8BE.9080302@gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/4932A8BE.9080302%40gmail.com In-Reply-To: <4931D23A.10402@gmail.com> ``` 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.
