Here's my setup: centeos apache 2 webdav git 1.6.1 I went through most of the git config over http text file instructions (http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/howto/setup-git-server-over-http.txt), just for the quick and dirty. Here's what I have in my http conf: ServerName www.codeendeavor.com DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/codeendeavor/ DavLockDB /var/logs/httpd/webdav/davlock DAV on So, I have a bare git repo here: /var/www/vhosts/codeendeavor/guttershark.git/ (I used: mkdir guttershark.git; cd guttershark.git; git --bare init). And I've turned on webdav for that location. I created the DavLockDB directory: mkdir /var/logs/httpd/webdav/davlock And I've updated permissions on the git repo, and the webdav lock to apache:apache. And when it still didn't work, I updated the permissions on the git repo to 777, and on the davlock. I'm not sure what would be going on. I searched through the servers' empty git, and my local git repo for a lock file. But don't see anything. I don't have authentication on it yet so if you want to try and push to it, feel free. After all that. here is how I interact with it: $git push origin master Unable to lock remote branch refs/heads/master error: failed to push some refs to 'http://codeendeavor.com/guttershark.git/' Anyone have any idea? Thanks a bunch! ``` ## aaron smith, 2008-12-31 08:22 Subject: Re: git push question.. error: Unable to lock remote branch refs/heads/master Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/d7ac1a680812310022j3d57a81fk1fe15c4640fd5d70%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` Oh Shit, I just figured it out. I had a friggin .htaccess file in root, that was screwing things up. Sorry for any annoyance!
