Hello,

I am a newbie in git technology, please bear with me. I am interested to implement git over http along with  gitweb.

At first I have already created a demo git repository in the server

ˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋ``
$ cd (project-directory)
$ git init
$ (add some files)
$ git add .
$ git commit -m 'Initial commit'
ˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋ`

Then I have set gitweb in apache

ˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋ
 Alias /gitweb  /var/gitdir/
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^gitweb$ gitweb/ [R]
SetEnv GITWEB_CONFIG /etc/gitweb.conf

<Directory "/var/gitdir/">
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Options +ExecCGI +Indexes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
DirectoryIndex gitweb.cgi
SetEnv GITWEB_CONFIG "/etc/gitweb.conf"
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
</Directory>
ˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋ``

After restating apache I can see gitweb at http://192.168.1.1/gitweb ; but clicking on the demo project, which I have created;  just gives an error as

ˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋ``
The requested URL /index.php was not found on this server
ˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋ`

webdav is already running in this server for some other project. I have setup webdav for git like

ˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋ
<IfModule mod_dav_svn.c>
<Location /myproject.git>
Dav on
AuthType Basic
AuthName "My repo with git"
AuthUserFile /home/svn/PASSWORD
<Limitexcept GET HEAD PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
Require valid-user
</Limitexcept>
</Location>
</IfModule>
ˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋ

Now testing with cadaver

ˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋ``
cadaver https://192.168.1.1/gitweb/test.git

Authentication required for Write access requires a password on server `192.168.1.1':
Username: svnadmin
Password:
Could not open collection:
404 Not Found

ˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋ`

I think for both the cases there are some configuration problem which can't find the correct location/path. Could anyone kindly enlighten me, actually where the problem is ?

Thanks for your time

```

gitweb related issue is solved. At /etc/gitweb.conf the following was creating the problem

ˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋ`
$feature{'pathinfo'}{'default'} = [1];
ˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋˋ

commenting it has solved the gitweb issue.   But no success with webda  :-(
