Dear all

I configured apache as described on the man page:

SetEnv GIT_PROJECT_ROOT /var/www/vhosts/git/root
SetEnv GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL
ScriptAlias /git/ /scratch/local/app/git/current/libexec/git-core/git-http-backend/

And then the following 2 repositories (also as described in the page):

# (1) authentication for both reads and writes
<LocationMatch /git/math/private_test.git>
   AuthType Basic
   AuthName "Git Access"
   Require user admin
   AuthUserFile /var/www/vhosts/git/htpasswd
</LocationMatch>

# (2) anonymous read access but authenticated write access
<LocationMatch "/git/math/public_test.git/git-receive-pack$">
   AuthType Basic
   AuthName "Git Access"
   Require user admin
   AuthUserFile /var/www/vhosts/git/htpasswd
</LocationMatch>

Now: with the repository (1) I can do everything, clone & push. With the repository (2) I can only clone and when I try to push as follow:

export GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true
git clone https://git.math.ethz.ch/git/math/public_test.git
cd public_test
echo foo >> TODO
git commit TODO -m bar
git push

I get followin errors to "stderr":
error: Cannot access URL https://git.math.ethz.ch/git/math/public_test.git/, return code 22
fatal: git-http-push failed

An to the apache access_log & error_log files:
==> /var/log/httpd/git-ssl.access_log <==
85.1.201.213 - - [02/Jul/2011:00:13:32 +0200] "GET /git/math/public_test.git/info/refs?service=git-receive-pack HTTP/1.1" 403 - "-" "git/1.7.5.4"

Any Idea?

Thx, Michele

Try

  $ git clone https://<user>:<pwd>@git.math.ethz.ch/git/math/public_test.git

or put it in ~/.netrc.
