PROPFIND 405 with git-http-backend and Smart HTTP

I'm setting up a git server with git-http-backend and Smart HTTP but I'm getting PROPFIND Error 405 with git push.

Here's my config:

    <VirtualHost *:8000>
      ServerName localhost
      DocumentRoot /opt/local/apache2/htdocs/repo

      SetEnv GIT_PROJECT_ROOT /opt/local/apache2/htdocs/repo
      SetEnv GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL

      ScriptAlias /repo/ /usr/libexec/git-core/git-http-backend/
      AliasMatch ^/repo/(.*/objects/[0-9a-f]{2}/[0-9a-f]{38})$         
/opt/local/apache2/htdocs/repo/$1
      AliasMatch ^/repo/(.*/objects/pack/pack-[0-9a-f]{40}.(pack|idx))$
/opt/local/apache2/htdocs/repo/$1

      ScriptAliasMatch \
        "(?x)^/repo/(.*/(HEAD | \
        info/refs | \
        objects/(info/[^/]+ | \
            [0-9a-f]{2}/[0-9a-f]{38} | \
            pack/pack-[0-9a-f]{40}\.(pack|idx)) | \
        git-(upload|receive)-pack))$" \
        /usr/libexec/git-core/git-http-backend/$1

      <LocationMatch "^/repo/.*/git-receive-pack$">
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "Git"
        Require valid-user
        AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/other/htpasswd
      </LocationMatch>
    </VirtualHost>

And here's a snip from my access_log:

    ::1 - - [29/Jul/2012:18:34:34 +0100] "GET
/repo/myproject.git/info/refs?service=git-receive-pack HTTP/1.1" 200 117
    ::1 - - [29/Jul/2012:18:34:34 +0100] "GET /repo/myproject.git/HEAD
HTTP/1.1" 200 23
    ::1 - - [29/Jul/2012:18:34:34 +0100] "PROPFIND /repo/myproject.git/
HTTP/1.1" 405 247

Any ideas?

This suggests the client didn't see the server as one supporting smart HTTP. ...

Was this request actually served using the smart http-backend? Try the request yourself on the command line with curl, making sure to pass the ?service=git-receive-pack query parameter. A smart HTTP response will include a service=git-receive-pack line as the first line of the response body. I don't think Apache called the http-backend CGI, and so the client thought the server was not smart HTTP capable.

This is what curl returned:

2ddf56592a0f55456b8c42dc9f2cb9289f083f53 refs/heads/1.0.x 55079bb13d9af8a9164ad0d24b654cbfe119bc7e refs/heads/master

Looks okay. Those are the 2 branches I've got.

No, a smart HTTP response looks more like this:

1e# service=git-receive-pack 000000a5e7a3bcbbb8083e812ce07a5459f0e6d30edfb9fe HEAD include-tag multi_ack_detailed multi_ack ofs-delta side-band side-band-64k thin-pack no-progress shallow no-done

Looks like Apache isn't calling the smart-http CGI.

Oh ok, thanks! But do you have any idea why? Everything in my config looks okay to me. I've got my GIT_PROJECT_ROOT, my GIT_HTTP_EXPORT_ALL, my ScriptAlias and my LocationMatch. I'm not sure why it's like this.

Maybe you forgot to enable ExecCGI?

Shawn Pearce wrote

Whoops, completely forgot about that, but, assuming I did it right, it still doesn't seem to work.

Here's what I did:

  <Directory "/usr/libexec/git-core/">
    Options +ExecCGI
    Allow From All
  </Directory>

Are all directory permissions set right? Is SELINUX enabled, and if so are all of the contexts set correctly? Does your Apache configuration recognize things NOT spelled *.cgi as CGI scripts / programs?

Besides, once you start asking Apache to do things outside of the base Document Root all sorts of interesting possibilities for failure become available.

I am pretty sure that this isn't a Git problem, it is a CGI hosting / configuration problem. An Apache-centric list may be able to help you better and is likely a better place to ask.

You need to allow the directory to be read?
	<directory Path/to/your/repositories>
  		Allow from all
	</directory>
