apache 2.2 frontend for GIT.

We have installed apache 2.2 on an AIX box. We have also installed GIT rpms and now we want to setup a frontend
using apache. In the same box, apache is serving as frontend to SVN and work OK.

First, we have create a new FS and initializate GIT repository by running
#cd /my_git_repo
#git init

Open in new window


This is the configuration we have on apache for GIT.

     <Location /my_git_repo>
      Dav on
      AuthName "GIT-LDAP-Auth BSA"
      AuthType Basic
      AuthBasicProvider ldap
      AuthzLDAPAuthoritative on
      AuthLDAPBindDN "binduser@domain.net"
      AuthLDAPBindPassword password

      AuthLDAPURL "ldap://domain.net:3268/?sAMAccountName?sub?"
      AuthUserFile /dev/null
      Require ldap-user user1
      Allow from 192.168.1.1
      Allow from localhost
      Deny from All
    </Location>

Open in new window


But, now when we're going to clone the git repositpry we're having this error


[Mon Jun 15 18:02:47 2015] [error] [client 192.168.12.12] File does not exist: /var/www/htdocs/my_git_repo/info

You've created your repo at...

/my_git_repo

but apache is trying to serve it from...

/var/www/htdocs/my_git_repo


Probably the easiest way is to just create it in /var/www/htdocs rather than in the root / directory.

Otherwise, you could try adding the below just before the <Location> element in your config...

Alias /my_git_repo /my_git_repo

Open in new window


You may or may not also try changing <Location> to <Directory> (and the same for the closing tag)
